I hate to say it, but you probably have to delete them and rebuild them from scratch.

so i exported it, deleted it and tried to reimport and it just freezes with screen dimmed saying 'done' in the corner without importing it

Try rebuilding it from scratch.  Are you working from a character built in the old (classic) CB and then imported?

Assuming you have a paper copy, a re-build only takes five or ten minutes or so.  Not too bad, really, though you shouldn't have to, of course..

I understand your point.  Unfortunately, importing has some flaws, so rebuilding from scratch is the only real answer if the import does not work properly.

Yes, that sucks, but that's the way it is.

Who knows?  Maybe that will be fixed today.   It could happen.

Some older characters crash the builder. It's clear that they rearranged some of the data in order to add the export function on last release. Perhaps they will have fixed the issue with the release today? Otherwise, you're going to have to rebuild it so that the data is in the correct format. Sorry.

The only thing clear to me is that they don't really know what they are doing...

guess what i was just  (ten minutes ago) building a pc (not imported from the old one) and it still freaking froze out when i was selecting feats. it recovered the pc but by that time i just said screw it, i dont want to work on it anymore. it makes me not want to build pcs

According to the update doc, it got fixed. You want to confirm? (I haven't been able to replicate the issue).
