This file is intended for FM13.3, and will need to be re-applied if/when 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 re-installed when patches come out.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1300 
AND
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1330 
MAC
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1300
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1330
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2013
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy the 30 files in the folder from step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

That depends on the database size which you've chosen and the leagues which you've loaded. It's got nothing to do with these files.

Again, it's got nothing to do with these files. You need to select Germany as a playable league and not view-only.

I'm mystified. It's not something I've ever seen happening and I've no idea what could be causing that. Have you changed or edited anything at all yourself?

A brilliant download which makes the game much more enjoyable. I've also found an easier way of getting this file to work without having to follow the instructions in the original post.

If you extract the downloaded file into this location then it works exactly the same. (1330 is the latest 13.3.0 update)

Program Files (x86) > Steam > Steam Apps > Common > Football Manager 2013 > Data > DB > 1330

Thanks for the kind words. Your statement is not entirely correct, though. The editor data files won't work if placed there. Plus if you extract the downloaded files into that folder, then a couple of files and folders within dbc, edt and lnc which need to be deleted will be retained rather than removed.

You're quite right, apologies.

The German national team fix doesn't seem to have worked.

That's one of things which doesn't get fixed if you apply the files in the manner which you've described.

If you re-apply the files correctly, you need not start a new game as the German national team will be populated with real players the next time that players are called up.

I doubt it's to do with these files and, if it is, God knows how you've managed that. Where did you place the files? Can you take a screenshot of them and post it here?

Who're you playing with?

It's weird, because the German national team and the competitions change to the real names. But Manchester United still stays as Man Utd. Someone can explain to me how this can happen?

I installed the files in the correct folders (1300 & 1330) and made the editor data folder in my documents. Im also restarted my Mac and made a new savegame...

This file doesn't change Man Utd's short name, I never said it does and I don't know how you got the impression

I've been trying to fix that tbh but some of the changes in the American Media file (and the Russian one too iirc) seemingly are uneditable. Even if they are removed, they keep appearing. It's a small price to pay unfortunately

No it's something in the some of the media sources files, which looks like it's not editable

Is it normal then that it seems its the Norwegian media that is present at Portuguese Second Division press conferences?

Definitely not the intention of these files but it's not surprising, no Let me guess, it's altomfotball.no, right?

Yesterday I started to check if there's anything which can be done with these errors and some may be changeable.

TV2 Sporten is reporting on my club, and when I added another manager at another Portuguese Second Division side, it was Verdens Gang who reported on them. There are several media files grouped by region/country. Would not choosing one or more of them (like the ones that contain Norwegian media sources) when creating a new save diminish chances of such unlikely media presence? If I intend to remain managing just in Portugal for example.

I'd already fixed both media sources yesterday. Both erroneously had a continental scope and have been given a national and regional scope respectively.

The files which appear to have the most issues are the American, Argentinian and Brazilian ones as some entries in these files are either not pointing to an entry (e.g. given a regional scope but not assigned a region) or incorrectly given a worldwide status when it is not applicable.

Sounds good. I guess it should be a fairly simple fix to the problem.

On top of this page it says the last update is from March 12th, but I think the downloadable file is older (Verdens Gang & TV2 Sporten have continental scopes, 2012 file modified dates). There are also 2 different Verdens Gangs (different IDs) - one in Norwegian Media.dbc (ex VestNytt) and another in Baltic, Scandinavian and Swedish Media.dbc. Do they have different functions or is it a duplicate error?

Would it help if the areas/cities/clubs that do not have Media Sources covering them had this coverage? It looks like for example Portuguese lower league teams have few if any Media Sources. Naturally identifying these medias would add to the tremendous amount of work it must have taken to compile the fixes file. Short of someone in the know supplying a list of newspapers/websites/tv channels, its not very difficult to find at least some real Media Sources by simply searching the net (for lists of medias working within countries).

I have a question

How come everything I try to start a new game with the updated database, competition names go back to default but when I use the default database, the competition names are fixed again. This is my first year of FM so my apologies if there's an easy fix
