There aren't config files in any of the separate folders this extracts to, just a standalone `click to get our latest config file' button on the download page. There should be a config in each folder, surely? BUT the config file size I have is 2.5MB (seems big for a config file). When I open it the only text points to graphics/nations. Am I just seeing a 'preview' when I click on the file to see what it contains? I really hope I'm just being slow this morning!

It's not entirely clear which file you're referring to

Fairly certain there is a config in each update including the main pack? Don't think there is one in each folder just one for the whole pack, I'll look when in from work later if someone doesn't before that.

Think you may have placed the config in the wrong folder, this is what a complete (newly downloaded Megapack) should look like:

(There's only one config, and it sits outside the League, Nation, staff, players, teams folders)

Have you tried downloading the separate config file and placing that in the main backgrounds folder?

Any chance of a screenshot of your graphics folder and also you are clearing skin cache in preferences and reloading the skin after any changes.

Aah, it took a bit of tidying folders (not played since FM17 and never played on Mac before).

It turns out my default factory setting is 'Clueless'. Thank you for the help, much appreciated, and thanks for being online and knowledgable

Edit: To add how on earth I'm gonna stop Richard Keogh being the most important player, the 'role model'? Thats not something Mel Morris seems to worry about in the game. Maybe it'll all kick off on schedule in October haha

Once again, thanks
