FM20 Adboard Patch - V1.4 Out Now!!!

Brilliant Rab, thanks for all work on it as always, some job.

You do know that you can add this file after you start a new game, don't you? Most graphics can be added in the middle of a save game, after all.

One question, have you to install all the patches in order? Or just installing the 1.4 is it enough?

Just wait till later today when v1.0 of the FM21 is slated to be released and you'll have everything in one download 😉

You can actually use the new adboards anytime you want, even on an older save. Starting a new save/career is not required.

Sorry i can't understand where i have to put the "how to stop Bidstack Ads" folder, can someone helps me please ?

Riccardo, the new up to date version is due for release tonight. It might be best to wait for that and follow the instructions that come with it.

For those who have missed it all FM21 content will appear in this forum: https://sortitoutsi.net/forums/25/football-manager-adboard-patch

Hi, sorry to bother but I sill have the black adboards in my FM21.

I've checked the location and it's ok.

I renamed the folder from HD to SD and still black… 

My graphic settings are “Very High"

 

I really cannot understand what is happening.

So I just finished reinstalling your mod a total of 5 times (lol but seriously, great works Rab!). The static ads work every time, but the video adboards are black no matter if I left the name as “hd” or “sd”. I also made sure to follow the sequence of versions (1.0 → 1.0 update / 1.1 → 1.2 update → 1.2.1 / Dortmund fix → CL fix → 1.3 → 1.4), alternated between the XML files and played around with graphics (Medium to Very High) and it is still black

 

Attached are the folders as they are on my PC. What did I do wrong?

Your xml file is too small, it was  1600kb+ for clubs, lower for no clubs

Which is weird since, having just checked the original ZIP file for the 1.4 update, the Club XML clocks at 1105 KB only and the No Club one (which was on the screencap I provided) is 364 KB. And the older versions of those 2 are even smaller

 

Maybe the new versions for FM21 made those files bigger? ‘Cause I made sure not to modify any of the files after I downloaded it from here and they are still less than you said 😢

RIP
