Feb 20, 2009 21:15:40 I'm reading this page:

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/insidernews/20090219

and it's claiming a update to the Character Builder data set. When I launch the Character Builder, I see "Up to date!" yet when I launch it I do not have the changes mentioned in the article.

Anyone have any insight on this?

I had the same problem as the OP because the article DOES read as if the updates have already been done.

Ah.

Same here. I even went so far as to uninstall, download it again, and reinstall, because I thought maybe there was a glitch. Then I searched the site twice to make sure there wasn't some manual way to update that I had missed.

Feb 22, 2009 5:45:31 It updates on Tuesday in the US.

Which will probably be around midday in the UK, if the usual update scheduel is followed.

Feb 22, 2009 12:19:28 My Character Builder won't accept my password to update the program I just downloaded.

Why doesn't WOTC release an already updated version?

I so far have loved the 4th edition but all the lost password/accounts issues I have had with this website really make me wary.

WotC should have never announced the DDI until it was ready to release.

It just looks bad to make a promise of a product and still not have it all ready some 6 months later.

I don't have log in issues with Character Builder program, but I do have issues with logging in to the WotC site. The one time I reported the error, the response was to blame it on my browser. So I adjusted the settings, nothing changed. I even installed another browser and used it (Google Chrome, which I'm using now) but still have the same issues. I have to click on the login button two, sometimes three times before it will finally show I am logged in.

mudbunny, thanks for asking "DM" to mention the date in the article. It would prevent some confusion for others in the future. For those of us this time, I doubt we forget.

I found that I had to use my email address instead of the username when i tried to update.
