This file is intended for FM13.3, and will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are re-installed when patches come out.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1300 
AND
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1330 
MAC
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1300
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1330
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2013
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy the 30 files in the folder from step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

That UID points to a club which is extinct and no longer playable. I have removed it from my version of the file in anticipation of any future release.

The new club's UID is 23172080 and has the correct short name. I have amended its long name to what you are proposing.

FAO everybody, please note that entries in the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file which have a # before the entry are NOT read by the game. They are there only to guide people as to what changes were made in the Club Name Changes.dbc file.

There might be another update, but certainly not in the near future and not unless any major issues are uncovered, which is unlikely.

As explained already many times and also in the opening post, the changes by the editor data files will only take effect when starting a new game.

It's got nothing to do with these files, more likely it's something else you've downloaded.

Watch Magrippinho's video from the OP and ensure you've followed all the steps correctly.

It's got nothing to do with our file and is a limit that SI have imposed due to issues that were being caused when users were loading more players than their system could handle.

Got nothing to do with this pack, sorry. Perhaps it's an issue with the default SS kits?

Yes it does. If you applied the files in the middle of a save game, then the German national team will call up real players in the next instance that national squads are called up. If it's still not working, you've installed the files wrongly.

Check the SS kits forum for the right place to put the default kits without them crashing.

The text in this file can be displayed in any language supported by FM. Some people suggested some language changes earlier in the thread, but I don't know if they're working for them.

If you want me to change something into Italian, tell me the competition and its name in Italian and I'll see what I can do.

Mons,

I bought and installed FM 2013 today via Steam. I followed the specific instructions. Unfortunately, I just keep getting Jens Mustermann instead of Oliver Kahn etc. What is going wrong (yes I started a new game (over and over). I followed the instructions to the letter.

WHat could possible go wrong?

EDIT: found the problem! I copied the original files to another folder within the 1300 folder. Somehow FM got wind of this

Thanks!

If I delete other languages except english (Football Manager 2013\data\languages), then will the fixes work fine which you changes into other languages?

It's fine at my end. Have you downloaded any editor data files? It's probably caused by a mistake in one of them.

Yes, but nothing that should affect it. Anyway, can I fix it somehow?

It has affected it, I'm afraid.

The author of whichever editor data file you used changed the name manually and made a spelling mistake. Edited data always takes precedence over lnc files so the only way to fix it is to start a new game...
