You shouldn't have more than one file with these kind of changes. So if you have another file with changes to the same record, be sure to delete it because the game might be reading it and ignoring your changes.

 

Also, if there are changes in the same record in an editor data file, then they will take precedence over anything you do in an lnc file.

I've checked in all lnc files, no other changes…

And for editor data files, i think that there is only FM21 Sortitoutsi Licenses Fix - Club Name Changes.fmf that could modify the short names.

I think that the only difference between my saved game and a new one is the lnc file content at the creation.

@Crazy Roro 

 

a) You mention “not the same as lnc file in existing saved game, ok with a new game”. Was the existing save game started with a different database to the one the new game was started in? (e.g. 21.3 database and 21.4 database, for example). If yes, then you'll need to change the files in the respective database folder (i.e. 2130 and 2140)

 

b) When you play FM not in the English language, some of the changes don't work exactly as intended. In fact, further down in the Club Name Changes file, there is a whole section for French club name changes in the French language. Try changing those instead.

 

Hello Mons,

 

a) all games started with 21.4. The lnc files are installed in all database folders.

 

b) i've also tried with a file reduced to 4 lines with only two long and short club names modified. The long names are took into account in the existing save game but not the short ones 😢. I've tried also to specify “French” in the name modification and to change the game language to english => same short names

Can you give examples of which clubs this effects? Ideally with screenshots.

 

For exemple with french ligue 1 team :

 

lnc file :

 

short name in the saved game (not the same as lnc file in existing saved game, ok with a new game) :

long name in the saved game (same as lnc file), if I modify it in lnc file, it is updated after game restart

Hello,

 

I've a problem with a saved game (created with the last patch) where the club short names are not updated via lnc file (“City, Club and Stadium Names”).

When i create a new game, the short club names are correct (using the same lnc file).

There is no problem with club long names…

 

Thank you
