Same with me. Cannot join a campaign. "There was a problem joining the campaign with that character." is the message I get.
Things I have checked out:
- The campaign is not full. - The link is correct and others have used it. - I am new and thus not in any other campaign. - I tried to copy the character and then join the clone in the campaign, but that did not work either. - I tried the "copy link and then paste in browser" workaround suggested previously, but that did not work either.
Hi i found a fix that worked for me. whenever you click the link and it has create new character and the list of characters which is greyed out (which is what it looks like for me) you can either click on another character and it will take you to another screen where you can then add your character. or if you click on the Dnd Beyond logo it will take you to the main site click the 3 tabs on the top right and then you can go to ’my characters’
Ya, my friend can't join and he created two accounts but both he couldn't click on. It showed a red circle with a slash in it and he couldn't click on his character. Any help?

How many players are already in the campaign? what is it your player can’t click on?
where precisely does he see the circle with a slash?
Clearly this is a significant issue affecting several people with no viable solution presented by anyone in the company. Time to ask for my money back?
I thought this was going to be a convenient way to move on from the paper route. Nope. Just hours of frustration with multiple accounts glitching out. I’ve dropped some serious money on this app. Not sure why at this point.
This is an old thread. There has been a significant issue with this that has occurred over the last few days. The temporary solution discover was to make a copy of the character. Given that the specifics were narrowed down by volunteers (most notably naruhoodie) over the weekend, staff may not have had a chance to address it yet.
As a campaign creator I am able to make unassisted characters but the players can not choose them and none of the new character I make appear when I or any other players try to join the campaign.
The original issue—reported in 2017–was resolved, per post #4 by the OP. The most recent issues (2022) with adding characters have not been resolved and have been discussed in several other (new) threads as well.
I'm having a similar issue, I click on the link, select my character, click on "join with this character" and instead of moving forward, the message "There was a problem joining the campaign with that character." shows on screen.
I am certain that my character is not a part of another campaign and is sheet-ready.

My friend is having the same issue. What else can be tried?
Open up an incognito browser and try it then. I think it's to do with cookies or something.

Same as some earlier posts: click COPY for the character in Character Creator and join with Copy of ... Character

It doesn’t matter. Your product doesn’t work.

I’m confused… has this issue been “resolved”?

I figured out that if you copy the character, it lets you join. I think that the system thinks the character is already taken.

what do I do? I don't see any fix here
What is the character’s name?
