I suggest everybody clicks the "Notify me when updated" button to receive an email when the file is updated/amended in the future.
This file will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released and when the full game comes out 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.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMT or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2017 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 and Japanese National teams don'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, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most 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 the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

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.

The Spanish club name issue is slightly different; please read the penultimate reply in this post for an explanation.

That issue is fixed. Please remember first to delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders, then put the ones from the download in the same folder. Merging does not work

I think their is a problem with the Brazil team names.
Everything was ok yesterday. Names were correct on my save (santos,corinthians etc). I saved the game and loaded the same save again but the the brazil names had gone back to Three letters. Santos - San
mons
Hmm. Can you check for me whether there is a file named Licensing2.dbc in either of \data\db\1700\dbc or \data\db\1701\dbc?
mightyred
Yes there is m8. This is happening to my save also. Its actually in the dbc files of both 1700 and 1701
mons
What is the date modified in its properties please? And when did you install the beta?
mightyred
The dates modified are 19/10. I installed the beta on release day (Tuesday if I am not mistaken).
Also, I have the following 3 extra files in my 1701 folder for some reason, that definatly werent there when I added the fix (I think, lol)
wicksyFM
date modified is 20/10/16
installed on 18/10/16
mons
It seems the beta updated itself at some point yesterday
I'll try and release a new beta version of this file soon then.
wicksyFM
check this out mons. some stuff about brazil kits and names
mightyred
Brilliant thanks. Although I spoke to a few peeps and theirs were fine. I did re--verify my cache after a crash I had which may have something to do with it maybe? Maybe why a few others are experiencing problems?? Just a thought
wicksyFM
i also had to re verify may cache after a crash
mons
Please note that the club names workaround will still have to be applied MANUALLY by all.
This file needs to be installed in all the folders within the installation folder \ data \ db path. You need to delete the existing dbc, edt and lnc folders in EACH of these folders, and replace them with the ones from this download. Merging/Overwriting them will not work.

So, i downloaded the last version. I've done everything right, i've started a new save, but somehow everything is the same as the last version. Spanish club names or german club names haven't changed.
Do you have any idea why?
Thanks again
esca

You need to manually change some things as per the first post.

I'd really have liked to have been able to issue a workable version as per my usual custom, but without the editor, it's just not possible
I've no idea whether anything's been changed, but SI have generally been good about modding and backward compatibility so I'm hopeful there've been no major changes yet.
Noted with thanks. Pity you didn't send it earlier as I'd certainly have included them in yesterday's release. But I'll certainly add them in the next version
mons
Download it and see for yourself

Just wondered about the media files? I have searched the new folders but can't see any media related files?
Was just interested to have a read through them.
thanks.

The beta doesn't currently "read" editor data files, so there's no point in me including them for now...
In SI's defence, it is a beta just yet, and I'm sure that editor data files will be working by the date of the full release.
Hmm, I'll investigate this. Thanks for the heads-up
