No idea what clearing the buffer means. More info is needed, ideally with screenshots.

 

When you say you don't have any photos of players, do you mean you get a blank space instead of the cut-out, or the silhouette? And does this happen for all players, or just some of them?

 

Think its clearing the cache?

With best wishes for the festive season ahead 🍻

 

The same to you mons! Thanks for all your hard work. 🙂

Currently getting a broken zip file error - is there a fix?

 

I had the same with the initial download. I re-downloaded it at 5.20am this morning and that one extracted fine for me just now.

Update 2023.02 is now live and ready to be downloaded 😀

 

The download says it's 66.1GB? Isn't that almost 10x its normal size?

 

Just unpacked it and there's a folder called teams with a sub-folder called teams with a sub-folder called teams…. etc. Each sub-folder has 71,575 files so this is where the 66GB is coming from.

Premium download has now been updated, i'm still testing it myself and will make another torrent when i've confirmed it's definitely fixed.

 

I've just downloaded it and unpacked the file without any issues. Did you find out what the problem was?

Can you try downloading now to see if the problem is still there?

 

And can anyone give an update on if the torrent is working or not?

 

Same error message comes up instantly with 7-Zip. 1.67GB of files end up in the unzipped folder.

I'm getting a “There are some data after the end of the payload data” error message on the 2023.00 rar when I right-click on the file and unpack it using 7-Zip. If I open the file and look inside the sortitoutsi folder the faces directory only appears to be about 1.65GB so although the file is 9.5GB to download the faces folder is the only sub-folder.

 

I downloaded the full pack. I just calculated the checksum of the file: 5b6644110230ee57a260227104baca7a. Does this match the original file on the server?

@Footygamer  I downloaded the whole new 2023.00 pack of 9.52GB.

I'm getting a data after the end of payload data message in 7-Zip with the 2023.00 file.

You can click on this to get it cleared away for the time being

 

I've done that several times before and it never worked. Looks to have cleared the ‘1’ away this time though!

Is anyone else seeing the number 1 in a yellow box next to Downloads but then when they hover over the Downloads text and click on the yellow “1 files need updating” button there's actually nothing there to be downloaded? It's as if the Downloads button on the top nav bar isn't clearing somehow.

Hi @mons and colleagues - Thanks for all you do to make FM a better experience for us. Can I ask what @Footygamer did to compress the pack from 22GB+ to less than 15GB? Were duplicate images removed or has a higher/better compression method been used?

 

Just asking out of interest as 22+ to less than 15GB is a pretty impressive reduction in file size however it was done!

@MarcLister  Sorry about that, it's because we did some renaming and an old link was left. I've fixed it now and it looks like it's working 🙂

 

Yep that's got it now. Downloading it at 3.8MB/sec. Thanks. 🙂

I am trying to download the Steel logos megapack's initial release but clicking on the 'Direct Download' link on this page, https://sortitoutsi.net/media/1409068/download, doesn't seem to work and the page reloads. I have clicked on the Mediafire link and it's downloading at between 80 and 130kB. To compare that with the update packs that I was able to download at 5.1MB and you can see why I'd prefer a direct link to be available, especially as a paying premium member. The pack was going to take over 9 hours to download so I've cancelled it. I was able to download the latest update pack, which is a similar size, in minutes.

 

Is there a direct link available that the button needs to point to?

Same for me. Same file name but ever so slightly very minor difference in file size.

Is there a direct link we can use to download the kits?

Yep, exactly like that. I suppose a weekly email would be useful for some people but a daily one would be what I would choose. 🙂

Would it be possible to have the option to change the subscription notification frequency from immediate to a daily email?

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

If I alter my browser size the column on the right disappears below a certain size. At roughly 1594x894 the column on the right has no white space to its right. After that, say 1596x894 the white space re-appears.

Will there be an alternative, perhaps dark, skin? This new skin has too much white and not enough contrast for me. I do have a 3440x1440 so that probably means I'll see more of a white background than most but the site is just a big block of white for me and it's a bit too much.

Yeah I've got that too. I couldn't work out why that column was so wide.

Brilliant explanation of xG. Thanks!

I think it's where there's two images with the same filename but one is of a .png format and the other is a .PNG format.

Hi Mons. Thanks. I could just do this for Premier League clubs.

Is there a way to force FM to use the long name of a club rather than the short name? So instead of Man Utd it would say Manchester United etc?

I don't know which file to edit to force FM to do this, if it is possible at all.

Hey mons. Cool, thanks. I always unpacked the zip and got the duplicate file message from 7-Zip so I assumed there were loads. I decided to check last night how many there really were by doing each file clash one at a time and was surprised it was only 2!

I've found two sets duplicate files with the same name, different dates and sizes. In both cases it looks like one has an extension of .png and the other .PNG.

They are 91185039 and 768274. The 91185039 are both the same size and of the same person but different photos. In one you can see a red shirt collar and in the other you can't. https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2020/player/91185039/tarsis-bonga

One of the 768274 is 180x180 the other is 250x250 but both are of the same person and are the same photo it appears. https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2020/player/768274/jan-roger-angvik

I've done that now. Looks better. Thanks.

I have placed the files in S:\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\textures\crowd\ and I can't really see any change. I've set Steam to look at the S: drive for my graphics so I know this is OK. I didn't have a textures folder in S:\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\ so perhaps the game wasn't looking for a folder there?

It took me 4 goes to finally get the megapack to download successfully last night. Downloading through Firefox and not with any download manager.

Ah, OK. I'll try that. Thanks.

Hi mons. All sorted now. Thanks.

OK, I'll move the graphics back to the default folder and see if that helps.

I did it originally to save space on my C: drive but I think I can get some space back from other things to make it viable.
