Hi Lookaloft,
It sounds to me like you've missed something, or have a corrupted install.
Did you include the .bin file when installing your 4.14 patch?
Patch 4.14 is an odd patch. It contains a separate bin file in addition to the usual exe file that you use to install the patch.
Patching directly from 4.13.4 to 4.14.1 is recommended, but make sure you actually download the 4.13.4 to 4.14.1 patch, not just the 4.14 to 4.14.1 patch.
You need to download both the exe file and the bin file. And, if I recall correctly, you have to run the patch exe file from the same folder as you have the bin file in.
The official downloads can be found at the link below, and the ones I have bolded below are used to patch from 4.13.4, or you can use the Mission4Today link also shown below:

You don't need to download the DS.exe unless you are planning to run a dedicated server.
