Much appreciated, updated in AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/scrabble3d/)

I did not want to give up that easily (don't want to use wine and qt4 is seriously outdated). Thus I deployed ubuntu xenial using vagrant and after some minutes I was able to compile the latest Scrabble3D from subversion. Copied over the x86_64 binary and voila.. joker no longer crashes. If I send you the binary, will be so kind and publish it as a patch next to 32bit one? That would allow me to make a fix in Arch's AUR repository. Thank you, jose

Oh, that's rather sad :-(

Anyway I did try the hotfix. After extraction I realized that this only contains 32-bit fixed binary and that there is no binary for x86_64. Looks like playing w/o jokers (as suggested by bluesscream) is the only way how to play the game on a current 64-bit Linux system.

hello, sorry for English but my written/spoken Deutsch is terrible. i could see that the bug is fixed in freepascal. yet, the bug is still present in scrabble3d. can you please update? thanks! jose

damn, you're right. i terribly misread that rules section. you want to fix that or should i do that (hopefully will find some time this weekend)? anyway it's great to see a user from slovakia here finally. jose

yes, i checked it in the past and it is fully valid

hi scotty, digraphs are not really interesting from scrabble point of view. yes, they exist but it does not change the way how words are calculated or composed..

ok, my bad. anyway, i downloaded ver. 3.1.0 (patch 26g, Test-Scrabble3D-i386.tar.gz) and have already been able to reproduce crash during initial letter placement. also, many times the buttons are just unresponsive. ubuntu 12.04 has been installed directly from cd (no patches downloaded). i will do some more tests.

i will try to test scrabble3d in ubuntu 12.04 to see if i still experience the issue

yes, i compiled the sources. this allowed me to get debug build which should help scotty with finding the culprit.
