Hi all, I need some help with loading the graphics on to FM17! So, my D drive is choc-a-block, so Steam has downloaded FM onto my E: drive, so my logical thinking suggests that if use a 'Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2017 > Graphics' folder on the E: drive, it should load the graphics, right?

WRONG! I've unpacked the zip files like I normally would, just on a different drive but for some reason they just won't load onto the game, any ideas as to why?

Much appreciated

It's not quite as simple as that, I'm afraid.

To change the user data folder, you need to follow the steps outlined in this thread. Though it may look complicated, it's really only half a minute's work and it works perfectly fine

I'm still struggling, Mons. I've followed the guide, changed the launch folder, merged all my folders and got everything in the right place - as far as i can tell - and the graphics still won't load

any further advice?

Hmmm.

Can I see screenshots of
a) your user data folder
b) the launch options screen on Steam wherein you fixed it?

Also, by "not working", what exactly do you mean? Is there an empty space, is there a default logo displaying? Perhaps a screenshot showing the issue could help too.

So this is my data folder & launch info. The graphics folder has a face & badge pack but the game is only displaying the default logos. Hope this helps!

Can I also see the launch options on your Steam? The below, basically. Have you changed it accordingly?

The downloaded graphics are not loading on to the game. I'm stuck with the default logos and blacked-out faces still atm!
