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.

Anyone know where I can download the 3.00 facepack from as the premium link on this website isn't working?
lucas battistelli
I delete the config there is a way to get it alone
mons
Maybe @Footygamer has some way of retrieving it, but it's a 10 year old file so it might not really be possible anymore.
Here's the most recent one from the 13.12 update pack. Why on earth would you do anything like that though? 😕
Some faces mostly of young players is not working.How can I fix it ?
Bielsa is a legend
Depends on team, if a small team they may not be in yet
mons
How many images do you have in your megapack folder? Have you downloaded all the update packs?
mons
I checked a couple of the names and it seems they're Valencia youngsters and they do have cut-outs in the megapack.
Bielsa is a legend
Just checked my Valencia squad and yes half the kids are there, must be a config issue
I don't downoload megapack,I downoload individually pictures from cut out search.Where I may found other updates? Maybe is problem with XML Document?
Thanks.
mons
Read this to see how you can add cut-outs to your game. Once you do so, make sure that the preferences look the same way as the screenshot in the main post.
Can we see a screenshot of your folder which contains the cut-outs?
Sure
mons
Location is fine, so it's either an issue with the config file or you haven't changed your preferences.
Now is working,thanks so much.
Hectaris
Hi, I can't get 13.0 torrent for some reason, is there any way i can get it ?
mons
Can you not download it from here?
Hectaris
When i click on the torrent link, it does open a white page and doesn't start download anything
(thanks for putting me in the right thread)
mons
It should take you to this page, where the first link is the torrent file. Does it not download from there?
Hectaris
Update : Found out that this torrent doesn't work with Brave Browser - works with Chrome

Hi, sorry I have a question:
I just downloaded the megapack, now I have 2 files inside my zip: faces - iconfaces.
Where should I extract those files? in > My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 20xx > graphics > sortitoutsi > HERE
So inside > My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 20xx > graphics > sortitoutsi > i will have faces and icon faces (2 differents folder?)
mons
Yes, that's fine, like the screenshot in the opening post
imba#7241
Sorry, in the opning post there is
It's different from my post, that is C:\Users\Utente\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\graphics\sortitoutsi and here inside faces - iconfaces
mons
I didn't feel the need to include the first bit to avoid confusing users, but it's clearly the same folder.
The best way to check if they work is simply to load the game up and see if cutouts appear…
quecks
hi …i download the sortitoutsi_cutout_megapack_13.00.rar with the utorrent web (app?) …18gb it have..but so many faces i miss…from german borussia dortmund the gittens …so i think about to download the 12 part update packs …but i only find the two links ..where i have to wait over 2 hours for one small file ?!
any other links with utorrent maybe ? …plz help
greeting queck

Let me give you a brief explanation of how the system works, it's really quite straight-forward.
Every year, just before the game is released, the base cut-out megapack for that version is released. For example, the 13.0 base pack for FM22 was released on 3 November and it included 279,278 cut-outs.
Update packs are released every 2-4 weeks to add images to people who don't have one yet and to add better images for people in the megapack. 12 update packs for 13.0 have been released to date and as a result, the most recent update pack takes the total of images in the megapack to 323,666. Dortmund's Bynoe-Gittens was added to the megapack in the 13.02 update pack, for example, and so will naturally not be included in the base megapack, as it was released prior to his cut being produced.
So, in simple terms, for somebody to be fully up-to-date, they first need to download the 13.0 base pack, then the 13.01 update pack, then the 13.02 update pack etc. etc. until the 13.12 update pack.
I'm not sure I agree that each update pack is a small file, since almost all of them are 500MB+, as per the below screenshot. For technical reasons which I'm not going to go into, only the presently-used mirror sites can host the update packs. We're looking at potentially having the update packs available in torrent format in the future, but we need to see how it would work so it's not something which is going to happen immediately. I appreciate that having to download around 6GB worth of files to be up-to-date is not ideal, but given the size of the megapack, I can't see a lot of options tbh. Ideally, users download update packs when they are released so that the process is not as slow and cumbersome.
quecks
i know that ..but i need another links dude..i cant download one part ..i need 2 hours for one part ! and i have a 1000 download / 50 upload connect …wtf 😢
quecks
3 hour for one update …wtf ..i dont buy premium for this !
Bielsa is a legend
took less than 2 mins start to finish, suggest problem is your end
mons
As I said, it's not ideal, but it's an issue with how fast the mirror sites allow downloads to go, unfortunately, not with us.
As you're not a premium member, you can't get the file from our servers. Not exactly sure what it is you're saying here.
quecks
i can start the download..but i have to wait 3 hours for 500mb ! ..but after 1 hour the download stop everytime ERROR ! ..i take another facepacks now..shit of u ! ..this download managmend its 3rd world !
mons
You're getting a file for free, and you're complaining because it'll take a while to download? How self-entitled are you?
You have 3 options:
a) Become a premium member and download it for free directly from the website at a quicker speed
b) Download it from a mirror site for free, which will take a little longer to download.
c) Throw a hissy fit and flounce elsewhere
If you've chosen option c, it's your loss frankly 😕
