The Adboards from 2012 or/and 2013 are not working in FM 2014!

Copied all files (as usual in the past years) in the right directories, but the adboards are not showing/displayed during the 3D matches..... Why?

Is someone there who knows how to let them work??

You have to rename all folder names to lower case, i.e. England > england. Alternately, wait till the FM14 version is released...

Did you reloaded the skins (under preference/interface)?
Note: you have to rename ALL Folder AND Subfolder and Sub-Sub-Folders !!!!! Everything concerning the Adboards!!
(Country-Name, Club-Name, Competition-Name)

I had 1:30 hours work for this.....

In the directory C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2014\ads are two directories: Club Adboards & No Clubs Adboards.
When you want to see the CL-adboards you have to change the fm.xml from one of the two directories mentioned. (i'm not sure why this is so. But when i play in CL i also have only the club's adboards).... Try to copy the fm.xml from one of them to the directory ads. Note: this directories come from the "real name-patch". read the instruction from them!

Now I want to have CL adboards which is not working...i think boards from default directory are used for CL games...I dont know why...

i am using club adboards fm.xml file... but the championsleague-adboards are also with this file not showing.... strange thing

yes, the other countries u have only rename, when you will see them also in other competition in games with those clubs, i.e. EL or CL. if not, the default-ads will be showed!

Read this (copied from the Adboard Thread)

Q. Why are there two different xml files?

A. As the folder names suggest one xml file contains club specific ad-boards and one doesn’t. This has been done as in previous patches people have complained that they see clubs specific ad-boards in cup competitions. Due the way the xml file there is no way around this using code. The only solution would be the use of two files.

For example say you are Arsenal and want Arsenal specific ad-boards in the Premiership and the Champions league ad-boards in the Champions League you would follow these steps;

1. Load up FM with the Club Specific config file in use
2. Play your league game (Arsenal ads will show)
3. Before your Champions League game Save and quit FM14
4. Replace the club specific config file with the non club config file.
5. Re boot FM14
6. Play your Champions League match (Champions League ads will show)
