D&D Character Generator FULL Version is OUT!!!

I will get it when it will work under Linux.

I will get it when it will work on DOS.

Leaving the 'tude aside, you're right. I was thinking of trying to run it using CrossOver, which doesn't support .Net. Using VBox, I'd still need a full copy of Windows.

Unluckily yes. Using Virtualbox is just like using windows .

Wine (and crossover) are not going to support it for a long time, if ever. If we are lucky when wine support net 3.5 (at least on 2010) it will work, but if it doesn't... Character Builder is not going to be popular enough to expect a quick fix .

Anyway, sorry for the 'tude thing. I was probably too sharp.

For those who have the barrier of having a full Windows Licence ... just download the FREE Windows 7 Beta, the Character Builder works on it.

See, this is why I use Windows.

Sure, I bet I could get some really good stuff out of using Linux. But seeing as how 99% of everything uses Windows and probably about 40% of that is windows exclusive... I'll just keep my monopolized OS.

I'm running 32bit Vista and I"m having the same issue. "Files did not verify correctly.".

I've uninstalled the beta - reinstalled the new version (4 times now).
Installed it to different locations.
Run it as Admin.
Run it as "windows xp (service pack 2) compatibility mode
Run it as Admin AND xp compatibility mode together.

Nothing matters - always the same results - "Files did not verify correctly."

This is one big problem with the software, I finally got my system to work by starting the update {under admin rights}, getting the error.. then deleting 'CharBuilderFull.version' and the dll file that started with my user name {'Primitives.dll'}.
This I hit 'retry' and it worked like a charm.

Also, your username it asks for is your email address, not your DDI username... how silly is that.


Other issues I have run into, despite only messing with 1 character so far...

Two Weapon Fighting has a prereq of Dex 14 instead of Dex 13
Two Weapon Defense is a Paragon feat...


These issues concern me, but given the other stuff DDI has.. I think my money was well spent.

Two Weapon Fighting has a prereq of Dex 14 instead of Dex 13
Two Weapon Defense is a Paragon feat...

Neither of these are true as far as I can tell. Amongst the many PCs I have built for fun is a 13 dex ranger in scale armor and these are his level 2 and 4 feats.

Are you sure your verson is really up to date?

By far my main issue so far is the Power cards. Almost every PC I ave built has one or more power card screwed by inexplicably huge font on the letters.

 

[Primitive Screwhead]

Hmm.. thats really odd.
I just tested making a new level 1 Ranger and was able to select both TWF and TWD.... but in my original character, level 11 Ranger, I cannot select TWF unless I have a DEX of 14 and cannot select TWD except at 11th level.

The original was started in the Beta version, perhaps thats the problem.

Anyone having printing problems with this app? When I try and print with any Lexmark printer it cuts off the right side.

I haven't been able to get landscape printing to work, but portrait printing hasn't given me any trouble.

You could try printing to PDF (using CutePDF or similar) and then printing that, instead of straight to printer from the Builder.

Ya .pdf is worth a try.
