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.

ohh thanks a lot!! then i will wait for your version to start my new saved game.

Why does Juventus and Manchester United have their correct names while I'm in the screen where you setup the database, but once I load the game they are called Zebre and Machester UFC? Champions League has its correct name in the game.
MrGizMo
Dont worry. I will start a new save then 😀 😛
osek
I'm only using the dbc, lnc and edt files, since i want to keep my database changes at 0. Is it even possible to change those names without the editor files?
danielrere
Hi, thanks for the good job. What about Napoli stadium? it appears still as San Paolo.
Thanks!!
VikingDan
Removed as i posted just after the new version dropped.
McG84
I don't think Hansi Flick has been added as the German national team coach.
MrGizMo
For me it shows as :
Stadio Diego Armando Maradona
Raeskye
hey guys was wondering if the team nicknames stay the same
KrvakForLife
1.2 pls
KrvakForLife
bug.
Nicolas Achabal
Great job, mons. Brazilian club colours are fixed, thanks!
Found an error with stadiums, don't know if it is possible for you to fix it too: Cruzeiro, from Brazil second tier, have “Arena do Jacaré”, when the correct one should be “Mineirão”.
atommo
That may be a SI issue not a real name fix
KrvakForLife
Zebra U23 in the game fix pls.

Hi Mons,
Thanks for this brilliant work. Just an observation that might be relevant to your media file. I have also worked on media files for FM21 and when porting to FM22 I noticed that while media I have added will appear in game (news items), they were not attending press conferences. When I checked the editor, FM22 now has an option called ‘Attends Press Conferences’. It is not ticked by default, which means I need to now go back through the media I added for Scotland and England and manually tick the box for each record. Not sure if it impacts your editor file, but if you want any media to go to press conferences, they won't by default due to the change in editor. Just thought to raise in case it slips under the radar. Apologies if not relevant to your editor file for media. Thanks.

Kann es sein das die Nationalmannschaft von Deutschland fehlt noch
Cymro
English please …
saihtam92
What exactly works only with the editor file as we cant delete db files in gamepass?
TY

Dude that is such a rude way to communicate to someone.
If you have come across a bug why don't you try reporting it on here like your are talking to a human being instead of like something you have just scraped off your shoe.
Manners don't cost a thing.
Thank you.
Andy.
Nigel Laverick
I think he’s asking if Mons can fix the German National team?
KrvakForLife
Bro, I didn't mean to be rude, I'm Portuguese and I used google translate, so the words sounded rude, I'm sorry, now I'm typing. Google translator is the worst thing invented, I'm sorry.
Raeskye
does anyone know how to get this on the Mac pls
MrGizMo
You must be fun at parties :/

Again, I'm sorry.

Gents, please lets not descend into bickering. From what I can gather there is something that is holding Mons up with the files, please bare with.
VikingDan
Noticed a couple bits. Ajax staff are a bit confused.
Also Hansi Flick doesnt seem to be in the game or managing Germany.
stevemc
Download it, extract using The Unarchiver or Keka and put the files in these locations:
/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2022/data/database/2210
/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022/editor data
Cymro
Thanks Dan. Mons is aware, think this is where the issues lie.
mons
I've taken on board most everything, but a fix I did for Flick not appearing is not working properly, so it'll need further testing. Got a couple of other possibilities to resolve it but they may take a bit of time or they may not. Just a heads-up 👍
Andy2883
Could it be that the national team of Germany is still missing
