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.
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.

It may be an issue with your internet connection. As it's such a large file, the chances of a brief interruption happening naturally increase. If you use Google Chrome, it should be possible to resume the download from the point where it was interrupted, rather than downloading it again from scratch.
If that doesn't work, try to look at this: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000839.htm

(As your logos...am confused...packs from other sites work.)

Is the skin cache box unticked in the preferences?
Can I have a screenshot of your megapack folder? Probably not all will be in place.

No problem, happy to see it solved

This is TCM logo pack, found link on your Graphics page.
The problem is that I try 2 more Mega packs and still nothing. Same problem have with BRA kits.
mons
Then you're probably not installing any of them correctly.
Not sure why you're asking in here, though. This thread is to provide assistance with the cutout megapack, which doesn't seem to be your issue
Best to ask the pack creators for assistance

When I did this before on FM18, it worked fine.
Does anyone know why this doesn't work on FM20?
mons
It's a bit hard to tell without seeing the cuts and the config. Could you upload them?
Day Tripper
I've attached the cut.
And here's the config line:
<record from="1915386991" to="graphics/pictures/person/1915386991/portrait"/>
mons
I'd like to see the whole config please. Also a screenshot of the folder it's in and also a screenshot of the player in-game with his in-game UID showing.
Day Tripper
It's in the same folder as the rest of the megapack cuts - and the non-created players are working fine, it's just the created players that don't work.
The config file is 100% correct.
What I have noticed though, is that in-game the created players UID is different to what is shown as the UID in the Data Editor. I've tried changing the config coding line to reflect the in-game UID for the players, but this doesn't work either.
Is there an issue this year with cut out faces and created players?
mons
The reason I asked for the config and for a screenshot of the player in-game with the UID displaying is that the UID assigned in the editor is often different to the one in-game, dependent on a number of factors including what other editor data files are in place.
The config file needs to have the UID used in-game, rather than the one displayed in the editor.
Can I please have:
a) the rest of the cuts themselves
b) the whole config file
c) screenshots of the players in question in-game with the UID displayed
I'll then sort it out myself for you
There are no issues with graphics added to user-created entities in-game (be they players, logos, competitions etc.). If the config file is fine, then it'll work, which leads me to think there may be something wrong at your end. It'll probably be something quite minor yet pivotal, in my experience.
P.S. I've checked the Tiverton website and I'll include new and improved cuts for the guys already in the database in update pack 12.03
Day Tripper
Thanks, I'll look forward to 12.03!
How do you want me to send the screenshots, cuts and config file?
As I've said, I did notice that in-game the players have different UIDs - I've tried setting the cuts and config file to these UIDs and it still didn't work.
PS. my cuts are not very good!
mons
Either attach them to your reply or host them on mediafire, sendspace or a similar file-hosting site

Can I have a screenshot of your Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2020 / graphics folder?
Day Tripper
I've sorted it now!
Thanks for your help
Justas
Since one of the updates all my player faces just stopped working no matter how many times i have reloaded the skin, cleared cache and reset everything to default still no player faces.
Help would be greatly appreciated really annoying without the player faces.
Thanks
mons
You must have installed the update pack wrongly then. Can I have a screenshot of your megapack folder please?
Justas
mons
I'd like to see inside that
Why do you not have the iconfaces folder as well? Already looks like you didn't install the file correctly tbh...
Justas
mons
You have just over 212,000 cuts. The whole megapack contains just under 240,000. I can't tell which base pack and subsequent update packs you've downloaded for 28,000 cuts to be missing. That's around 20 months' worth of cuts, roughly speaking.
I would recommend downloading the 12.0 base megapack via torrent, which also includes the full iconfaces pack incidentally. To be fully up-to-date, I would then suggest downloading the 12.01 and 12.02 update packs
Justas
mons
Welcome - installation of the pack should be straight-forward, but do let us know if you have further issues

You can search the database by the players/teams/division, navigate to each respective team's players and download them individually, if you want.
awaat12333
That would take ages to download every single player though.
I mean is there a way to download them all in a pack instead of downloading every player in the game because I dont need them all.
mons
The only way it can be done is if they are downloaded manually; there is no other way to categorise cuts in the megapack. If it takes ages for you to do it, it'd also take ages for us to do it, which is why no such pack is available.
