FM2022 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v4.1 for FM22.4.1 [released on 04/04/2022] - final version

Then you'll have to wait until it comes out 😕

Use Notepad and open it that way. Remember that club name changes are primarily done through the editor data file, and that the lnc file is only a fallback option for those who have started a new save before applying the fix. Therefore, if you want to edit a club name, the below is what you'll need to do 👍

 

ok thx!

but do you like the short name? 😂

So, i have a saved game, I applied the "club name change" file when opening the game. And then I edited the lnc file in notepad then saved it with ctrl+s. There are no changes in the game. Where did I go wrong? 

Hey @mons  i got very confused now with AC Arlesien, i posted here few days ago about the name that shouldnt appear as AC ARLES - AVIGNON but as AC Arlesien instead, so far so good. The strange thing is that in game it is shown as AC ARLES - AVIGNON althought i searched in your club name change editor file and doesnt appear to have changed, neither on the inc file!!! how is that possible????

 

ps. even in the original db the name is right (AC ARLESIEN)

 

UID IS 3500215

 

pics attached too.

I think it's a bug within the editor tbh. I had something similar when creating the changes for Hansi Flick, which I initially did in a separate editor data file, but which worked alone and with a combination of these files, but not with all of them loaded. My solution was to manually input the data into another file.

 

Raise the issue on the official forums, so that SI are aware of it. I don't think it's an isolated issue, but it's something which might (and hopefully will) be resolved shortly, so if there's a lot of data to input again, it might be worth waiting until it is rather than doing it all over again.

 

P.S. You don't have the latest version of this download - try to download it again (removing the existing older files) and see if that works for you 👍

Did you use Greek data language in FM22?

 

add new line in notepad

#France City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc

“CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE” 3500215 “AC Arlésien” ""
“CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE” 3500215 "Arles" ""

Hi 

Thanks your awesome work over the years!

 

i have the 1.2v installed correctly(all changes appear correctly ingame)

I have a similar problem, & i have boiled it down to the Ajax & Flick file and the Media file being incompatible(doesnt matter if it's only one or both) with my changes. 

 

i have looked through your changes in both files. so i can confirm that our changes doesnt in anyway conflict.

 

Any idea why this issue occur?

yes, greek language i use and after switching to english  appears correct!….its very confusing though! how can greek data language cause that problem?

Adding this line in notepad will make me lose the nicknames??

Hi mons, 

Thanks for the data fixes. Everything works fine for me, except for one issue. I have created my own data via the editor (adding my mates on to the game). When I load up the editor data in a new game, selecting all of your editor data plus my own, I can see yours but not mine. On the screenshot below, I can load all of the data entitled "FM22…", or I can load just my data “The Guys”, but I cannot load them all together. Everything works, just not together. I tried adding my guys to the bookmakers data file and they did not appear. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

Not very short 😂 I don't intend to change the current name, if that's what you're trying to tell me 😉

 

 

I added a line to the FAQ about this earlier today 👍

So, if I apply the "club name change" editor data file and after opening new game change the lnc file, does the game give priority to the editor data file or lnc file?

No idea. Could be a bug with the game or a bug in your file 😕

 

 

It will, yes. Seems like the editor data file will only work in English-language saves then, unless I'm mistaken.

Use the pre-game editor and load the club name changes file, then change whatever you feel needs to be changed. Be warned that you may need to redo these steps for every re-release of this file, but once you've started a save game, it'll be immaterial anyway. This change will only work if done before starting a save game.

 

If there's any changes you feel strongly enough about, feel free to propose them for changing in the main file 👍

 

 

 

Is there any way you can find out the UID of the first one? Can I have a screenshot of your editor data folder?

Thanks for the reply, Ok, I will give that a bash, My suggestion would be that club names for La Liga, Bundes Liga etc would appear as they do on the respective leagues official website league tables, think this would enhance realism. https://www.laliga.com/en-GB/laliga-santander/standing; https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/table; as examples, tbf most are spot ob but there is a few which are more colloquial names of the clubs rather than what we see when looking at league tables IRL. 

Tell me which ones you think should be changed and I'll take them into consideration. I don't have the time to review them all, sorry.

 

Also, Am I right in saying that this patches acheives the same results as the one on FM Scout (Which I used last year) but with the added benefit of not removing club nicknames, I am just trying to compare them both to make sure I am not missing out on anything lol. 

I have no idea what other patches do tbh, up to you to evaluate each of them and see what it does. I very much doubt that other similar files are as comprehensive as this one, though.

 

Second last question I promise, What does the file “forbidden names.dbc effect as they advise you to delete that also but I notice you guys do not. 

I believe that's a list of names which are hard-coded not to appear in regens. Simply put (it's a bit more complex than that), regens' name are chosen from the pool of names in the database at the start. So if there are 10 Stans out of 40000 English people, an English person has a 1 in 4,000 chance of being called Stan. Same reasoning for surnames. I have no idea which names this file hardcodes not to appear, but I imagine names like Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler etc are in there. I see no reason to delete it.

 

And final question, why do we need to duplicate these actions in ”2200" & “2201” as well rather than just “2210”

Just to be sure.

 

Thanks in advance

I downloaded the real name fix and the league and tournament names are correct but Man UFC, Zebre and Real San Sebastian still appears…

Hi. Really sorry if this is the wrong place, but with the real names fix file, any idea why it reads ‘This data file is incompatible - please load it into the editor and re-save’ in the database folder? Any idea what I need to do to fix this? I've done everything as indicated and this doesn't normally happen!

Answers in bold above.

Awesome, some great answers there. If I just want to have the Bundes liga team names the way they are in the official database do I just remove the “German club name changes DE file” Does this file only effect German club names.. Stupid question I know

The files in this download are all you need. Norway and Newcastle are for previous beta builds, and they are not needed with the full release.

 

 

You can get achievements in the game with these (and any other) editor data files installed, I think it's just the Hall of Fame which you can't be added on to.

I'm getting all those @Lionsault, keep them coming 👍

 

 

 

Yes.

 

If you load up the pre-game editor, you can check this yourself, you know 😉 And if you're not sure, there's nothing stopping you from starting a new game as a test to see how things are and what (if anything) needs changing or tweaking.

I have no idea where you're putting that for you to get that error message, I've never seen that before.

 

Can I have a screenshot of your folders which have a screenshot in the main post?

ok i did mega question comment here but first: if i want to be in hall o f fame i cant change anything in base? Hash (#) in ur file too?

 

I tried and will try to read all comments here.

BTW u should change this picture if it shouldn't be there (norway, newcastle)

Yeah I am a returning FM player that has been away for a few years, but played my first ever game as Champ 97/98… Not played about with an editor since for decades lol. But I did what you where thinking and loaded it up there and had a poke, its actually pretty straight forward. Tbf not even the original FM database has the German clubs exactly the way they are on official Bundes Liga tables so I think best option is to just tweak your file till I am happy. I am a one save man once finally booted up. Thanks again, tremendous work….. I have particularly enjoyed the amount of times you have been asked about Zebra or Man Utd….. Hahaha

Hopefully this works…

If it's that obvious I'm going to punch myself in the face.

It is that obvious, I'm afraid. Please make sure to install the dbc, edt and lnc folders too, not just the editor data files.

 

And do delete the older editor data files.
