FM2023 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v5.0 for FM23.5 [released on 09/05/2023]

Thanks mons, hope the below is what's needed.

You're missing the quotation marks either side of the path, plus you haven't put in the correct folder name.

It should look this:

but with the path being this one:

Thank you. That appears to have worked.

Hey All, 

I need a bit of help here. I'm not a rookie, but just decided now to download FM23 from steam but the license fix doesn't seem to work. 

I think the issue is that, although in Steam it says my game is fully up to date, and when I launch the game, it says its version 24.5, I can only pich the 24.4 database to load in. 

I guess thats why the license fix doesn't work but not sure. I neved had problems before with this. 

Any idea? 
 

Confusingly the game version in 23.5, but the most recent database is 24.5. All seems fine there.

The second screenshot shows 80 files in the editor data folder. How are you sure that this fix isn't amongst them?

Can I have a screenshot of your editor data folder (showing clearly the full path) and also of the custom database section when starting a new game, only scrolled down to where the real name files should be?

Thanks,  I've reinstalled the game, deleted all documents, and tried again, but the issue still occurs.  

Here are two screenshots showing the location of the pasted files: 

 

Oddly, it seems like only Manchester United's name doesn't work:

 

You have 80 files here:

But none of them are here:

You need to move the files from this folder, to the one in which the above 80 files are included.

Hello, the club names change after loading the game. I create my club names myself and when I start a new game everything is fine but when I turn off and on the game and load a save, the names change to the original ones.

I'll need some screenshots of the files you've edited and the folders you've placed them in, as well as the file(s) itself attached.

Here is where I pasted the files and how I edited them

Here is the state right after launching a new game, everything is as it should be

And here it is, after turning it back on and loading the save. Attached are the files I changed

Some time ago it still worked normally if I didn't make any changes to these files.

The files have so many entries, I have no idea what exactly you changed. However, since you're not playing the game in the English language, the game will revert back to the entries in English, unless you specify in the lnc file that you want the changes to work in the language you're using by inserting the language in the last set of apostrophes

e.g.

"CLUB_NAME_CHANGE" 1685 "Osasuna Pampeluna" "French"

Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I'm playing in Polish and I've added "polski" to the apostrophes whose names change, but it still doesn't work.

From what I changed, I removed the hashtag, as in the guide, and changed the names from Angola to Georgia.

When I replace my file with a clean one in which I have not changed anything and change only one name in it, the problem also appears.

You need to put Polish then, not polski

do i only do this for the most recent update, can i delete older updates folder like 2300

This download should be installed in all the folders, as explained in the instructions.

what about logos do i need to download all updates since the release or just the megapack 

As a premium member, just download the most recent full megapack direct from the site and you'll be fine. If you have any issues with it, best to post in the technical support thread/forum for that pack, not here 👍

Hi all,

Brand new to FM23 (played older FMs) Downloaded this pack and followed the install to the letter, still not changing the teams/badges/logos etc.

I've added some screenshots to show that the files are in the right place and I get the 9 options when starting a new game, all ticked.

Can someone help me?

Are you talking about graphics or data in the game?

FYI @mons this is from the real name fix file

@cameosis this isn't anything to do with the data update and is related to the real name fix which is different, which is why i'm replying in this different thread 🙂

I'll look to sort it for the FM24 version of this file 👍

all good, thanks for your heads-up and the quick response! 👍

Do i have to delete the config xml file inside the editor data folder after i paste in the files from the editor data folder from the fix file? or can i just leave it there?

No need to touch that at all.

Hey great help - quick one, I've downloaded FM through Epic Game setup via Amazon Gaming but don't have the full pathway - I don't have the data-database-db-2300 so I can't effect the download & place it anywhere, is their an alternative?

Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\FootballManager2023\data\database\db\2300

I don't have Amazon Gaming, so can't help much, but if you do a search in the game installation folder for files ending with .lnc, you should end up in the right locations.

WARNING: For everybod who have got the game through Epic Games (I suppose they'll be a lot since it's free there), the Program Files file is called FM23. I spent around an hour to find it through PC files searching for keyword ‘football’. The complete filepath for the changes above is C:\Program Files\Epic Games\FM23\data

I just got it from there and it is properly included. 

thank you!
