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.

I used it with and without a data transfer update..same result

Changing editor data files in the middle of a save game makes no difference whatsoever, so unless you are starting a new game, the above changes you are undertaking are irrelevant in that context.
You say "No league stats from the swiss raiffeisen super league..I don't play the swiss league but I loan players sometimes there and now it's like the league doesn't exist.." - what does that mean exactly? It's not clear whether you're referring to clubs not existing, players not appearing etc.
m1k3
I was reffering to the games played by the players in the swiss league (when you hit History on a player it shows stats like appearances, goals, etc)..in every league it shows this except the swiss league
mons
That's strange. And this is for all players in all teams? Could be a bug in FM itself tbh.
m1k3
Yeah..only for the players from the swiss league...Could be a bug in FM..but it's strange that after a month from the update no one's noticed it...
mons
Sorry I can't be of more assistance, perhaps you may have more luck posting in the bugs section of the official forum to see if it's a known issue.
m1k3
Posted on the official forum..it seems they're aware of this bug...
The only "solution" for this i found is when starting a new game to add the swiss league and change the mode to view only..
mons
Hmm, that's news to me. I'll keep it mind for my own future saves

If you verified integrity of game cache, you recreated some files which were deleted when installing this update. You need to re-apply this download. This may not solve the Brazilian club name issue in this save game, though, I'm afraid, but it's best to have it in place for when/if you start another save.

I will have to check to be sure, but youth leagues are not included in the default game database and therefore can't be changed through lnc files. I stand to be corrected, however.

Those were the official names of Real Sociedad in the FM16 database; I copied them over and have no plans to change them for now...

Players contracted to Japanese clubs are not in the game for licensing reasons. The only way to get Japanese players in the game is to download an editor data file, such as this.

library folder> application support> there is no steam folder
And I have the game installed and running....
Thanks
mons
Use the search function and look for files with the extension .lnc or for folders named Football Manager 2017. The game must be installed somewhere, so it's just a case of finding where it is installed.
mariano
Thanks, but can't find it...
and there are no db folders...
mons
I don't have a Mac, I'm afraid, so can't really offer any practical help.
Try looking for the Steam installation folder.

Any advice?
Thank you!

Make sure you delete the old dbc folders (not merge, not copy contents, but delete) and put the folder from this download instead.
MooshiPirpy14
Ah! Now it works, thank you for the quick response and the help!

When I try to put the name of the club that I want, sometimes it doesn't work. When I replace PSG by Paris, it works. When I replace UCAM by Murcia, it doesn't. It's strange because I do everything perfectly, I change the club short name and the club long name.
Any advice please ?
Thanks.
mons
Where and how exactly are you changing the club names?
