FM26 Mac Users - Logos/Kits/Faces don’t work

Hi all,

since the beta is live, i have been trying to find a way to make the logos/kits/faces appearing in FM26 on Mac. I have updated the back end files as usual but this year there is no option in the game to refresh the data. 
i can see from different forum/redit/youtube that no one suceeded.

any tips here ?

thx !

It's not just Mac mate, I'm on Windows and can get Logos and Kits but not Faces. Done the standard file structure like you said you did too. 

At the moment anytime I put in the sortitoutsi facepack my game just crashes. Also on Mac. 

Restart the game, mine works

the same…also mac

I did it already many times. Apparently there is a real blocker for Mac users.

yeah seems to be an issue doesn't work on Mac , can someone tell me the correct file structure 

Here also on Mac doesn't work try many times. Whit no results

I thin I found a way from on a youtube video comment

• On Mac, on Finder click on "GO" on the Tab bar on the top of your screen, then click on the keyboard on “Option”.
• You will see “ Library” appearing
• Go on “Application Support”
• Then “ Sports Interative”
• Football Manager 26
• Create the “graphics” file
  • Paste all the files for Logo, Kits, Faces.

It works for me, All the logos are not updated in the game, but I have a lot of new one.

Let me know guys 

There is no problem for Mac Users, maybe you use the wrong folder structure? For me my old cutout player faces work (taken over from FM24) and also my newly downloaded kits and logos do.

'/Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 26/graphics/faces'

I think that the game changer is that on some MAC to have the hidden LIBRARY appears, we need to click on the OPTION button on the keyboard.

I cannot even find the fm26 folder on my a

mac. It is not where fm24 was. Any thoughts?

Or just use my link, replace the {username} by the actual Mac username and paste it to go to → go to folder in Finder app.

@Richard, it literally is in the same folder as fm24 was. The only change is, that the folder is called Football Manager 26 instead of Football Manager 2024. Have you started fm26 for the first time? 

no I am haven’t booted up the game yet. Was going to add graphics first. Does it make a difference if I haven’t started a game yet? As the folder is 100% not there currently.

The Fm26 directory you need to replace the lnc, edt and dbc folders is located:

/Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/PlugIns/game_plugin.bundle/Contents/Resources/shared/data/database/db/2600

(Obviously "YourName" is your own username)

For your graphics you can verbosely state where your Football Manager 2026 folder is so that you don't have to have everything on the one partition of your hard drive if you have partitions. So my MAC drive has a partition called “Scratch”. I keep the Application installed on my "Macintosh HD" partition and then I instruct the FM26 game to look for the graphics in my other partition called “Scratch.

Normally for a MAC, FM will make a Sports Interactive folder in your Documents? But if you right click on the FM26 game within your steam game abnd bring up this window you can verbosely state where you would like to have your Football Manager 2026 sundry files (and also your graphics folcer which you will create containig your logos and custom fa epacks and kits) - Not all kits are working and I don't know why and there is no “Disable caching” in the Beta release just yet so that could be a problem.

Folders will be created once you start the game for the very first time. This has already ever been the case. Start the game, user folder will be created and exit the game. That would have cost you a fraction of the time you spent writing your comments ;-)

All missing kits I found so far was an error in the kits‘ folder xml file. E.g. For Real Madrid the package says real_madrid1.png while the xml file consists a realmadrid1.png. 
 

so far no issue with the fm but with the downloaded files lacking quality. 

I found the cause of the “not all custom kits working” - basically in my logos folder I had another folder called “2DLeftOfKits” and this was a legacy folder from the days I was trying out aa version of FlutSkin which specifically creates a folder within “Logos” and populates it with custom kit images as part of the skin. Basically the Config.xml was mapping these kits to a folder no longer used within the new version of FM26 so that's why some kits worked and some didn't. Once I deleted everything within the legacy “2DLeftOfKits” folder - everything in my normal “kits” folder was being mapped correctly and I could see all my custom kits in-game once I restarted FM26.

 If you have the more unsual case where you see some kits but not others I'd look for this kind of problem:

1. Older/legacy folders containing older kits that aren't being used
2. Folders that you've copied accidentally somewhere within your graphics folder without realizing

The same with things like logos and facepacks. 

Hi

I have been following tips below as I am having difficulties seeing any changes in fm26 (mac) I’ve tried adding kits, logos, faces, backgrounds and nothing comes through. At first I tried copying over the files that worked in fm24. Now I have installed new serie A and La Liga kits purpose built for fm 26 but still no luck. I have attached the graphics file screengrab, can anyone please see anything wrong or something that would suggest why no updates have come through? I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and quit the game each time to upload the cache but still no joy… 

thanks for any help!

Hey James i'm on a Mac to but I don't have any problem with it. As you can see, I left just one folder. I've understand that for a coding thing, the game at the moment can't stand more than one file with the same name. So thinking about that, i've removed the others folder. With this file system works on my mac

Hi, I am on MAC and having the same issue of face packs and logos not working. I have created the graphics folder and then created faces and logos folder. Restarted the game and nothing. Above is the file path where the folder is located. Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Wrong folder you have to place it in Users/Name/Library/Application Support / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 26/ graphics/

I FOUND THE SOLUTION 

/Users/(YOUR USERNAME)/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 26/

search for this in your finder and put the graphics folder there 

THANK ME LATER

Hi guys, I tried placing the new cutout pack in the football manager folder after creating a new graphics folder but everytime I try to start the game it gets stuck at the loading screen. Game works fine if I delete the folder. Anyone facing the same issue? 

Mac user here!

Still doesn't work for me. I literally tried everything I could found on internet, reddit or other forms. With fm23 you just put them in the graphics folder and put a FM XML on it. Why is it so hard now

that's wired. I'm on Mac and I can load Cut-Out, 3D and Kits

Give it times … when i open the game … may mac needs about 5-8 minutes to load before I get to the start screen. Cut-Out is huge and needs time. At least to me

Florian, you sir deserve a medal, I have been trying to get my logo packs to work for days. 

Hi guys,

I've got the main cutouts, logos etc installed, but also got the new DB update with players like dowman, JJ Gabriel and so on. I've downloaded cutouts for them, updated the config,xml with r-UID, but still it's showing as a blank profile. The only difference I can see is the sortitoutsi cutouts have faces and icons this year. Do I need to update both config.xml for this to work? 

Is there any way to get cutouts to work for created players?
