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.

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.

Looks like you're not installing them in the right place then. Can I have screenshots of where you're placing them?
Casian
mons
Clearly, you didn't install it right. Can you post screenshots of the folders where you installed it?
Calan10
Thanks for the reply, here are my screenshots
mons
All looks fine, but I'd have to see inside the 1810/lnc folder to be sure. What's the exact issue in-game then?
Calan10
Yes please have a look, and the exact issue, is the game crashes on the very first initial loading screen where the music starts to play
mons
Have you tried not running any graphics at all?
I don't think your issue has got anything at all to do with this pack but to where you're installing the graphics...
mons
Calan10
Sorry if i seem like a noob, but the only thing different i see from the screenshot are the "all and greek" folders, do I need to delete them??
mons
Yes, but also check your dbc and edt folders as well and delete the items in your folders which are not in the respective screenshots.
Calan10
Actually I think you are right about the graphics, I think those may be the real problem, could you please have a look to see if I did anything wrong??
mons
Everything looks fine. Try removing them and see if FM loads normally. If it does, try adding the folders again one-by-one and see if the game loads then.
Calan10
You were right mons, the problem are the graphics i removed them and loaded the game with the real names fix files and it worked.. game went past the loading screen perfectly, you think this graphics problem has anything to do with the new format that SI change from FM 17??
mons
I can't really tell as I have no idea what graphics you have downloaded, where from and how you have installed them. Like I said, to identify which item(s) are the ones giving you trouble, try adding each folders again one-by-one and see if the game loads then.
Calan10
I have downloaded all of them from this same site, I downloaded the cut player face mega pack and the standard kits and the 3d kits graphics are the ones from chris, I tried installing them one by one and it didnt work game still crashes..
mons
Sorry mate, don't know what I can tell you...
Calan10
No problem mons I will keep investigating, at least now I have the correct names thanks to you

KAEDE AK.
I found that CSL's team - Beijing Guo'an. Its full name is still Beijing Guo'an LeEco. (In Chinese is 北京国安乐视).But in Jan.4, 2017, Beijing Guo'an has changed it full name as Beijing Sinbo Guo'an F.C. (In Chinses is 北京中赫国安)
And here is the Wiki's page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing_Sinobo_Guoan_F.C.
Thanks again for your work!
mons
Thanks - I'll change it in the next version
burc ugur
mons
I believe this is the case in the default SI database, which is why I didn't edit it. I'll have to check again as I'm at work and can't look right now...
Tommy Hughes
As A11_Smithy commented on the FMC/FMT Stadium Superpack for FM17 section, Salford's Moor Lane, after the refurbishment, is now called The Peninsula Stadium. Its ID is still the same: 7940028.
(My apologies if the change has already been made to the Real Names Fix, I had no way of checking it currently.)

I believe FOOTBALL MANAGER 2018 -- UPDATE 18.1.3 is up and running now. When will you be updating the file?
mons
It's 18.2.0, actually
I should be home in around an hour and I'll release a new version if necessary
d4ky
18.2 is the newest FM version
mons
Beat you to it by seconds
pedrompinto
When a new update arrive i will need to re-apply all the copy and paste, including the files in the "My Documents" or just de DB in the Steam folder?
If I continue my last game, before the update and with this changes, and suffer the update I will need to re-apply?
Thanks
Tommy Hughes
Hi!
In FM17 I started a save after installing the Real Names Fix, so all the team names etc. were fixed and fine. Then one day there was an update and I forgot to re-install the Real Names Fix before continuing my save. I played a while and SAVED MY GAME. That was the big mistake I made. I only realized it later and then it was too late to load an earlier save... so I noticed that the Brazilian, Spanish etc. team names in my save had changed into wrong ones.
This is why I am going to do things different this time. I was going to be playing FM18 right now, but instead I will wait until Mons has a chance to inspect the new update 18.2 and, if needed, create a new version of the Real Names Fix. I will then download and install that fix BEFORE playing Football Manager, so it won't mess up the licensed names and other stuff in my save game. If Mons tells us that a new fix will not be needed, then I'll just re-install the current Real Names Fix again and then start playing the game again.
As Mons said in his last message, it shouldn't take long for him to see what actions are required to fix the latest update, so I suggest you just be patient and wait a while - it will definitely pay off in the long run.
