This file is intended for FM13.3, and will need to be re-applied if/when 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 re-installed when patches come out.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1300 
AND
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1330 
MAC
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1300
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1330
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2013
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy the 30 files in the folder from step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

FM14 now probably - there's no pressing issues to justify releasing another new version at this point.

1. I don't think it's possible any more.
2. Since FM12, licensing restrictions have removed the ability to have different long and short names for Portuguese clubs so there's isn't anything which can be done there, either.


ok, thanks anyway.

I'm always amazed how and why people always blame this file for all sorts of things even when it's clearly not related

To get back on topic, you probably unticked the checkbox "Enable transfer budgets in first transfer window" when you were starting a new game.

Awesome files!

In South Korea, the Rush & Cash Cup was actually the old, defunct K-League Cup. It no longer exists. The National League Cup should retain its name. These files incorrectly rename the National League Cup to Rush & Cash Cup.

Do these files slow games down? I'm currently discussing my slow processing issue with a SI staff member (uploaded an FTP) and he suggests it might be editor data files and the custom db causing the issue.

Had to go through each line removing the erroneous "The" in 50% of the nation names, but other than that, perfect! Thanks.

Given the relatively small size and nature of these editor data files, I doubt they are the cause of your issue. Far be it for me to contradict an SI staff member though!

One of the updates has re-created the all folder within the lnc folder in the game's installation folder. Depends when you started the game, you need to delete the file in either the 1300 or 1330 folder. Let me know if you I haven't explained myself well...

This file has got nothing to do with your issue.

When you start a new game, you've probably unticked the "use real player" tickbox. Tick it and everything should be back to normal in your next save game.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2013\data\db\1330\lnc

No 'all' folder in either the 1330 or 1300 inc section and problem still persists.

I've taken the liberty to give you a screenshot of what both the 1330 and 1300 folders look like.

Can you confirm that the following line is present in the Competition and other fixes.lnc file in both folders?

#Germany
"FAKE_NATIONAL_TEAM" 771 0

yes mate that line is there word for word. I also thought that could be the problem and checked this before I consulted you.

can't understand why it isn't working

Ahh, for some reason it seems to have corrected itself now. Working as it should be. That was weird.

It seemed to use the fake team for the world cup and now it has switched back to the proper team. Never seen that before.

By the way, thank you for the excellent work that has been put into these files, a masterpiece truly.

EDIT: Nvm, found the answer a couple of pages back. Thanks.
