Neither. Download the source code and build it yourself with codeblocks. You’ll have an easier time with bugs and errors, as well as having the benefits of the truly latest build.

go here and download and install codeblocks with everything (make sure everything is installed!)

[http://www.codeblocks.org/](http://www.codeblocks.org/)

Then download this (it is the latest repo):

[https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/archive/master.zip)

Finally, after you install codeblocks, unzip the repo into a folder and open up CataclysmWin. Once open, click build-\>build, wait for the build to complete, and in your repo folder should be a brand new cataclysm.exe.

You can also modify the code in the various .cpp and .h files and build it again if you want to give adding new features a whirl.

_Edit: Good catch. I’m still used to just using the quick link._

That’s the wrong link (it’s still pointing at the old repository).
