This file will need to be re-applied if/when official patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, do NOT apply in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2022 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players. These are all fully save-game compatible.
There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for Brazilian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian (including Juventus) and French clubs, as well as Manchester Utd, to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. Another editor data file creates the Ajax non-playing staff and the German national team manager missing from the database due to licensing restrictions. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.
Follow the below instructions to install this version of this file

You can find these folders by clicking, in the Finder, the Go menu in the menu bar, then choose Go to Folder and type the folder path name (obviously inserting your username), then click Go.
You can get to the Library folder by simply selecting Go from the top bar and holding "alt" key - The Library folder suddenly appears on the drop down menu
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.
For those struggling to find the Steam and Steam Apps folder etc using Mac with the new OS High Sierra, this link below shows how you can unhide your Library folder which will then let you find the other folders.
STEP 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the downloaded pack
STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.
These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 2240 folder:
dbc:
dbc/permanent:
edt/permanent:
lnc:
STEP 4:
COPY the 11 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack
STEP 5
PASTE to \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\editor data
This is also the same folder to be used for Gamepass.
As stated by SI themselves, for Gamepass, however:
You are not able to change the user data location as such but you can use the user data folder in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022 to store facepacks and graphics.
Equivalent folder for Mac
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive
By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:
Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2022’[/spoiler]
This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, Japanese and German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not immediately. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players, who are not in the official database and will need a third-party add-on to be created and added.
Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.

All added. Thanks 🍻
Thanks for the heads-up, will make sure to remove this club name change in the next version 👍
mons
I've checked the files and I suspect the reason is because you're not playing in the English language. The club name changes via the lnc files will only work for English, whereas the club name changes via the editor data file (not accessible prior to the release of the game and the editor) will work for all languages.
Could you try changing languages and letting me know if the issue is resolved in English but apparent in other languages?
kamackeris
Hey guys. Do you guys know if there is any way to get the real name fix on series x? And the real player pics? I have game pass and I would like to play this in my living room and not be unsociable to my girlfriend? Also can this be used on the pc game pass version?
mons
No idea how xbox or gamepass work, I'm afraid…

Depends which of these packs you use 😕 Most will have a request thread in which to post the images.
As luck would have it, I edited the first two already and I've done the other two now too.

it was more to up date the website database
mons
@Carsie, not sure renaming Windsor Park is really necessary, is that how people refer to it? All the other awards added 👍
Then post them here, together with their UID.

I've set my DB language to English but it does not resolve the issue. I see in the LNC that the names are not specified for the B-teams? Maybe you could also add them with “Dutch" at the end; that should resolve it.
Maybe I can look into it this weekend and send you over the lines to add to the file?
mons
That would be great and save me a bit of work…

After applied the fix , I still have Zebre Stadium for Juventus
Is only bug for now , other names are fine
kizawski
I think you can only correct that one after the game launches as it has to be done via in-game editor.
Kraake
Will there be a fix for Ajax staff?
gunner2003
When i do this, all nicknames for German clubs are gone. Is there anyway to fix this?
wfm18
Yes, just like last year. Could you collect data on staff members? I know for example last year we had Carlo L'Ami in there while he quit. So we need some up-to-date info.
Marko12101983
Downloaded BETA version of the game and did all the steps explained by @mons but 1 question, please? Will I have original Juventus 2021/2022 season kits when I start a new save game?
wfm18
Will be changed with an editor file, we have to wait for the full release to be able to create those.
mons
Read the first post. This will be resolved when the full game is released.
This would be great to have. Let me know if anybody's left from last year's Ajax staff complement or been added, and I'll be sure to have it in place.
Read the first post. Some bits of the Juve fix, including kits, can only be in place when the full game is released.
Marko12101983
I have a licensed version of FMRTE22. Will that help? Also, what about the kits?
Marko12101983
Thanks Mons!
Yevgeniy Mishchenko
It didn't fix Juventus training ground and Stadium???? Everything else is good
mons
Needs the full game and the editor for this fix to work, as is outlined in the main post and several times in this thread already.
Yevgeniy Mishchenko
I just read that stadium name and training ground can only be changed after full release. Thank god I got to the bottom of it but why do all these people on Facebook fm scout group saying that everything has been changed for them since real name fix. Are they all lying to me?
mons
Speak to them then, this is not the FM Scout Facebook group 😕
Marko12101983
Fuck FM Scout. The only upper hand they have is Knap tactics. For everything else, Sortitoutsi.net is better.
