It is not possible to download test versions with the autoupdater of Scrabble3D. Only official Patches can be downloaded by updating the program within Scrabble3D (Menu Configuration > Settings > Options --> Button "Check now"). Test versions are not integrated in the autoupdating system.


To get a test version you have to go on this Sourceforge.net site:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/scrabble/?source=dlp -->
--> Files http://sourceforge.net/projects/scrabble.../?source=navbar -->
--> Main Program http://sourceforge.net/projects/scrabble/files/Main_Program/ -->
--> Test http://sourceforge.net/projects/scrabble...n_Program/Test/


When you arrived on the last site, you have to choose the right version for your OS:

• Test-Scrabble3D-win64.zip - Windows 64bit: Windows 7, Windows Vista
• Test-Scrabble3D-win32.zip - Windows 32bit: Windows XP; but Win32bit works even with Windows Vista, Windows 7
• Test-Scrabble3D-x86_64-qt.tar.gz - Linux with KDE
• Test-Scrabble3D-x86_64.tar.gz - Linux 64bit Debian and RPM
• Test-Scrabble3D-i386.tar.gz - Linux 32bit


I recommend you to create a new folder on your computer, call it maybe Scrabble3D test versions. In that folder you could create a subfolder 2012-12-07. Unzip the downloaded test version into that folder and start the test version of Scrabble3D from that folder (not from Start > Programs in Windows).
