0.9.5 Windows Initialization Bug

Upon first downloading the new version, I also downloaded the patch and attempted to use it, going by the (vague) instructions provided on the site. However, upon initializing the game, the command prompt starts, then shows the following:

RTCWCoop 0.9.5 win-x86 May  3 2013
----- FS_Startup -----
Current search path:

----------------------
662 files in pk3 files
----- CL_Shutdown -----: Com_Error

----- CL_Shutdown -----: Couldn't load default.cfg

Upon several failed attempts to fix this, as I assumed I had patched incorrectly, I gave up and got a fresh download.

The same problem persisted.

How can I fix this?
