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 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 2022 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. 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, as well as Manchester Utd, 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. Another editor data file creates the Ajax non-playing staff and the German national team manager missing from the database due to licensing restrictions. 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.
Follow the below instructions to install this version of this file

You can find these folders by clicking, in the Finder, the Go menu in the menu bar, then choose Go to Folder and type the folder path name (obviously inserting your username), then click Go.
You can get to the Library folder by simply selecting Go from the top bar and holding "alt" key - The Library folder suddenly appears on the drop down menu
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.
For those struggling to find the Steam and Steam Apps folder etc using Mac with the new OS High Sierra, this link below shows how you can unhide your Library folder which will then let you find the other folders.
STEP 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the downloaded pack
STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.
These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 2240 folder:
dbc:
dbc/permanent:
edt/permanent:
lnc:
STEP 4:
COPY the 11 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack
STEP 5
PASTE to \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\editor data
This is also the same folder to be used for Gamepass.
As stated by SI themselves, for Gamepass, however:
You are not able to change the user data location as such but you can use the user data folder in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022 to store facepacks and graphics.
Equivalent folder for Mac
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive
By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:
Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2022’[/spoiler]
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.
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 and German 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.

Great response. I like it. Could you tell me if I start a save now will I be able to change the name when fix comes out or should I wait until then?

Website is hammered tbf. 500Kbs is all I'm getting on a 1Gb/1Gb connection. Lots of people downloading full megapacks and Sortsi's upload capacity being what is affordable and practical. I've left it for now, I don't need all the addons until I've played in the editor after full release.
@mons Does this resolve Ajax staffing at all?
Adsleeder
Should there be an editor data file? I've tried the ingame fix but not sure if I need to load a file etc?
thiagobumba87
The Juventus Stadium still has the wrong name “Zebre Stadium”;
thiagobumba87
Im also wondering why 😢
kingrobbo
the editor isnt out yet it wont be until full game release, so after that there will be extra files to use

Can you guys please read a bit? It has been answered at least five times in this thread.
mons
Thanks for these 👍
Thanks for this 👍
Cheeky bugger 😀
It's a 260kb file, even on shitty internet speed, it shouldn't take too long to download 😕
As explained in the first post and multiple times within the thread, the Ajax staffing issue can only be resolved when the full game and the editor are released on 9 November.

I've been looking into the issue with the French teams. It seems that you need to add the secondary teams as well, since those are now not being translated. The short name for Paris Saint-Germain is changed to PSG for all languages, but the second team still uses the ‘Paris SG’ default. For me it works to delete all lines for France, I don't know how these teams show up in English? Otherwise, fix would be to replace
“”with“English”to only apply the effect to the English database for these English teams only.Please add Qarabag to Azerbaijan (line 1329), named wrong in Dutch short name (Karabagh) and Agdam is not part of the full name (all languages):

Nice but dont change the Greek teams and comp…
nikolaosaek
How does the Manutd logo appear??
mons
As luck would have it, I'm checking the French reserve team issue right now again and it seems they've all changed from FM21, so I think I'll need to manually rename all B/second teams accordingly.
Thanks for the other suggestions. The z in zvezda is intentionally in lower case based on feedback I received in the past from Serbians so I won't dare amend that 😉
There are 442 Greek competition name changes - which other ones do you think need changing? These kind of comments serve no purpose whatsoever 😕 If you think something needs to be changed, you need to tell me exactly what and why…
That's an issue with the logopack you're using, not this file, so please ask the creator(s) of that logopack.
SGDynamite
i can not find the Juventus Editor Data file from the last years?
mons
Read the main post of the thread to see why this cannot be available until the full game is released.
SGDynamite
thx but can i not use the file from last year?
mons
You can try, it won't work. Which is why I didn't include it in this release…
Greentrunk
Huge thanks for this file being available so swiftly! Really appreciate the fine work and time thats being put into this.
teddypicker90
Fix is good so far! However, why does it get rid of club nicknames? Is there a future fix for this? 🙂
mons
Read the main post.

A new version of the file is now available for download. It contains the activation of the Dutch national team, club name changes for French reserve teams, fixes to Spanish and French lower division competition names, as well as all the other proposals posted in this thread 👍

FAQ
Why does Ajax have no non-playing staff apart from Marc Overmars?
Reason: Licensing restrictions forbid it.
Solution: Once the full game and the pre-game editor are out on 9 November, this can be resolved with a new version of this download. Due to the nature of the fix. this will need a new save game to be started.
Why doesn't the Juventus stadium have the correct name? Why do Juventus kits not display correctly in the match engine?
Reason: Licensing restrictions forbid it.
Solution: Once the full game and the pre-game editor are out on 9 November, this can be resolved with a new version of this download. Due to the nature of the fix. this will need a new save game to be started.
Teams who have name changes don't have a nickname any more. Can this be fixed?
Reason: When club name changes are done via lnc files, this removes the clubs' nickname, which is not the case if editor data files are used. Since editor data files don't work with the FM22 beta, club name changes have been done via lnc files.
Solution: Once the full game and the pre-game editor are out on 9 November, this can be resolved with a new version of this download. Due to the nature of the fix. this will need a new save game to be started.

Thanks for those @uGlc, all added for the next version, whenever that may be 👍
P.S. If you have any more to add, best to make them in a new post rather than edit one already created because I might well not realise you've done so

@mons I don't know if/how the Xbox Edition will be different to Touch, but is it likely that the everything that's available now will work in it based on last year?
(I know certain editor files won't work, and the nickname situation)
