You need to copy and overwrite the faces and the new config file from the update pack into the faces folder.
If done correctly, you should be asked if you want to overwrite files – accept. You should have one folder for faces and another folder for iconfaces, and no sub-folder whatsoever in them.
These steps are to be repeated for every update pack downloaded, and they are to be installed chronologically.

It's a known issue with FM26 - read this. We're assuming this issue will get resolved in upcoming official patches/updates.
The new players were added before FM26 was released and didn't have the right UID yet. We've started the process of mapping them to the correct person's UID.
When you have a blank space instead of a cut-out, it means there is a config file pointing to a folder in which an image with that UID is not present. This generally happens when an update pack is installed in a separate folder and not part of the overall faces folder, or there is a rogue config file somewhere. It could also be that you have somehow not downloaded the full megapack but only part of it. Search within the graphics folder for the UID of this person, and you will probably find the secondary image. Delete that folder, and it should be fine.
Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.
Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.
In line with guidance on the official SI forums, At present, FM26 cannot handle multiple files with the same name. For example, if you have two files with the name "kit.png", it will not load both. and Player Faces: These work fine. You do not need the icon files anymore, and they can cause issues with the note above. Delete them.
As a result, the iconfaces are no longer available for download because they're not needed. You should also delete the iconfaces folder manually from your system too š

You need to change your user data location. Simple steps on how to do so can be found here.
It is recommended that the user data location is not placed within the Steam installation folder as this may cause issues.

The torrent file includes the base megapack uploaded just before that year’s FM version is released. Any and all subsequent update packs are to be downloaded separately.
For those who have never used torrents, in the vast majority of cases, it's just a question of downloading the client program (a small file, less than 1MB) and then downloading the megapack torrent file (a tiny file, around 20k) and then letting the program do the job.
Torrent files need a torrent client to be downloaded. I personally use µTorrent but other common clients are BitTorrent, Vuze and Deluge. For those using torrents for the first time, here is a general walk-through on how to download torrents and a specific guide for µTorrent.
Be aware that it will take a substantial amount of time to download the file due to its sheer size and that other people depend on you hosting the file to get it so please leave your torrent client on after you have fully downloaded it. The etiquette is generally accepted to be to upload as much as you download, although this might not always be possible. The older the torrent file, the less likely it is that there will still be users seeding it.

Please report this so that they can be reuploaded. Since the files are hosted outside our pages, there isn't much we can do about this unfortunately. You could try downloading the pack via torrent and get it this way.
Extracting the file will take a while, but it shouldn't take the hours and hours that the program extracting will sometimes say it will. To speed it up, it is recommended that you have as few programs running as possible so that the system can dedicate as many resources to the extraction as it possibly can.
Secondly, for files as large as this, the calculation of the extraction time will be wildly incorrect at the start. After a while, it'll show a more realistic timeframe, which shouldn't be more than an hour or two if you have a good setup and few programs running at the same time.

You might have a poor internet connection or your browser might have some extensions which interrupt this download. Having loads of downloads ongoing and/or streaming may also de-prioritise this download.
Try using Google Chrome in incognito mode (or the equivalent mode for other browsers) and you should be able to resume the download from the point it was interrupted, if that happens.

The most recent update pack will include the most recent config file, so you can choose to download it and use it from there.
Alternatively, you can download fmXML and generate a config yourself. There's a video on YouTube on how to use it but it's really easy and the instructions are quite straight-forward.

Down the years, after an update pack was released, it was noted that some images included therein where of the wrong person, with a wrong extension or duplicated. Due to the way the download system is structured, these cannot be removed from the download, so there may well be a couple of hundred images’ worth of difference, depending on the version you download.
Our megapack covers 25,000 teams and it's impossible to cater for these kind of requests since players and staff get transferred or sacked or retire etc and recreating and reuploading 25,000 different smaller packs would be an impossible task. That's why we have all the images in a megapack so that everything is captured therein.
These persons do not appear in the default database for licensing reasons. This means that they only appear in your save-game because they were added via a custom file, generally the real name fix file. However, this means that their UID (which is what is used to map a person's image to the right individual) is different, and so the game cannot assign the image to them from your existing facepack.
To get them to show, you should individually download any previously available cut-out faces from here (or use the UID to find them in your existing facepack if you don't use the cut-out megapack), put them in a separate folder to your existing facepack and create a config file just for them using the method outlined in here (which works for all facepack styles, not just the cut-out megapack).

It's a licensing issue. Download this file (or the equivalent for your version of FM) to resolve it.

Did you edit the config files at all? Can't think how there could be an issue with them tbh
Can I have a screenshot of the folder you've installed the files in? Showing clearly (a) the full path and (b) the amount of images contained within it.
Tarık Afacan
i didnt edit the config file. there is 6376 objects in the folder.
i changed the downloaded update faces/iconfaces folder (sortitoutsi folder) to main faces/iconfaces folder. is this a problem? should i select all images and paste into the main folder?
mons
I'm not sure how you only have 6,376 images, because that is the amount of images in the most recent update pack. You should have over 373,000 images in the faces folder, and the same in the iconfaces folder, because that's the total megapack image head-count.
Best not to have the iconfaces folder as a sub-folder of the faces folder, nothing to be gained by doing so, and you add an extra layer of complication when applying update packs by doing so.
I would suggest starting from scratch. Install the base 2022.00 megapack, and install the update packs after it chronologically using the method in bold above š

Hi all
well I'm utterly baffled and I don't know what else to do. I've downloaded the cut out faces megapack to FM2022 - graphics - sortitoutsi. There are 2 files inside called FACES and ICONFACES.
I go into the game and go to preferences from the pull down tab. Click the advanced tab and scroll to the SKIN heading then untick the box āUSE CACHINGā and tick the box āRELOAD SKINā and then I click on reload skin at the bottom. The faces are just not showing even when I leave the game and restart it. Should I be clicking on a CLEAR CACHE button somewhere. I've used this pack for years and normally there's no problem. I've downloaded a new skin and a few graphics packages which have loaded into the game ok. Please help I cannot play it without the faces.
mons
I've moved this post to this thread. Have a look at the FAQs and see if they help you sort it out.
If not, please provide screenshots of your megapack folder, showing clearly the full path itās located in as well as how many images are in that folder so that we can try to see what the issue is š
Burton Brewer
sorry I don't know how to do a screenshot the file says it is 346 MB (362,957,454 bytes)
mons
Without screenshots, I can't be sure what you've downloaded. But you seem not to have anywhere close to the full megapack, which is much larger and contains well over 373,000 faces.
Burton Brewer
ok thanks I'll try DF11 megapack
Bielsa is a legend
The filepath should be
fm22/graphics/pictures/faces
do as above but replace faces to icon faces
Bielsa is a legend
Your path is wrong
mons
To be precise, it's Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2022 / graphics.
It can be anywhere within that folder.
Burton Brewer
that is where I have put it.
Bielsa is a legend
Indeed, I was assuming that as read š
mons
Then you need to download the megapack again, because what you have isn't the full file.
Bielsa is a legend
You had graphics/sortitoutsi/
you need pictures/faces
Burton Brewer
so I create a file called pictures in graphics then a file called faces in pictures? then put the faces and iconfaces in there?
mons
In my experience, I've learned never to assume anything in terms of where and how people install these files, which is why screenshots are so helpful.
Bielsa is a legend
Yes, but separate for faces and icon faces
pictures should have all your kits, faces, balls, adverts etc in
mons
Where are you seeing this? I've not seen any screenshots š
Bielsa is a legend
From my structure
Burton Brewer
still no good I'll download again from another site.
mons
What exactly are you trying to download? Be specific.
There's no way you've downloaded the full megapack, all 17gb of it, in the few minutes since we've started speaking.
Bielsa is a legend
Just checked I have over 370,000 faces
Burton Brewer
i downloaded the cut out faces megapack which I have not just downloaded, it took me 2 hours earlier
Bielsa is a legend
Do a screen snip, you are clearly doing something wrong
Burton Brewer
sorry I don't know how.
mons
@Burton Brewer, here's how to take a screenshot. We're tying ourselves in knots unless you provide us with one, as we presently have no way of knowing what you're doing wrong.

ignore the DT and wonderkid folders-they are archives, the staff file is for putting cut outs to the personal asst and press officer
