You need to copy and overwrite the faces and the new config file from the update pack into the faces folder.
If done correctly, you should be asked if you want to overwrite files – accept. You should have one folder for faces and another folder for iconfaces, and no sub-folder whatsoever in them.
These steps are to be repeated for every update pack downloaded, and they are to be installed chronologically.

It's a known issue with FM26 - read this. We're assuming this issue will get resolved in upcoming official patches/updates.
The new players were added before FM26 was released and didn't have the right UID yet. We've started the process of mapping them to the correct person's UID.
When you have a blank space instead of a cut-out, it means there is a config file pointing to a folder in which an image with that UID is not present. This generally happens when an update pack is installed in a separate folder and not part of the overall faces folder, or there is a rogue config file somewhere. It could also be that you have somehow not downloaded the full megapack but only part of it. Search within the graphics folder for the UID of this person, and you will probably find the secondary image. Delete that folder, and it should be fine.
Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.

In line with guidance on the official SI forums, At present, FM26 cannot handle multiple files with the same name. For example, if you have two files with the name "kit.png", it will not load both. and Player Faces: These work fine. You do not need the icon files anymore, and they can cause issues with the note above. Delete them.
As a result, the iconfaces are no longer available for download because they're not needed. You should also delete the iconfaces folder manually from your system too 👍

You need to change your user data location. Simple steps on how to do so can be found here.
It is recommended that the user data location is not placed within the Steam installation folder as this may cause issues.

The torrent file includes the base megapack uploaded just before that year’s FM version is released. Any and all subsequent update packs are to be downloaded separately.
For those who have never used torrents, in the vast majority of cases, it's just a question of downloading the client program (a small file, less than 1MB) and then downloading the megapack torrent file (a tiny file, around 20k) and then letting the program do the job.
Torrent files need a torrent client to be downloaded. I personally use µTorrent but other common clients are BitTorrent, Vuze and Deluge. For those using torrents for the first time, here is a general walk-through on how to download torrents and a specific guide for µTorrent.
Be aware that it will take a substantial amount of time to download the file due to its sheer size and that other people depend on you hosting the file to get it so please leave your torrent client on after you have fully downloaded it. The etiquette is generally accepted to be to upload as much as you download, although this might not always be possible. The older the torrent file, the less likely it is that there will still be users seeding it.

Please report this so that they can be reuploaded. Since the files are hosted outside our pages, there isn't much we can do about this unfortunately. You could try downloading the pack via torrent and get it this way.
Extracting the file will take a while, but it shouldn't take the hours and hours that the program extracting will sometimes say it will. To speed it up, it is recommended that you have as few programs running as possible so that the system can dedicate as many resources to the extraction as it possibly can.
Secondly, for files as large as this, the calculation of the extraction time will be wildly incorrect at the start. After a while, it'll show a more realistic timeframe, which shouldn't be more than an hour or two if you have a good setup and few programs running at the same time.

You might have a poor internet connection or your browser might have some extensions which interrupt this download. Having loads of downloads ongoing and/or streaming may also de-prioritise this download.
Try using Google Chrome in incognito mode (or the equivalent mode for other browsers) and you should be able to resume the download from the point it was interrupted, if that happens.

The most recent update pack will include the most recent config file, so you can choose to download it and use it from there.
Alternatively, you can download fmXML and generate a config yourself. There's a video on YouTube on how to use it but it's really easy and the instructions are quite straight-forward.

Down the years, after an update pack was released, it was noted that some images included therein where of the wrong person, with a wrong extension or duplicated. Due to the way the download system is structured, these cannot be removed from the download, so there may well be a couple of hundred images’ worth of difference, depending on the version you download.
Our megapack covers 25,000 teams and it's impossible to cater for these kind of requests since players and staff get transferred or sacked or retire etc and recreating and reuploading 25,000 different smaller packs would be an impossible task. That's why we have all the images in a megapack so that everything is captured therein.
These persons do not appear in the default database for licensing reasons. This means that they only appear in your save-game because they were added via a custom file, generally the real name fix file. However, this means that their UID (which is what is used to map a person's image to the right individual) is different, and so the game cannot assign the image to them from your existing facepack.
To get them to show, you should individually download any previously available cut-out faces from here (or use the UID to find them in your existing facepack if you don't use the cut-out megapack), put them in a separate folder to your existing facepack and create a config file just for them using the method outlined in here (which works for all facepack styles, not just the cut-out megapack).

It's a licensing issue. Download this file (or the equivalent for your version of FM) to resolve it.

a) the file needs to be extracted before being placed in the graphics folder; is this the case?
b) what is the path before graphics/sortitoutsi/faces please?
c) did you change the preferences as displayed in the opening post of this thread?
d) can I have a screenshot of the folder where your faces are placed?

Can you please answer my questions? Unless you do, I can't really tell what could be wrong. At present, I suspect the download did not fully complete.
a) What download method did you use? Torrent or split files?
b) What is the total size of the file(s) you've downloaded?
c) can I have a screenshot of the location where they are placed?
d) The file needs to be extracted before being placed in the graphics folder; is this the case?
e) What is the path before graphics/sortitoutsi/faces please?

It'll probably be the case that you either didn't install it properly or the file didn't download fully. No worries. Can I have a screenshot of the location you've placed the downloaded files in? Showing clearly the installation folder path please.

I'm afraid it's not possible to split the pack by club, division or country, since the only way to do so would be manually and it's simply not possible to do so while keeping into account transfers and staff movements etc...

Why do you have 6 graphics folders? You should only have 1 with everything in.
The graphics6 folder you took the screenshot of seems to only have the cuts from the 11.01 update pack in it. You need to download the full megapack.

Is that a question? What do you want a screenshot of? There's already a screenshot in the opening post of the correct installation location for the sake of guidance.
When you download the full 10gb+ megapack file, make sure you place it there.
Hope this helps

I've moved your post to here.
As per our previous discussion, can you
a) post a screenshot of your megapack folder, and
b) make sure you follow my instructions here
If you want to see what your megapack folder should look like, have a look at the opening post of this thread. It's for Windows, but the file structure for Mac should be the same.

You're not downloading the full megapack, I'm afraid. It may be the case that the download is stopped before it's completed, either due to server issues or because your internet connection is not stable. If you use Google Chrome to download the pack, you should be able to resume your download if this happens...

I am just getting blank faces for my international team (France), the opposition (England) has their pictures, but not mine.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks for help
mons
It's a licensing issue, solved by downloading these files. This fix is save-game compatible
Thomas Alstrup
Is there a solution to this problem? It's pretty annoying.
mons
That's a bit strange, never had anybody with an issue like that
Can you post a screenshot of the location you've put your graphics folder in? Also of the faces folder itself, if possible
Also, what exactly do you mean by "load the new graphics in the game settings"?

Good spot - will be rectified shortly
This is the 3rd time you've posted this in the last couple of weeks and every time I've replied asking for more information, namely: can you (a) post a screenshot of your megapack folder, and (b) make sure you follow my instructions here. Every time, for some reason you've ignored me and posted the same thing all over again. Help me help you.
