Jan 23, 2011 17:17:26 Every time i try to make a new character on Character builder I get this message:

[SFxFaultExceptionToString3]
Arguments: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[WotC.ContentManagement.TooMuchScratchFault],The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason.,WotC.ContentManagement.TooMuchScratchFault
Debugging resource strings are unavailable. Often the key and arguments provide sufficient information to diagnose the problem. See go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=106663&V...

What does that mean? And has anyone had this problem? i've had it for two days.

I have not seen this sorry.

Are you going thru the main site and then launching the builder or trying to load the builder from a bookmark to Vecna?

Through the main site.

Just making sure that you were not getting the same error we all were getting when trying to access links from bookmarks.

I am not having this problem sorry. Of course I have had very few problems with the OCB since its release.

Are your operating system settings and browser settings set to English - US ? Just another thought

Jan 23, 2011 21:09:03 Yes. It used to work, and I had characters on it. I deleted them because I read somewhere that characters can get corrupted. It still won't work.

What operating system and what browser are you using?

I was just on there making some characters for a game this coming Saturday.

Jan 23, 2011 21:48:43 Try this:

Close out the browser and reopen it. Before going to the wizards site, clear your browser cache. Additionally (this may be overkill), I would run Disk Cleanup (or whatever the Mac equivalent is if you use that) and clean out your temporary internet programs folder as well as the temp folder. Then try goign to the Wizards site and opening the builder again.

Might try reinstalling silverlight

Also try a different browser. Whether or not it works there would be useful info for troubleshooting purposes.
