Heretic II 1.06 update is more of an add-on than just a patch. See its readme:

http://forums.raven-games.com/showthread.php?t=2617

From what I've read, I'd say that your crash is related to the autodetection feature in the updated sound system. I'd try this: run the game using 1.0 version and save its config file before installing 1.06 update, then overwrite default config file installed by update with previously saved one before running again the game. This will prevent it from trying to autodetect EAX and A3D.

Another typical issue is the OpenGL extensions string buffer overrun. In this case, a possible workaround would be running the game with 3dfx OpenGL renderer and use a good Glide-to-OpenGL wrapper (I highly recommend zeckensack's glide wrapper for that purpose). Odd setup, but should work fine.

If everything else fails, just play unpatched 1.0 version. You will miss some enhacements, but nothing really fancy unless you want to play online, which I don't think you could do anyway, as there won't be many servers still out there, I guess. Coop, the best thing in Heretic II, should be playable in 1.0 version.

update, i think its an issue with the length of the directory and files
because when i put the heretic 2 folder into C: it runs fine, but i get that error when its higher up in other directorys (program files)
weird but at least its working now
