I own the new PHB and have the highest tier sub. I can read the new book but when I went to test the character creator it only shows 4 classes. Where are the rest of them?
I had this issue as well. I had to sync my entitlements using the instructions in the original post.
I prepurchased the 2024 PHB. When I go to Sources at the top of the screen, it's not showing at all. I have to go to All Sources and search for it to access it.
When will the 2024 PHB show on the Sources dropdown menu?
Same issue on my paladin build. I could select the fighting style feat but no way to add it to the character on the Class page or any subsequent pages. Had to go to the fully built page and add the specific on as a custom feat.

Go to the first page of the forum and scroll down where it says to sync your entitlements. Resync them and it should show up.
They should have put that at the top of the long forum post
The Dual Weilder feat isn't showing up as a option for characters with only a dexterity score of 13+. As of right now it's only showing up as an option for characters with a strength score of 13+
Love the new updates! These are the bugs I have seen so far.
I made a warlock (level 20, Great Old One if its relevant). All the GOO spells (Dissonant Whispers, Tashas Hideous Laughter, etc) are appearing as 'At Will' in the spell list, even though they should use a spell slot. I did the same thing with Fiend patron and the Fiend Spells are at will as well.
They also have the Pact of the Chain and Pact of the Blade eldritch invocations, but Investment of the Chain Master and Lifedrinker are not available to be added, so there seems to be something going wrong with the prerequisites there.
When selecting the Level 6 Spell Mystic Arcanum, all Warlock spells appear in the dropdown instead of only level 6 ones. This is only an issue with the level 6 Mystic Arcanum - the level 7, 8 and 9 ones are fine.
If you have an Epic Boon Feat, you are able to go back to previous feats, switch them to ASIs and keep putting points into the chosen ability score above 20, even though the description of ASI states that you cant use them to go above 20.
When in the Equipment tab and choosing Equipment or Gold to start, if you choose gold the dropdown says 'nulldnull' and you cant add gold.
When I make a weapon into a Pact Weapon, it makes the character proficient (adds proficiency bonus to the attack rolls) but still uses STR/DEX instead of CHA even though CHA is the higher stat.
The Lessons of the First Ones, Agonizing Blast and other repeatable eldritch invocations can't be selected more than once.
Public Mod Note
(spamandtuna):
Warlock spells and equipment are fixed. The Epic Boon issue is not a supported use case.
Can't take the Elemental Adept feat despite being high enough level and having the Spellcasting feature.
As others have noted, I can choose to take a Fighting Style but no dropdown is presented to choose which Fighting Style Feat.
I am using a Legacy Race and a 2024 Background and it lets me double up on ability score bonuses (chooses them both in the Background and the Abilities dialog).
Oath spells do not appear automatically as known (I am using a legacy subclass).
Divine Smith shows up in the spell list to be chosen even though it is always prepared.
Public Mod Note
(spamandtuna):
The first three are fixed
Many feats with prerequisites are not properly detecting when a character has the requirements met for it, and thus cannot be chosen. AKA: Warcaster on a warlock, Dual Wielder requiring 13 STR only, etc.
Seems really awkward that some things which were unchanged in the 2024 PHB, such as eldritch smite, are suddenly no longer supported, here's hoping these are fixed soon.
The 2024 Core Rulebooks introduce new and exciting updates to the fifth edition ruleset, and we want to give players a free and accessible way to experience them.
To celebrate early access to the digital 2024 Player’s Handbook for Master Tier subscribers, we’re also giving registered users a sneak peek into the D&D Free Rules (2024) by granting access to four base classes (Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, and Wizard), spells, and one subclass for each of these classes. These free materials are available under the Sources tab on D&D Beyond. The D&D Free Rules (2024) will be further expanded on September 17 to include the remaining core classes.
If you don’t see any of the content from the book (preorder bonuses or otherwise), please be sure to resync your entitlements. You can do so by following these steps:
I had this issue as well. I had to sync my entitlements using the instructions in the original post.
When selecting the Human(Legacy) it is not applying the +1 to all stats.
The Spell Sniper feat (2024) seems to be unavailable. Not sure if this is across all characters or just warlocks.
I have master teir and dont have access to the content either.
Draconic Sorcery is currently missing the 'always prepared' spells from the Level 3 Draconic Spells subclass feature.
I prepurchased the 2024 PHB. When I go to Sources at the top of the screen, it's not showing at all. I have to go to All Sources and search for it to access it.
When will the 2024 PHB show on the Sources dropdown menu?
Do you get the background stats? I believe a 5.5 character using a 5.0 race is not intended to get the racial stat bonuses.
This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.

Possible error found making my first 2024 Warlock when choosing ability scores in the Background section:
This offers +1 to 3 stats: STR, DEX, CHA
After Choosing that +1 to 3 stats it says DEX, CON and INT.
When you go through to the 'Abilities' section it's given +1 to STR, DEX and CHA before asking me to choose which stats to boost again:
Somewhat confusing (I expect a small backend error?) - unsure on choosing abilities a second time though.

The goliath's powerful build feature (gives advantage to end the grappled condition) is marking *all* my character's skills as having advantage.
I was under the impression we would get them all as well, but just saw this on the changelog ( https://www.dndbeyond.com//changelog#FrequentlyAskedQuestions ):
