Well I have now completed the game since I originally started this thread, and I am still listed as level 2All of my achievements, however, showed up the night that I beat the game so I guess that is a small condolence. Strangely enough I started a new character last night (made her from scratch as opposed to importing from the character creator like my Demlash character) and she has already updated. I wonder if that is one of the difficulties that the site is having is updating character creator character as opposed to completely new ones...
Mine isn't from the character creator.

Since my achievements are up to date I know that information is getting to the Bioware servers. The questions are:
-is all of my information reaching those servers?
-is the information garbled or formatted wrong?
-are the servers refusing to accept the non-achievement info?
-are the servers skipping updating any of my information save the achievements for some reason?
-is there a problem with the servers updating the character profiles
There are a few things left I could try on my end, but since so many people are having problems I seriously doubt that it is a "problem" on my end as much as a glitch that needs to be discovered and nailed down -
in any case, most of these options are ones I'd rather not do -
- play a different character and see if that one updates (I want to finish my current story first)
- create a new character w/o the character creator and see if it updates (same reservations as before)
- erase all the characters I have and start with a new one (ditto)
- uninstall and reinstall the game (broken record)
- reinstall Windows (the PC Tech's catch-all solution: is there a problem in your house somewhere, then burn it down and build a new one regardless of what the problem was!)

So what I did was changed the starting of the service from Manual to Automatic and restarted my computer. Once it restarted, I verified that the Service was running, started the game, logged in, then checked my Character Profile. Within a couple of minutes, my profile was fully updated.
If anyone is interested, I can try and write out more detailed instructions if you don't know how to check services or if there is any clarification that needs to be made.
BTW, I'm running XP with Dragon Age running through Steam (Digital Deluxe). If you have Win7 or Vista, I will not be able to help with checking services. I apologize.

I give up. It's really simple. Have a working character profile thing or not. Bioware does not have a working one. I think they only fixed some of the issues for PC users and left it at that.
not all of us...none of my PC characters show up at all.
nor do my xbox characters.
Achievements, however, do.

Well, as it stands now my new character is level 6 (I stopped playing like 5 hours ago) and it only shows her as level 2

I had the same problem with my character profile not updating. Taking the advice on a previous reply, I went to check and see if the Dragon Age Updater Service was running. It was not. I attempted to start it and was getting an error.

Hi AP I would be interested in knowing how to check and change the DA US? Dont need a bunch of detail, but I have XP also and am just not sure where to look. Thanks in advance.

But ...
I'll try anything so I just went and set mine from Manual to Automatic.
Seriously doubt it'll have an effect, but at least I can eliminate it as an issue.

Thanks for the hint AP -- my Updater Service was set to Manual and was not running. I set it to Automatic and restarted -- then started up DAO as far as the main menu. As soon as I got to the Forums site, my profiles had been updated. Hopefully, that will take care of it.

No characters at all and I'm stuck with a generic pic in the meantime.

The thing I have noticed though, is that Achievements are nearly instantly updated. I can get an achievement and within minutes or nearly instantly if I were to check my profile soon after, it will list it as unlocked.
"
Data is updated as frequently as possible - progress in-game may take up to an hour to appear here." is starting to seem a bit silly now. Anyways, if you want to make sure the Updater service is running, in both XP and Vista, run services.msc from the Start menu and there you can see if it is started or not. The service is needed for DLC content, so it's not a bad thing to have it running if you ever plan on getting some. I can highly recommend Warden's Keep and The Stone Prisoner (wich you should all have access too as it was included to my knowledge with every new purchase).Also, what is the point of the Share links to Facebook and Twitter, when to view a profile you need to be logged in at any rate? Not everyone is going to bother sign up just to view someone's character profile. Kinda limits it when you want to show how cool the game potentially is to your mate(s).
