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.

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.

There's no place hosting the config.xml file in isolation. However, the quickest way to grab the latest one is to get the most recent ‘update pack’ (2026.01) from here: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/1/download. It's only ~500Mb and contains the full config.xml file. Significantly quicker than re-downloading the whole megapack, of course.
zoebyr
Thnx i already did that,
SOLVED!

Hello it may have taken a second to activate it looks like you've since been able to download the Standard Logos directly.
Jan Johansson
Hey.
I downloaded and installed this mod and it works fine.
But im just wondering, i made my own player based on myself by editing him and now when i installed the pack hes black but im not.
Is there any way i can edit that specific player?
rokidi
Hello i don`'t have the picture from max eberl in the game-
its in the cut out player pack included
how can i put in the game
mons
Nothing to do with this pack, as far as I can see 😕
It's in the megapack, so if it's not showing, either you don't have the full megapack, or you haven't installed it correctly.
rokidi
On my PC faces are 14,4GB and 517.006 Fotos
is this complete and correct ?
Thanks for help
mons
The number of images is much less, and I suspect you haven't installed it correctly. Never worry, as a premium member, you should just delete what you have and download the complete pack, and you should be fine 👍
rokidi
Thanks a lot

@mons

b13v3r
Thx MOns.
Got a question about fm26? you still need the icons? Since in the 2026.00 megapack there weren't any. And now in the 2 updates there were 2 icons maps again. I only move the normal faces? or am i missing something and i have to move icons also?

@mons
I downloaded the 2026.02 update and processed all images using pngquant (256 colours, metadata removed).
Everything encoded correctly except for two files that failed with a “cannot decode/encode image” error:
https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/1802934/timeline
https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/175550/timeline
Both files consistently trigger the same pngquant error and cannot be processed.
mons
Thanks for that - I'll fix it for the next update pack 👍
rokidi
Ive installed new - now im having 523004 fotos -and 523005 iconfaces
i dont know why
how many fotos must i have?
Thanks

When i try to download the file. At the end when the download is done, it only shows “download” file of 1kb, while it needed 5 hours to download 14GB. Someone a solution?
mons
You're fine - carry on 👍
Where is it saying the downloaded file is only 1kb? Doesn't make much sense if it took you 5 hours 😕
rokidi
sorry its not fine,because the picture from max eberl isnt in the game and some others are also missing ( Zickler)
do i have to stat a new game?
Sorry
mons
No you don't need to start a new game.
What are the UIDs of those 2 people?
rokidi
1623 and 1282
also missing for example 8152561 NGalula and 28101209 Danks
pictures are in graphics Faces
mons
In-game, do you get an empty space where their face should be, or do you get the default silhouette instead?
Do you, perchance, have any other facepacks within the graphics folder in addition to the megapack?
rokidi
In Game i get a black shilouette
I Installed New Players Megapack 31,73m
