No worries see the attached screenshots, hopefully you can help.
Yeah you're right about the kits, I'll tidy that up.
Qvordrup
do you have a config inside the backgrounds folder?
McG84
Yeah I do, see attached. Should that be placed in any particular folder?
Qvordrup
no that is exactly how it is suppose to look like.
Qvordrup
have you tried to close your game and restart it?

I'm having exactly the same behaviour on Mac. Even restarted the machine and updated to last iOS version.

If you're using Chrome browser, see next to the download an arrow facing up, click there and "Resume". Do it every time the download stops.
McG84
Hopefully it's something minor and easily fixable. I was starting to think was I doing something wrong haha
Qvordrup
Right now I can't help you any further. I need to install fm21 and apply the pack to see if it works. Right now my steam code is lost between the old and new site.
Have anyone got this working?
McG84
Yeah no worries, hopefully someone has it working and they can share what they've done.

Replaced everything in the backgrounds folder and deleted the old pictures of the stadiums in the map pictures.
Not working.

Must be something caused by the config. I downloaded the latest megapack and prioritised it in loading order by adding a "1" at the beginning of the folder name in \graphics\backgrounds. FM 21 would not show the backgrounds or even stadium pictures. As soon as I moved the newest pack way down in loading order by replacing the "1" with "z", the older background pictures I had from my FM 19 and FM 20 worked just fine.
Qvordrup
could you please test this config for me?
clarkiebaby
at a glance it works fine with this config. only tested 3/4 screens but im now getting backrounds i never had before great work well done and thank you
Tommy Hughes
Thanks, I would but when I click the file name it takes me to the download screen but there are no free download methods available. I'm not a premium member, you see.
Qvordrup
use this new updated config
Qvordrup
there is a torrent version of the full download
Tommy Hughes
I've already downloaded the full FM 21 background pack (sortitoutsi_backgrounds_megapack_2021.00.zip) but this new config.xml is the only thing I'm missing now. 🙂
EDIT: What I mean is I cannot download the new updated config.xml you linked to your post above. It doesn't show any free mirrors, only the ad for the Premium Membership.
Qvordrup
okay... then there is other ways 🙂

No everything looks to be in the right place. We suspect the config to wrong.
try using this config (overwrite the current one)
And please let me know if it has fixed your problem
