Sorry my friend, only just seen this.
Here you go…
Hovis Dexter
Many thanks - much appreciated
fmilln7
Will this work in FM22 or will you need to do an update for it to work? cheers
DazS8
As of now they dont work in FM22,
I have Covid at the moment so as you can imagine I have no plans to update or even make these again for FM22
Hovis Dexter
Hope you recover quickly
Mick the Miller
Get well soon! Your health is the most important thing!
fmilln7
yeah get better mate.
Leeds1919
get well soon pal
fmilln7
Hello mate. hope youve recovered and are feeling better! do you know if these will work for FM22 now the full release has happened? thanks again
DazS8
No they wont work.
They have changed the whole file system as far as I can see and I have no idea how to open the files needed…..maybe someone can help me with this
fmilln7
I wish i could if i knew what to do… can anyone help out here? cheers
Tommy Hughes
Is this it?
There's a file named sponsor_boards_[al].dds in the simatchviewer-pc.fmf package in …\Football Manager 2022\data\ (game folder)
I used the resource archiver program to extract the contents of simatchviewer.fmf and the location of the forementioned file (inside the extracted folder) is: \simatchviewer-pc\art\environments\shared_textures\default_interiors\
Hope this info helps you locate what you need to customize the Press Backgrounds the same way as for FM21. It seems they've indeed moved files and folder structures around, but fingers crossed, the Press Conference and Interview Backgrounds can be changed again, with only small adjustments.
EDIT:
Also, the fact that the more realistic pitch texture pack made by Fez works in FM22 suggests that we're onto something here.
And, furthermore, its files need to be copied to USER\Documents\\sports interactive\Football Manager 2022\art\shared_textures\ !!! Last year the same pack only needed to be copied to USER\Documents\\sports interactive\Football Manager 2021\textures\

Tommy,
Have you tried placing last years press conference and interview boards in this folder (art\shared_textures\) ? I think daz did try this and it didn't work …………..
I would be interested to know. I am away from my laptop for a bit so unable to try this out myself.
Tommy Hughes
I've made a sponsor board (sponsor_boards_[al].dds) for the club I'm starting a save with (Dundee), and placed it into the extracted …\Football Manager 2022\data\simatchviewer-pc\environments\shared textures\default_interiors\ and we'll see how it works… when I have time to play FM.
DazS8
Great news there Tommy…..I personally dont have the time anymore to make these for fm22 so I hope someone takers it forward
Derek
Great work mate!

I’m really sorry to sound thick, but I’ve put the environments folder in my usual graphics folder, but nothing shows up. Please don’t flame me, but I just can’t get them to show up. What simple stage am I missing?
Daz10N
Not working for FM22, different format or different file path than that of FM21
tdurb0
Aah so it's not just me then? Thankyou.
giglet13
Did this updated file path have any luck?
Doddo04
Hi Tommy how can you open that file? for me with photoshop 2022 i cant open it
Tommy Hughes
Actually, I didn't open the original picture. I simply made a new sponsor board the same size (1024x1024) in Paint.net and saved it as .dds. Then I backed up the original file and placed my own there, after naming it sponsor_boards_[al].dds.
I've yet to try it in a press conference/interview scene, but will do so soon…
Tommy Hughes
I tested a Presser and my background board with the sponsor logos did not appear. Back to the drawing board it is. 😢

Can you maybe try CD Mirandes? 🙂
Thanks 🙂
bionicgeekgrrl
Keep up the great detective work. I'm sure someone will crack this and get this working.
Doddo04
i think we must open the orginal file and edit it to get it work. But i can`t open it with photoshop so far.
wegstar
I had no trouble opening the file using GIMP. Will check, whether I can modify it and it will be shown soon. I'm not sure, if it is the right file though because it contains Logos of Screwsbury and the football League 1
Leeds1919
did he mind?
Try it like this USER\Documents\sports interactive\Football Manager 2022\art\environments\press_conference_room
i don't use it but i have manged to get Trophy podiums working in the art\environments folder
this is how it is in the simatchviewer-pc folder
if they do work please quote and thank Dazs8 for making these in the 1st place
fmilln7
can anyone confirm it works? cheers
