To fix the shirt numbers then download the font folder in my earlier post. (page 5)
The black boards is not really something I can help with although...
If you use or have used another pack along with this pack then please delete all traces of it before installing, this worked for me regarding black boards.

Not sure how it is a bug. It is working for me and plenty of others. Do the SI boards load if you remove all the video ad board files?

It is a bug and SI are investigating it, the video adboards themselves work fine the issue is when a club has no video adboards instead of loading static adboards around the pitch as they did in FM17 the game just loads 'dead' video adboards, hence many people having an issue with 'black video adboards'

Well checked everything is where it should be and it is, can't get the adboards to show now just get, green and white boards

This is not an issue that has appeared before, can you provide a screenshot?

Do you have same issue using 'club adboards xml'? I also expect you have not installed the patch correctly check the FAQ on page 1

Where do I have to put the three font files?
I'm using a Mac.

- Directly inside the simatchviewer_uncompressed folder as three separate files?
- In a subfolder fonts in simatchviewer_uncompressed ?

I've found something that can help. I also had black ads. When I set up the settings that are recommended for this computer, ads are working normally, but the picture is adjusted to that setting. As soon as I set my own settings to make the image run smoothly, the reals are now black. It's definitely a bug SI and it should fix it quickly, I'm pretty disgusted this year. The game is very busy and it is unacceptable to play this full game.

I have 5 stars of the video card rating, and it's the same with the recommended settings. When I put the adboard patch and the font patch, the numbers for the players are, but again the static adboards are empty. Dynamic adboards work.

When I join the match with the recommended settings, dynamic adboards work. But when I change the settings on my own, they still work, but only one or two ads are repeated.

I'm glad this is gettin gout. The adboard patch initially messed up my game so I deleted an re-installed. Most everything worked fine after re-install, but I did lose the name/condition of my players. I will install the patch Daz put out there tonight. Really need the name/condition. I had sent a bug report to SI about the graphics and players turning black/invisible. I have two high end graphics cards and can only run the game at medium settings to see things.

Does happen with all matches? Also does this happen when viewing a game for the first time or when rewatching highlights?

Try different graphic settings in FM preferences, if it was working before playing about with these then one these settings must be causing the issue

Just wanting to post to say that the patch DazS8 put out for the condition/names totally worked for me. Now I want to try and use the ad boards on my FM18 save. Will try to remove any other ad board folders I have. I know I used someone's graphic patch that also included some adboards for their website. That probably created some conflicts for me.

There is no errors in the xml file, it must be from another download or you must have edited the xml file. If there was an error within the xml file then that message would appear for every person using this patch...
