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.

I don't have an Xbox so I can't really test it, I'm afraid. If this fix worked last year, then I imagine it'll work this year too.

Where did you get this?

https://www.ffib.es/Fed/NPcd/NFG_VerClub?cod_primaria=1000108&codigo_club=55
Afaik it's still known as CE Santanyí, both their official Twitter and the FFIB official web say that.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Deportivo_Santañ%C3%AD
There are two official languages.
Club Deportivo Santañí Spanish language
Club Esportiu Santanyí Catalán language
I guess you're right. @mons can you revert it?

Are the colours of the europa league champions league and conference league correct in this files?
mons
All in @shadowrun, apart from the broom, naturally.
Nope, will need the full game and editor to be released to be fixable.
diaz23
Are short club names broken this year? Tried a few different name fixes but never had a perfect end result. Armini(a Bielefeld), FC Hei(denheim), Fortun(a Düsseldorf) etc. are “bugged” in this, tried another name fix and got “Manche” for both City & United. These only show up in Leagues in Focus and the live league table. Maybe someone has a fix or a suggestion? Worked fine for me the last years with the full names for every club.

Let's take this into PMs 😉
AVB2010
Liga Portugal Bwin ( new name of portuguese league ) still is Liga NOS…
How to fix it?
Thnk
mons
There's a screenshot in the first post showing clearly that's not the case :
I've also redownloaded the file to be sure, and it's input correctly:
Are you sure you're using the correct files and not last year's version or a different file from a different website?
mons
I've had a little bit of time to check this, and the issue only occurs in the leagues in focus page from within your inbox. When the league table is viewed from the division's pages, they appear as normal.
I suspect this is related to the small space that the team name has in this screen and that, in cases where the short name is not short enough to fit, the game then reverts to the six-letter name field. It might also be related to the fact that club name changes within this fix are being done via lnc files in the beta since the editor data files don't work.
I'll keep this in mind to check and investigate once the full game is released to see what, if anything, can be done about it. Looks to be an intentional change from SI though.
MrGizMo
He means the Xbox version on PC i think. On console side you cant change anything 🙂
mons
I don't have that one either 😀
Hopefully some kind soul who's got that and is willing to check can tell us if it works and/or what needs changing in the installation instructions…
MrGizMo
If you still need someone around the release date. I can install and check it out. pm here or on discord dm
mons
I would be more than happy to collaborate via PM like we did last time (i.e. you tell me what needs to be done and I give you all the credit 😀slightly_smiling_face:
MrGizMo
np. Hopefully we can get it to work around the 9th then
