If you try and access FM24's files you'll find they're all compressed in a format called .fmf that you can't access.

 

 

Not to worry though, SI have given us a tool to open these files called the “Football Manager 2024 Resource Archiver”

 

It needs to be run and installed separately within Steam, to do so simply search “Resource Archiver” in your library and it should pop up.

 

 

Once opened you'll be greeted with a very simple screen with 3 available options in the bottom right

  • Extract Archive
  • Create Archive
  • Browse Archive

 

Just click “Extract Archive”

 

 

You'll now have to click the dropdown menu at the top to browse for where the files are on your system, the most common places are:

 

Windows

Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2024\data

 

Xboxgames\Football Manager 2024\data
 

Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\FootballManager2024\data

 

Mac 

Users/<Your Name>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2024/data

Users/Shared/Epic Games/Football Manager 2024/data

 

Browse to the correct location and then choose a file you want to see.

 

There are alot of files in there a simple one test with is hints.fmf which just gives XML files containing the ingame hints that pop up during loading screens.

 

graphics.fmf is also a popular one as it includes key graphics that appear in the game.

 

Beyond that i'm afraid it's a bit of trial error depending on what you want to find.

 

How to extract an FMF File

To extract an FMF file you have to:

  • Click “Extract Archive” and browse for the games files. 
  • Double click on a file name
  • Browse for a folder on your computer to extract it to. I would suggest creating a folder such as “My Documents/FM24 Files”
  • Click “Select”
  • After it has loaded, browse to the folder you chose to see your files.

 

And that's it. Unfortunately there are 35 different files so it may take an hour or so to extract them all if you really want to have a poke around.
