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 2019 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern manager has a fake name. These are all 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 Brazilian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. 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, Japanese national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

These all look perfectly right. I don't know what's wrong
Fancy sending me your save game so I can test it?
Marinh0
Sure i send you in PM
bigno9
mons
I see no reason why they shouldn't
bigno9
sorry - on FM20?
mons
The process is the same for FM20 and all previous FMs, so whichever changes you had in mind using lnc files for English clubs should work just fine
bigno9
Yep - for some reason i can seem to get it to work - I'm on a Mac
mons
Can I have screenshots of the location of the file(s) you're trying to edit? And if you can upload the file itself, it'd be great so I can have a look at it.
bigno9
bigno9
maybe not!
mons
I'm copying the text from my lnc file to show you what it should properly look like.
bigno9
thanks - must have been the text editor i used, it appears to be the same in the other files when i open them.
mons
It could be that TextEdit has some setting which makes it look that way on your Mac.
If you want to make it without any text formatting, go to menu “Format > Make Plain Text” (or shortcut ‘Command+Shift+T”.)
You can also set this non-formatting as default everytime you launch this app. Go to “Preferences” > under ‘Format’ > choose “Plain Text”.

This thread is for the FM19 version of the real name fix.
If you're playing FM20, this thread is the one you're looking for
kaixstone
thank you!

i have updated the files now. But in my existing Savegame there is the Problem... that Juventus still called Zebre.
How can i change this in this savegame??
mons
This thread is for the FM19 version of the real name fix. If you're playing FM20, this thread is the one you're looking for.
That file should have been applied before starting a new game, since the only way to change the Juventus name after starting a career is to use an in-game editor.

That doesn't work for Brazilian clubs. You need to make sure your dbc/permanent folder looks the same as in the main post.

This file is intended for 19.3. If you have Steam, then the game will automatically update to the latest version. If you're not using Steam and/or you're using a pirated version, then that's your problem.

Which folder's lnc file are you editing? Can I have a screenshot? Also, could you upload the edited file or take a screenshot of it so I can see you're making the changes correctly?
_r2d2

a) You need to download the FM20 version of this file
b) Make sure the files in the respective folders are exactly as per the screenshots in the main post of the FM20 file.

Only thing that wont work is Juventus are still Zebre and the Brazilian kit pack i have downloaded but that is not your fault🙂
