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, do NOT apply in 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 2020 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 German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach managers have fake names. 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 (including Juventus) 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.

This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
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 immediately. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players, who are not in the official database and will need a third-party add-on to be created and added.
Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.

For some reason, changes made in the lnc file to entries in any language other than English don't appear to work in FM20
Littlebird31
mons
You'll have to ask SI, not me
And it doesn't work for any all languages other than English, it's not just an issue with French. The code is still there from past versions of the file and I've left it there in case it starts working again in future versions...
Littlebird31
For now, i found something : delete club names file in editor data is working. I can get my "atletic bilbao" name club. But i get all the others clubs with vanilla names. This is the only way for now
Castrol
I'm trying to change the team name of a lower level english team, i've amended using the official pre game editor, i've also updated in the Real Team Name file as part of the download from Sortitoutsi.
Whilst the new team name shows when you search, the league table, main squad and fixtures still show the original team name instead of the new one.
Baffled ....... lol
I can't think where the system can be picking up the original team name from? Any ideas?
mons
Can I have the file(s) that you've edited please? I can't tell anything from that screenshot.
Castrol
Sure thanks Mons appreciated, ideally i'm looking to use in Dan's Level 15 file, but have also tried on a standalone editor file, both have the same issue, the new name shows in the search field, but the league table and numerous other places show the old name.
Cheers
mons
In the screenshot sent originally, the date is February 2020. Are you editing these files after having started a new game? If that's the case, they won't work because they need to be in place before starting a new game.
Castrol
Hey Mons, no i'm using them to start the new game, I think the screen shots were taken when i'd set the new game to start on the Brazil timeline rather than the start of english league.
But definitely editing the files before I start a new game
mons
Are you sure you're loading the files when starting a new game?
Actually, drop me a PM; I may have a possible solution to propose

Hi mons,
Just picked the game up again after a bit of a lay off... wondering if there has been any workaround regarding the naming of Juventus' stadium? I know it sounds petty but I can't handle Zebre Stadium!
Mark
mons
I'm afraid there isn't anything I know of to fix this other than having the file in place before starting a new game...

thanks

By downloading and applying this file before starting a new game.
If you've started a save already, the only way to fix it is by using a save-game editor.
Tommy Hughes
FM 2020 had some minor update today. I checked the \db\ folders and some of them have been affected. There's at least a file named "transfer updates.dbc" in the folder: ...Steam\steamapps\common\\Football Manager 2020\data\database\db\2040\dbc\ that had either been added by or altered by the update.
Do you recon a new version of Real Names Fix is required?
Thanks!
Si Ford
mons
I imagine it has something to do with its release on the Epic Games platform. I can't really see any reason to release a new version of this file at this stage, though,
Si Ford
steam apps comon data database db 2040
looks like there is nothing to change?
parodi.seba.99
mons
Yep, no need to do anything at all as far as I can tell.
mons
As I don't have the game through the Epic platform, we'll have to wait for somebody who does to give us guidance. I imagine it'll be broadly the same steps, but with the Epic Games installation path instead of the Steam one.

Other clubs for example Ligue 1 or clubs from Serie A work fine, face addons work, logos and license too in this league.
I download this mod, kits, logos and faces.
