I have just uploaded the new file for England for FM26. This will be available in the update immediately for those with the Enhanced Data Update and from tomorrow morning (~04:30 BST on 02/06/2026) onwards for those on the free tier.

 

This file contains playable divisions down to Level 11. It contains updated constitutions (promotions/relegations) reflecting 2026/27 down to Level 6 (National League North/South). It contains updated competition histories for the top 6 levels. It does not contain updated individual club histories at this time. It also doesn't reflect last positions/previous divisions - which doesn't have any recognisable gameplay impact as far as I know, but may have some small visibility in some UI elements. It is something we do include in all of our files normally and we will take care of this in a future iteration.

 

I ran into significant validation challenges having done everything down to Level 11 and, in the interests of releasing something for the community, I started from scratch and Level 6 (National League North/South) was as far as I could reasonably go at this time.

 

On its own, this file will not automatically update continental qualification for all teams. This is something I will work on next and I will endeavour to sort this out today, before I travel for work.

 

We will get the deeper pyramid updated; but we will defer that for a short while.

 

Thanks M.C

Trying to understand fully, does this mean in tomorrows release Man Utd still wont be in the champions league in the new update?

Since this weeks update I have noticed that my 3d kit on the landing page of FM26 have now changed colour. It was working fine before that. I have not changed anything other than allow steam to update FM26 this week to introduce the world cup modes. In match however the 3d kit looks fine

 

Any advice?

From the Windows installation instructions above

(3.1) If you have an earlier installation of the stadium megapack, REMOVE them! Failure to do so will result in issues. Do not skip this step!



Also, you should check this video on how to install 3.0 properly:  

 

Really clear video. The first 7 minutes make it really clear how to remove previous installed versions and how to correctly install the new version. I had no issues following this. Also great to see we can trail and error the crowd quality with our personal systems to find the right fit for fps. A huge step forward. Huge congratulations on this release @BassyBoyYT  Here is for hoping you return to England soon and we see some more League One stadiums to really bring the EFL to life.

Apologies but that’s where my skills end haha I am no expert and I haven’t found issues like that but I wouldn’t know how to fix it if I had that issue. Maybe tried uninstall and reinstall everything again?

Hey! When trying to play at Sparta Rotterdam's stadium the game crashes. 

 

Verify through steam to check and everything should be okay after that. I haven't had this issue since

so when you installed the Camera Mod by Exius you should have created a reserve copy of match-assets_assets_all.bundle file. You need to manually delete the match-assets_assets_all.bundle file you installed from the exius download in your folders and then reintroduce the original file that you created a reserve copy of match-assets_assets_all.bundle file. Then download and follow the instructions for @BassyBoyYT Camera plug in and all should be okay. It worked for me.

Ah hadn't seen that, the log stopped at a 4k seater stadium, so that is why I was a bit confused. Uhhh what you could do is to verify through steam to check if all is ok that way.

How do I do that mate?

Hmm odd, this isn't a custom stadium is it? It might just be an FM crash

 

It was old Trafford so yeah one of your custom stadiums. I’m not sure if it’s because I removed the exius camera mod maybe incorrectly to add your camera mod. I did post on the other thread to make sure I was removing the correct file but just went ahead with it

I must have some bad look as since I commented on this thread I have started to get crash bugs now when I start a match in game. The whole thing closes down. First time I have ever had any crash issues 😢 not sure if the log output helps?

Yeah, since the ID changes

 

So you will lose and revert back to default fm stadium style if a new stadium is built due to ID. I guess a stadium expansion wouldnt cause it to revert then as the ID would remain the same?

Has anyone tested to see what happens if in game you have a new stadium built by the board or stadium expansion? Will that then stop a 3d stadium created by Bassy from being showing in match engine?

Yes, otherwise matches will not open at all. 

 

Thanks @BassyBoyYT

 

Do I delete the “match-assets_assets_all.bundle” file and then with the “match-assets_assets_all.bundle.backup" file change back to “match-assets_assets_all.bundle”?

FM26 3D Stadium Megapack Update 2.1 Patch Notes - Crowds are getting dripped out! 

Hey all,

 

After a bit away I've recharged my batteries a little bit and am releasing version 2.1 for the public. Today we'll go over all the patch notes for this version as it releases tomorrow.

 

The biggest feature:

Crowds have been an eyesore for too long, and that is why as of this update many leagues will come with kit packs to drip out the crowds. Besides that, there is also a tool packed with the pack that will let you manually apply whichever kits you want to the crowds of the custom stadiums!

Note, this will not work in generic stadiums.

 

So in terms of new clubs stadia added:

  • Ajax' ArenA revamped.
  • Cheltenham Town's "Whaddon Road"
  • Club Brugge's "Jan Breydelstadion"
  • Juventude BR's "Alfredo Jaconi"
  • St. Johnstone's "McDiarmid Park"
  • Milwall's “The Den”
  • Nagoya Grampus' "Toyota Stadium"
  • Pacos de Ferreira's "Estádio Capital do Móvel"
  • RB Salzburg's "Red Bull Arena"
  • Salford City's "Peninsula Stadium"
  • Sheffield United's "Bramall Lane"
  • Stade de France (Coupe de France version)
  • Vitoria de Guimaraes' "Estádio D. Afonso Henriques"
  • Watford's "Vicarage Road"

 

New Match Balls

  • UEFA Champions League
  • UEFA Europa League
  • UEFA Conference League
  • UEFA Super Cup
  • Maltese Premier Division
  • Keuken Kampioen Divisie

 

Sadly this will not include fixes to the dark newgen faces.

 

League One and Two Stadiums starting to be added! Can't wait to see Mansfield Town's 🙏

I assume you are using Norton 365 @IAmTheStag . The exclusion list can be found under Security > Advanced > Antivirus > Exclusions tab. Include the BepInEx folder in the list. In addition, do check the Quarantine as well. There is a possibility that some files have been marked. If there are, then remove and exclude them from the Quarantine. Also, you may check your Windows 11 Privacy & Security > Windows Security > App & Browser control > Smart App Control = OFF.

 

Regards,

Ahmad Nazly

 

Thanks for the advice. I was able to follow it and get it to work. Unfortunately though I think this mod is too much for my laptop to handle. The match engine is very stuttery and jolty. Switching from 3d match highlights and back to 3d stats page during non highlights takes a couple of seconds to load up every time. And in match highlights sometimes the movement of players isn't smooth like it was before installing. 

I captured some images during match engine. Would this suggest that this mod is too much for my laptop to handle?

Thanks for these tips. I will try them later. I assume by doing this that my Norton will still be active and protect me and that it’s just excluding football manager only?

added an exclusion so hope you are right 🤣

 

Iv also unfortunately just realised I have the malware blocker as I use Norton antivirus and I am not quite sure how to bypass it

 

Are you able to help explain how to do this please? I have the same issue and got the attached. I assume this means norton has deleted some files now that I need to find and reinstall v2.0 and hot fix again once I work out how to add this to my exclusion list in norton?

Hi, I have just downloaded for the first time. I installed Version 2.0. I have also downloaded the 2-0 hotfix. For the hotfix is it just simply copy and paste to add these extra files into the folders or should I be removing something? Thanks

Hi,

 

Has anyone worked out how to get the standard cut out images provided by default in game for FM26? Previous years we could use the FM Resource Archiver? 

 

I am looking for them as I prefer the latest season images even though I know they sometimes are not better quality than the cut out Megapack on here. 

 

I am taking a guess that the file attached it what holds the player cut out images in fm26?

 

Thanks

Hi all, see my comments on https://sortitoutsi.net/content/359/megapack-technical-support-thread?page=337

 

I managed to get it working eventually. In game had show player ID active and check the UIDs for players are aligned to those in the megapacks etc in your files and supporting configs. I found because I had 4 separate cut out folders each with configs and then the sortitoutsi new players, live update and my own personal database all loaded up too that there was conflicts with UIDs when it came to created players added to the game which would cause the facepack configs to get confused.

Finally after hours of trail and error I have got the sortitoutsi megapack, sortitoutsi's new players pack, my personal images to over ride the mega pack and then my pack for personal created database people that aren't in game to all work!

 

For some strange reason having my own created database people in the same megapack as the personal images to over ride the megapack wouldn't work until I split them out into two folders which separate configs. I think it was definatly to do with overlapping UID's from the sortitout new players pack for players not in the game and my own personal created players not in the game UID's. Then it was just a case of trying to order them correct for configs to take priority but the image attached was the final workable order to get things working! 
 

Now onto trying to install the 3d stadium add on!

Thanks for the advice @mons really appreciated as I get to grips with this new modding! 

 

Changing it around seems to have worked for the over rides to prefer personal images over megapack however created players via pre game data editor with images I have added to the apersonal folder with the correct UID's based on game generated are not showing. For these should I not use face_ with them being my created players?

 

I have a similar issue when trying to use the sortitoutsi Facepack for New Wonderkids as non of the images are showing in game for the players created in the extra database even though the UIDs match in game. Image attached
