You need to copy and overwrite the faces and the new config file from the update pack into the faces folder.
If done correctly, you should be asked if you want to overwrite files – accept. You should have one folder for faces and another folder for iconfaces, and no sub-folder whatsoever in them.
These steps are to be repeated for every update pack downloaded, and they are to be installed chronologically.

It's a known issue with FM26 - read this. We're assuming this issue will get resolved in upcoming official patches/updates.
The new players were added before FM26 was released and didn't have the right UID yet. We've started the process of mapping them to the correct person's UID.
When you have a blank space instead of a cut-out, it means there is a config file pointing to a folder in which an image with that UID is not present. This generally happens when an update pack is installed in a separate folder and not part of the overall faces folder, or there is a rogue config file somewhere. It could also be that you have somehow not downloaded the full megapack but only part of it. Search within the graphics folder for the UID of this person, and you will probably find the secondary image. Delete that folder, and it should be fine.
Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.
Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.
In line with guidance on the official SI forums, At present, FM26 cannot handle multiple files with the same name. For example, if you have two files with the name "kit.png", it will not load both. and Player Faces: These work fine. You do not need the icon files anymore, and they can cause issues with the note above. Delete them.
As a result, the iconfaces are no longer available for download because they're not needed. You should also delete the iconfaces folder manually from your system too 👍

You need to change your user data location. Simple steps on how to do so can be found here.
It is recommended that the user data location is not placed within the Steam installation folder as this may cause issues.

The torrent file includes the base megapack uploaded just before that year’s FM version is released. Any and all subsequent update packs are to be downloaded separately.
For those who have never used torrents, in the vast majority of cases, it's just a question of downloading the client program (a small file, less than 1MB) and then downloading the megapack torrent file (a tiny file, around 20k) and then letting the program do the job.
Torrent files need a torrent client to be downloaded. I personally use µTorrent but other common clients are BitTorrent, Vuze and Deluge. For those using torrents for the first time, here is a general walk-through on how to download torrents and a specific guide for µTorrent.
Be aware that it will take a substantial amount of time to download the file due to its sheer size and that other people depend on you hosting the file to get it so please leave your torrent client on after you have fully downloaded it. The etiquette is generally accepted to be to upload as much as you download, although this might not always be possible. The older the torrent file, the less likely it is that there will still be users seeding it.

Please report this so that they can be reuploaded. Since the files are hosted outside our pages, there isn't much we can do about this unfortunately. You could try downloading the pack via torrent and get it this way.
Extracting the file will take a while, but it shouldn't take the hours and hours that the program extracting will sometimes say it will. To speed it up, it is recommended that you have as few programs running as possible so that the system can dedicate as many resources to the extraction as it possibly can.
Secondly, for files as large as this, the calculation of the extraction time will be wildly incorrect at the start. After a while, it'll show a more realistic timeframe, which shouldn't be more than an hour or two if you have a good setup and few programs running at the same time.

You might have a poor internet connection or your browser might have some extensions which interrupt this download. Having loads of downloads ongoing and/or streaming may also de-prioritise this download.
Try using Google Chrome in incognito mode (or the equivalent mode for other browsers) and you should be able to resume the download from the point it was interrupted, if that happens.

The most recent update pack will include the most recent config file, so you can choose to download it and use it from there.
Alternatively, you can download fmXML and generate a config yourself. There's a video on YouTube on how to use it but it's really easy and the instructions are quite straight-forward.

Down the years, after an update pack was released, it was noted that some images included therein where of the wrong person, with a wrong extension or duplicated. Due to the way the download system is structured, these cannot be removed from the download, so there may well be a couple of hundred images’ worth of difference, depending on the version you download.
Our megapack covers 25,000 teams and it's impossible to cater for these kind of requests since players and staff get transferred or sacked or retire etc and recreating and reuploading 25,000 different smaller packs would be an impossible task. That's why we have all the images in a megapack so that everything is captured therein.
These persons do not appear in the default database for licensing reasons. This means that they only appear in your save-game because they were added via a custom file, generally the real name fix file. However, this means that their UID (which is what is used to map a person's image to the right individual) is different, and so the game cannot assign the image to them from your existing facepack.
To get them to show, you should individually download any previously available cut-out faces from here (or use the UID to find them in your existing facepack if you don't use the cut-out megapack), put them in a separate folder to your existing facepack and create a config file just for them using the method outlined in here (which works for all facepack styles, not just the cut-out megapack).

It's a licensing issue. Download this file (or the equivalent for your version of FM) to resolve it.

I downloaded the Megapack 5.0 using Jzip and I put the folder into C:/Users/Alfie/My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2013/Graphics/Facepacks but this didn't work.
I then read the ReadMe with the megapack and it said you need to move the actual images instead of the folder so i tried to do this with Jzip but it came with an unsupported compression method error. the message has come up for each image. the config file is there and the total amount of images is there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mons
I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Could we have a screenshot of your current MP folder?
Please try extracting the file with winrar instead of Jzip in the meantime.

Download winrar. The process of extracting images is almost the same as with Jzip.
mons
I'm afraid that I've no idea what the problem is as the file is not related to our megapack. Sorry.

Click the button named 'Change' beside the field titled 'Opens With:'
Hopefully Winrar will be there, and all future rar files will be opened with it.

I now but for megapack from that theard problem is that same so I think maybe someone make a proper 200x200 mod for this megapack?
suss1690
firstly, thanks for your great work again, the facepack makes the game!
Have looked on here, but cant find an answer to my problem.
I downloaded Megapack 5.0 unzipped it into the correct file and everything was working fine - all faces were visible.
I then last night downloaded and unzipped the 5.01 update into the "megapack 5.0" folder.
Also this evening as i started my game, I noticed FM is automatically updating on steam.
Now my problem - absolutely no faces are visible. I only have "reload skin on conformation" ticked and have also reloaded skin
but still no faces, any ideas??
I have 116,550 images in the folder, which I see should be 118,000 or so, so have i done something wrong to remove the faces when unzipping
the 5.01 update?
I used 7zip to unzip files also
Thanks for your help
mons
suss1690
No I unzipped the 5.01 update into C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\graphics\Megapack 5.0
It was after i done this the problem seems to have happed as until this evening i had not reloaded the skin

I wanted to alert you to a strange bug which I traced directly back to the face pack. It's in FMC mode and causes all of the stat names to become white, meaning it's impossible to see since the background is also white. The weird thing is that it won't go away, even after getting rid of the pack and deleting the cache. I used pack 5.0; going to update to 5.1 momentarily.
I took it to the SI forums. More details can be found there.

Mons, I've got it sorted - as you said, the images were within a folder called sortitoutsi in the "megapack 5.0" folder after i extracted, strange, however now working.
Thanks very much for your help!

Reading that thread, it seems you've resolved that it's an issue with the Steklo skin rather than our pack...
Brocktoon
Yep, was just coming to clarify that it was isolated to that. Really sorry about that if it sent you guys into a panic. That's my fault.

as many of you I have pb with the megapack. it does not work at all
folder: ...documents/sports interactive/fm13/graphics/faces
faces = 118.337 files (I had errors when unzipping but at the end I passed on)
config.xml = 8,18MB
only "reload skins when....." is ticked.
I restarted the game but the faces are all black (as the first time I have loaded the game)
any ideas?
thx in advance
Mullen18
Do you have any other facepacks ? maybe they are conflicting
You've unticked use caching too ? maybe try clearing the cache
ekatanos
thx for your reply.
I have no other facepacks.
yes I unticked use caching too (I think I have followed the instructions normally)
I will try cleaning the cache, I did not do it because I was afraid to make bigger mistake.
now I am re-installing the game... who knows?
I keep u informed
thx for all
Rowan
I would download directly to your desktop and move it over once download is complete...
stevenliuzhe
Did exactly what have been instructed: tick reload skin and un-tick the one above reload skin
I got some faces like Buttner, Jack Butland. But most players have no faces at all. Please help me.
