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 👍

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.

To be fair, I don't know what SISI graphic pack is but if you have a facepack already, it probably has the faces that are already in the game (the licensed ones.).
If you have a facepack with a face that is already in the game, the game will use the face from the facepack.

sorry to be clear - I am using the cut out faces mega pack. I am playing Newcastle as my team but all the pics form cut out faces megapack are quite dated and preferred the new FM licensed pics, I was hoping there was a way to keep the new FM licensed pictures whilst adding the mega pack for the unlicensed - the best of both worlds
bigpole
In that case, you have to remove all the pictures one by one from the megapack. Which is time-consuming. Maybe someone will create updated packs for Premier League teams and in next facepack update you will have all the toons faces you want. But that's a maybe.
JBFM
Thanks dude maybe I’ll try a few manual edits for a few players
p.s if anyone wants to do this in the next 24 hours I will pay £20

Hi there, I’m a Mac user and when I try to use the facepack my game crashes on loading screen. I’m positive the file location is correct as well. Any suggestions?
mmello93
How can I install the facepacks for fm26 ?
Jakierobo
Just put them in the graphics folder and restart the game. No need to reload the skin like in 24
talhak
As the title suggests, is there a way to prevent the existing official player/staff photos from being replaced when using the Cut Out Player Faces pack as I'd like to use the official/licensed photos? Thanks in advance for your care.
proahtopot
Did anyone managed to get df11 facepack to work
Shaun Scully
Does the facepack include women players too?

After you used cut-out faces, did you see a white line at the top of the player photo?
mons
This post, despite being 11 years old to the day, answers your questions. This is a community-led project, so if there are any people whose images you particularly think merit immediate replacement, then upload a source and the community will cut them 🙂
The plan is for the megapack to start including them, yes. But the game's not even been out for 10 hours, give us some time 😉
I'm seeing this too, but I don't think it's related to the cuts themselves 😕
AgentGarcia
Hey there :-) I read in the FM Zweierkette Discord that iconfaces are no longer needed and that they can be deleted. Is that true?
mons
Yes, I've just mentioned this in here, in fact 🙂
I'll be tweaking the installation instructions in the coming days to replace obsolete information and to add new details, such as this one 🙂
AgentGarcia
Thank you :-)

Hi, i've tried downloading this pack on torrent (tried web torrent and the app), when the download is 15.9% or 16% in, the estimated time goes from like 30 minutes to several weeks. i've tried to fix this myself in different ways by changing download path etc but i think it might be problem with the file
Luc vdv
I've isolated it to just the facepack, other logopacks and kits are working for me. But the moment I include the facepack the game always crashes in loading screen. Will redownload quickly to see if it works, maybe some files got corrupted.

I have created a graphics folder in documents, placed face packs in there but they're not loading…..any ideas?
w44643233
I know the reason now. From this player faces, it can be seen that the position of the player faces is not aligned. The line above shows the same as the bottom of the player Faces.
adamski82
DF11 faces aren't working. The cutout from sortitoutsi are.
jonmbarlow
Yep that's the one I downloaded…..created a graphics folder in documents but nothing showing in-game
Luc vdv
I've redownloaded and reinstalled the pack and still causing a crash at the same screen in loading up the game. Anyone have any help/advice?

Could someone seed it a bit? It's almost finished downloading. The logo isn't seeded at all, so if anyone can, please do. I'll seed it after downloading, of course.

Let me know if the torrent gets past 99,8%. Mine has been stuck for 2 hours :/
