By using the below attachment and de-selecting the highlighted option in the preferences menu I have now played though 5 games without seeing any bidstack video ads.

Download the attachment and paste to this location: C:\Users\YOUR PC USER NAME\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\Preferences\version 2\channels

This may not work for everyone

Do you perhaps know the equivalent folder on a Mac?

#414727 The FM18 Adboard Patch - V1.4 Out Now

THe adboards work perfectly in the Premier League, Europa League etc. But I'm playing in the Dutch Eredivisie right now and there I don't have the proper adboards. Only black boards when I play in a stadium with digital adboards and generic Football Manager adboards (with the FM logo) in stadiums with normal adboards (non-LED). When I play in Europa League the adboards work fine.

My folder contains Eredivisie adboards but they don't seem to work. Anyone an idea?

IMO this would be too messy as if one pack is missed or installed in the wrong order it’ll create a load of issues and to be honest I get enough daft questions about things which have addressed multiple times (such as black adboards and shirt numbers) that I don’t really want to add to that

Yeah that's fair enough.

I'll just wait till you release the new version. Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure I may do the same as last year and release an update once I'm halfway through the EPL clubs.

Is it possible to manually update our versions with separate adboard files? Like the ones you post in the posts such as Burnley, Brighton etc.

I also named the folder fonts instead of font and now they work after the renaming to font.

To fix the shirt numbers then download the fonts folder in my earlier post. (page 5)
The black boards is not really something I can help with although...
If you use or have used another pack along with this pack then please delete all traces of it before installing, this worked for me regarding black boards.

Where do I have to put the three font files?
I'm using a Mac.

- Directly inside the simatchviewer_uncompressed folder as three separate files?
- In a subfolder fonts in simatchviewer_uncompressed ?

I'm playing the FM 2018 Beta on my iMac 5K and Macbook 12" Retina but my game isn't Retina sharp
Previous versions of FM were crispy sharp on my Retina displays.

Any idea?

/edit: Nevermind. It's a Beta issue so it seems.

I just played the Community Shield with Manchester United against Leicester City. But I only see the dynamic adboard from Gatorade and Pepsi.
When I check the FM.xml which is in /Users/Rick/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2017/ads folder .. I see a lot more video_adboards for the Community Shield.

<record id="2082" path="video_ads/england/community shield/cs" animated="true"/>
<record id="2083" path="video_ads/generic/ladbrokes" animated="true"/>
<record id="2084" path="video_ads/england/generic/lidl" animated="true"/>
<record id="2085" path="video_ads/england/community shield/mcdonalds" animated="true"/>
<record id="2086" path="video_ads/england/generic/ee" animated="true"/>

The video's are within the folders:

/Users/Rick/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2017/data/sigfx/videos/hd/video_ads/england/community shield
/Users/Rick/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2017/data/sigfx/videos/hd/video_ads/generic

Any idea how to fix this? Because the strange thing is, the Gatorade and Pepsi adboards aren't being mentioned above, for the Community Shield adboards.

/edit: uhhh.. just played my first Premier League game. Home at Old Trafford (with Man Utd) against Everton and again, only the Gatorade and Pepsi adboards....

It's on page 200.
It doesn't come out when searching for it. Strange.

Found the Home kit indeed. Now let's wait for the Away and Third kit.

Can I use these adboards also in FM 2016?

Because the location for those adboards are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures\ads\
