This file will need to be re-applied if/when official 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.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in the Beta, FM Touch 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 2018 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. The latter 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. Due to licensing reasons, the number of Ajax non-playing staff is quite small and this file contains a fix to restore them. 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.

If you had already used previous versions of this download, you will need to delete the files named:

and
Susie Real Name Fixes - Ajax staff FM18_51792081-6A2F-4EF3-8781-F6D8D9E2A331.fmf
from within the editor data folder as they are no longer needed. Retaining them will see a duplicate complement for Ajax staff members.
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. The Japanese national team will be populated along the same lines too, but any Japan-based players are not in the official database and need a third-party add-on to be created and added.
Club names 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.

Try downloading this file. It's the correct one for sure, so if it doesn't work, it will inevitably be an issue at your end. Can you give me a screenshot of the location the downloaded file is in, if that's the case?
Thomas Alstrup
I'm using UnrarX instead of Winrar, but that shouldn't matter. I've never had problems like this before. I just downloaded the file you linked to in your message, and it's still a VLC file, but it has .rar. at the end..
mons
Then can you please try using Winrar to extract it? It's the program with which the file was created and will definitely work, unless you have changed some file permissions at your end.
Thomas Alstrup
Do you have a valid link for Winrar download?
mons
Here you go
Thomas Alstrup
Yeah I did that. It doesn't work.

I would like to see the facepack of the ajax staff. how can I solve that? someone could make ID and facepack match
Thanks
VP.
TheGodbold
I have looked and my Competition names are now correct but the team names are still 'RBL' and 'Gelschenkirchen' instead of correct names, however he has all correct names.
I have my game saved on an SSD whereas he does not. Is this an issue?
mons
Did you download this file and it didn't work?
mons
That's simply not possible. The Ajax staff added in this patch can't have faces as far as I know.
That'll be it, yes. Have you changed the user data folder on Steam so that the game can recognise files not in the default Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2018/ folder?
TheGodbold
I have yes, my facepacks and logos work and are basically saved in the same folder in my documents. So no idea, I just tried again but this time with FM on my Hard-drive and the same problem occured.
mons
Have you placed the editor data files in the right place? Can I see a screenshot of where they are please?
TheGodbold
I have fixed it, I made a small mistake all working now. Thanks for the reply!
b13v3r
in a future update of your file, could you change:
- name stadium OH Leuven: shoulp become "King Power at Den Dreef Stadion" not "Leuvens sportcentrum-Den dreef" "every language"
- for RSC anderlecht, they have a derby versus RWDM and WS Brussels: it should be "Brusselse derby" not "brussels derby". all other derbys have an "e" at the end. "every language"
- the old uefa cup, in game called "uefa cup winners' cup": in dutch it should be "UEFA Beker voor Bekerwinnaars". "dutch only"
mons
Stadium and competition name change have been added, thanks

Depends on what kind of database size you're running. Also, the file needs to be in place before starting a new game.
d4ky
The only way I can get it to work is if I load dutch leagues. So I guess it won't work without? Is there a way if so, to then get it to work without the need for dutch leagues?
mons
It's got nothing to do with what leagues you load but with the database size. If you have a small database size, the game probably assesses Dutch staff member and decides they shouldn't be loaded.
d4ky
its a large database with players of national rep added. (around 29,000)

I've loaded a new game quickly. If you scroll through the other Dutch clubs, they also have hardly any staff loaded. Could be that SI have made some changes under the hood to reduce staff loading in non-active leagues. Either way, there's not much I can do about it...
Then you're not installing it correctly. Can you post screenshots of where you're placing each respective file please?
robmoore_396 2
Installing it in the same location as all previous installs of the Real Names and German National Team Fix Files ..
mons
I'm 100% sure the file works if installed correctly. Since it's not working, then I'm afraid you must have done something wrong without realizing along the way.
If you can post those screenshots, perhaps I can spot where you went wrong...
robmoore_396 2
1. Deleted the 'dbc', 'inc', and 'edt' in the database folder and replaced with the ones from the Real Names download, as per usual.
2. Placed the Real Name Fix files in the Editor Data folder, as per usual
3. This worked with the FM2018 file uploaded prior to 11/11 - but today's version won't let my game launch from Steam. If i delete the installed files, Verify and install to default, it works!
mons
That all looks fine - can I see inside your dbc and your dbc/permanent folder please?
robmoore_396 2
Sure
https://ibb.co/eXqSHb
and

mons
Thought there might have been something wrong there, but no.
What about that Legends at Youth file? No idea what it is, but could you try loading a new game without it?
Also, what is the exact error message displayed?
robmoore_396 2
It's a database i'm making with legends @ 16 years old.
With regards to errors, there aren't any - double click on the game in Steam, says 'Running' - then goes to 'Syncing' as if syncing saved data, and .. that's it. It prevents the game from launching at all.
