This file 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 automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 15 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These are fully save-game compatible.
There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for German, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with 26 media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all these files to work, however, you will need to start a new game.
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, although of course you use the equivalent folder for FM15.
Or, you can follow the below instructions to install v2.0 of this file (if you are installing a previous version please use the 1500 folder instead of the 1530 folder:
Step 1: Go to
PC
Slightly more detail in this post
Linux
Step 2: Delete the edt and lnc folders from the folder above
Step 3: Copy the edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.
Step 4: Go to:
Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and select the folder named "FM15 Real Names Fix Files from sortitoutsi.net v2.0".
Step 7: Paste the circled folder directly into the folder mentioned in step 5.
Step 8: This should be what your editor data folder looks like. There may also be a config.xml file in this folder and can be safely retained; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, 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. Club names (including the German ones) are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.
Some of these changes may not apply in FMC...

I did initially, but I started a new game after that, CL and EL are both fine, but as i'm doing an international save it ruins the experience a bit

can you help me please?

How (if at all) does this affect Online Mode? For example would there be a conflict if one player had the German national team fix and another didn't, and real life players were called up?
Haven't played Online Mode in any FM before so if it doesn't affect online play that'd be grand

This year's FM appears to operate a little differently at save game startup with national teams and afaik has nothing to do with this download. Until teams are called up, the squad remains empty. In this case, perhaps Cameroon don't have fixtures for the time being in your save game.
This file does not have any logos included in it and nowhere does it imply it does. My screenshots include logos because, well, I have them in my FM. I recommend kremmen's Metallic Logos, but there are a number of other logo packs on our site which you may wish to download.
The name change of the Champions League and the Europa League does not need a new save game to be started in order to take effect
This issue is related to pirated versions of the game, generally. Can you show us this is not the case?
I would definitely recommend that all users playing the game have the same game setup as much as possible, and not just in terms of this file. I haven't played the game online for a while so I don't really feel well-placed to comment, however...
Thanks for this

Are you running an original version of the game?

Has a new German squad been called up since you applied this file? If not, wait for it and the team should be populated with real players.
If the Champions League and Europa League names are the correct ones, then you shouldn't have any problems since the German national team is fixed in the same file as the European competition names.

So i have to create a folder named therein, and then place ["FM15 Real Names Fix Files from sortitoutsi.net BETA version"] there?
Captain
Go to:
documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2015
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" . If it does not exist, then create it.

Mons, i'm not rushing you but will you be updating the file before release this week? This is a must have before I start my new game (on 15.1 database/patch)
Thanks again for creating something (with all the stress) which we all rely on

One question though: I'm currently playing a save game in the second german division. Apart from correct names I still see fake names like Munich Lions. Any thoughts on that?
mons
Once should have been enough, so it's clear you applied them wrongly.
Can you give me a screenshot of your lnc and editor data folder please?
I prefer to release it immediately after the game is released so that I can test the files and ensure that they do actually work as intended, rather than having to patch things afterwards...
Nope, and neither will your account after this post.
Please read the instructions at the top of this thread and in the download file.
There is a workaround for this issue, in the very first post of this thread.

I'm quite sure I followed the intructions correctly. I just found out that the issue only appears when I play FMC. As the normal game mode is fine I assume I installed the files correctly. Any solution on this or did I do something wrong at the end?
mons
I'm afraid the dbc files do not work with FMC due to the nature of the game version
As a workaround, I suggest you do the workaround mentioned in the opening post, which is save game compatible.

I'm sorry, I don't have a Mac
Do a search for how to find Steam folders on your OSX, I'm sure Google will help
