Why are my video adboards are black?
This issue here is down to what I believe is a bug in the game. In FM17 when clubs had no video adboards assigned to them they loaded static adboards into the video adboards slots instead, for some reason FM18 is not doing this and just displays dead video adboards, the below image shows the difference between FM17 & FM18
I need a solution for this on FM 19

The static boards for fulham need a small tweak
I assume it's meant to read 'History will be made in Black and White' as one continous adboard

Here is another version I think I like more. When two of those earlier boards are next to each other there are too many league logos. Choose yourself.

To begin I am French, excuse my English "google translation."
I play with RC Lens (French team). I install patch 1.0 and update 1.1 following all the instructions. (I started again 3 times). I even reinstall Football Manager !
I also install the "bidstack enabled" document in the "version 3" file, blocked the targeted ads on FM & configure my firewall to block incoming traffic. And still nothing. I'm going crazy.
When I play at home or at another stadium, I have FM default dynamic adboards. (Prostate Cancer, Help, Center Point, Bidsatck ...). When I watch a match in replay in other clubs, the adboards work perfectly.
I missed a step ? I said that I looked several forums hoping to find an answer. Nothing.
Thanks.

So sorry to hear about your computer, mate. Your adboards have been tremendous and have really made a difference towards a more realistic match atmosphere! I really appreciate your work on them, especially since I don't have the needed programs or know-how to do something like that myself.
Hopefully you'll be able to sort out the computer issue soon and dive back into the world of Football Manager. And hopefully, at some point in the future, you'll have the time and interest to create or help others create yet more awesome adboards.
All the best,
Tommy

im getting the black adboards, i think i am making something wrong, i think is something with the xml files, i only have to move the two folders with the other xml and leave it there and do nothing? And i have downloaded the version 1.0 the fix and 1.1, i have to install first the first version, then the fix and last the 1.1 version or only the 1.0 and 1.1 versions?

Try renaming the 'HD' folder containing the video ads to 'SD'
FranGELP22
I will try, and the XML files, i should replace with the one i want from one xml file from the folder clubs or the no clubs and paste it in the ads folder that are this 2 folders and the other xml files, (sorry for my english im from argentina)
rabcp
That's correct just like in the video below

im still getting the black adboards, im playing with milan, maybe that has something to do with the black adboards?
rabcp
In the Football Manager preferences menu make sure the graphics quailty for the 3D match is set on either high or very high, otherwise the game wont load the video ads
FranGELP22
thanks i will try, and if i want to have the base adboards that comes with the game, what i have to do?
