Good Afternoon all - just wondered if anyone else has come across this. (My sincere apoligies if this is not in the right thread).

I have applied the fake names fixes as per usual and all has been fine - real names in German team etc. I'm in my second seaon and when the national teams are called for the Qatar WC the fake names come back!!. So the German team was the real names and then after the squads for the WC are picked the fake names come back.

Never seen this before, checked my files - all is as it should be. Has anyone come across this one? Any advice gratefully received.

with thanks

Rich

Can I have screenshots of the folders mentioned in the real name fix's installation instructions?

Thanks for taking the time Mons - here are the three shots of the files within the 2210 file. Checked and others are same. No probs if can't find anything - I'll keep having a look myself. One thought - for the first time ever I'm playing throught XBox game pass rather than steam. File path is different as you can see but as I say, up until now - fix has been working fine. Rich.

The screenshots look fine, but Gamepass has the tendency to recreate deleted files, which means that some files deleted when installing this fix get recreated from time to time. If that happens and you continue your save game, deleting them at a later stage will mean that the national teams at that time will only be changed when there are call-ups, and not instantly.

Thanks Mons - thought it was something like that. I'll keep checking before the call ups are due - seems to be just for the major comps though as regular call ups seem ok.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

The game doesn't differentiate between major comps or other call-ups. The fix either works or it doesn't.
