Frequently Asked Questions

If you've never downloaded the pack before, you should just download the larger "complete pack".

If you're not a premium member, it is recommended that you download the base megapack via torrent by going to our cut-out megapack download page. After which, you should then download all the update packs released to date and apply them chronologically.

If you're a premium member, just download the most recent complete pack.

If you already have a version of our Cut-Out Faces Megapack installed, then click "Download Latest Changes" and you'll be presented with a list of all the updates we've released since you've last downloaded a file. Simply download any you might have missed, applying the oldest first and continuing to apply update packs in the chronological order in which they were released.

Contrary to previous versions of the game, there is no need to change any settings in the preferences in FM26.
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.

Watch this YouTube tutorial video, which should you guide you on the steps you need to follow to install it. It might be for FM24, but the steps are exactly the same.
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.
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 👍
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).

As a premium member, you can download the entire megapack directly from the site in one file.

 

If, for whatever reason, you prefer to get the torrent, it can be downloaded from here.

The FM22 torrent contains every single image included in the megapack till then.

 

We don't remove players' images from the megapack. For one thing, we don't necessarily know they've been removed, and secondly it'd be an immensely arduous and time-consuming thing to do.

This is nothing to do with “new to FM”… As you can see the file size from your screenshot, sure you expect the file should be bigger than 0kb. 

 

Assume that the file is alright on the sharing services site, there are several possible reasons, e.g. network problems or download limit. So, may try downloading again later (wait for a while after completing a file), downloading one file at a time, or select another file hosting service (if any).

Make sure it's installed properly.

 

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. 

 

You should have 491,000+ images in your faces folder - is that the case? If not, you haven't the full megapack. If you think you're OK, can you make a search in the graphics folder of 85139014 (the UID of Mbappe)?

 

Before you take a screenshot, can you sort the results in the manner outlined below?

 

This can be achieved by posting the UID in the red circle, choosing the view tab via the blue circle, the details option in the black circle and making sure the folder column in the green circle is long enough to display the full path.

 

When you run the search, can you change the below search options?

 

This will help me see if there is one or more other folders in your user data folder which contains one or more other facepacks, and where that image is coming from within your files…

 

ye i already download the facepack, it have over 900,000 faces and idk why the face is invincible and theres no faces at all. can you help me?

The full megapack has just under 500k images - how do you have 900k??

 

The full megapack's config file is around 34MB - how is yours around 15.5MB?

 

I have no idea what's happened here, but your best way forward is to delete your current faces folder, and download the torrent + update packs.

Please delete anything you got (also other face packs), then download the torrent and pay close attention to this video:

Then download the update files and follow the instructions in this video:

Hey guys, in my Facepack Ekitike has a Face of Nuno Mendes from PSG but also Mendes has the Face of Mendes, but another Picture, any guesses why this is so and which picture is misleaging? even if i delete the photo with th ID of Ekitike, the Mendes Picture is ingame from Mendes. Reloading the skin doesnt help

 

I've moved this to here, which is the right place for it.

These are people not in the default database, for whom any cuts you may have aren't part of the megapack.

They're players added via custom data updates or database… The situation is that there are many database, and each adds their own Chido Obi… which means that the player could have a different IDs in your game and my game. So, which should the photo be assigned to? 

 

Facepacks are independent to data updates or custom database anyway… unless they're from the same creators. 

 

 

“Could anyone help?”

You can! May simply assign the photos manually:

Hi! Can someone help me with a problem I have? 

I used to play FM14 with a face pack version 13.0 (FM21 version, if i'm not mistaken) and it worked like a charm. I installed FM24, and with it, I updated the face pack with the last versions, moving it into the FM24 folder. It worked perfectly as well. After that, I moved the graphics folder back to the FM14 folder to play it again. And, for some reason, all faces in the FM14 are glitching now. 

What could be the issue here? Changes in the xml file made for latter FM games? 

Is there a way to fix it, except to download 13.0 face pack version again? I tried to do it, but it's unavailable for the download 😢

The 22.0 torrent file was compressed in a way which has this effect on some images. It is suggested that you download an older torrent file which should not have this issue. Download links for older torrent versions is being made available below. It is recommended that you download the torrent file for the version after the one you’re playing since this will include all the update packs released for that iteration 😉
