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.
Watch this YouTube tutorial video, which should you guide you on the steps you need to follow to install it. You need to use Winrar (or a similar program) to extract the downloaded file.

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).

apart from that, some of the mirror links aren't working: Part 2, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Both Links won't start the downloading stating website elapsed time overload. 

dlsite doesn't seem to work for any of the files.

Hi everyone,

 

I play FM17 and I'm trying to download the Cut-Out Player Faces Facepack for it.

Unfortunately, all of the download links are dead and the torrent won't start to download for over a day.

I'm not sure where to report this, but I assume this is the right place.

Is there any way to get the links or the torrent updated?

Also, I have a second question:

Would the FM24 facepack work with FM17?

 

Thanks!

I'm afraid the torrent depends entirely on how many people are seeding it. As a 9 year old file, you will appreciate its limited availability.

 

Unfortunately, due to a change in file compression methods to decrease download size, the most recent mega pack most probably won't work with FM17 either…

Hey everyone, I've recently downloaded the extra pack for the New Players which include Chido and Bah, however, there seems to be an issue that they aren't appearing in the game? Everything extracted like the megapack which is working fine, This is the first issue i've had with graphics, just wondering if anyone has had these issues or might know what to do to get it working?

The new players aren't part of the cut-out faces megapack due to the variable UIDs, so I'm afraid I can't help much there 😢

Cheers for the reply Mons, appreciated. Not to worry.

 

Funnily enough, they weren't working before, and I've just had a look at a new save and they seem to be working 🙂

Can you provide us with screenshots? Both in-game, and also of your faces folder.

I'm not seeing a question in there 😕

 

In the above screenshot, you cropped out the most important bit - the amount of images within it, shown in the bottom left. Moreover, there's an error in the path and you seem to have it on One Drive.

 

When you have a blank space instead of a cut-out, it means that the cut itself isn't within the folder (or the game isn't finding it).

 

a) You should have over 500k images in your faces folder. If not, you should delete what you have and download the entire megapack from scratch.

b) Remove the FM user data folder from OneDrive, because syncing issues might be behind this.

Good afternoon, managers! When I downloaded the new player file, I already had the megapack and all the updates downloaded. I installed it and reloaded the skin. When I did, it deleted all my photos except those in the new file. I'm guessing it's a configuration file issue. Any ideas, please? Thank you very much.

You should not have installed it into the megapack folder, but in a separate one.

 

To get the old config back to show the images in the megapack, download the most recent update pack and get it from there 👍
