#689511 Download of Data Update

Hello, I am pretty sure I put my other message in wrong section!

 

I am currently watching Hood Gaming's ‘How To Play FM23 Right Now’ and I was told to install the FM22 Data Update file. When I try and install it, it doesnt download as a .zip and instead comes as a folder. In this folder is one xml file. If this is ok, I then have a second issue, when he reloads the game, he is presented with ‘Custom Start Date’ in Africa  in the photo attached. I however do not have access to this (also attached) 

 

Any help will be of great use! 

 

Thanks

Thanks. My question is, the path that you said was wrong currently works for me. I am gonna keep it the same as I'm having no issues with them being in the ‘wrong’ folder. If I put Tavares and Okonkwo in the ‘correct’ folder, will they use assets from both the ‘wrong’ and ‘right’ folder. 

 

Sorry if I didn't explain well

 

P.S. I got the updated Okonkwo render, thanks!

That doesn't seem to be the correct installation folder for custom graphics on a Mac. I'm copying the below from the FAQ and installation instructions. Do take the time to check them out if need be 😉

 

From FM20 onwards, there's been a substantial change to how Mac FM documents are stored. Previously the files would automatically go in the Documents folder here:

Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 202x

 

Now the files will instead appear in the following location:

Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 202x

 

By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:

 

Open Finder

Click ‘Go’ from the menubar

Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key

This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 202x’

 

The preferences should look like in the below screenshot:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ddxsJBZ1AGXdLpBKoLPUMRzid79j9iur1rCL2yIN.png

 

To get them to look like this, navigate to your preferences on the welcome screen or by using the drop-down menu near the top right of the menu within your save game.

Choose the advanced tab (the blue square within the screenshot above) and select all from the drop-down menu on the right (the red square within the screenshot above).

Scroll down to the interface section near the middle of the list, where you are to make sure that:
• the “Use caching to decrease page loading times” box is unticked
• the “Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences” box is ticked

After clicking confirm, it may take a few seconds or minutes for all the graphics to be loaded and you should now see all the graphics you have downloaded appear in your save game.

Once your skin is reloaded, you can re-tick the "Use Caching to Decrease Page Loading Time" button so that the splash screen at the start takes a lot less longer to load. However, the above process needs to be undertaken every time you add graphics to your game to ensure that the game "reads" them.

 

P.S. Okonkwo has a more recent cut-out than the one you're using, which is from 2019 😉

 

Ok thanks! I have located the new folder, I saved all the other files for kits, trophies, faces etc. in the one I put Okonkwo and Tavares in. If I put Okonkwo and Tavares in the newly located folder will it take resources from both folders?

Adding images to the megapack
N.B. Any teampacks and individual images are included in each update pack; this is for the impatient who want cuts to be included in their MP folder before then.

1. Save the image(s) to a temporary folder (e.g. Desktop or a folder in there)

2. Copy the image(s) into;

- My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 201x/graphics/your MP folder 

Overwrite only if you are absolutely sure as the previous image will then be lost!

3. Use fmXML (or a similar program) to rebuild the config.xml file to reflect the new changes.

4. Load up FM, to confirm that the new cut/s has/have appeared.





Getting an Individual picture to appear in game:

1) Save your chosen picture as the correct ID into the following folder:
My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 201x/graphics/anywhere apart from your MP folder
(You may need to create the last 3 folders)

2) Next you need to create a config file, (the file that links the game to the image) and put it in the folder "Individual" with your picture. 
You can download fmXML (Instruction Video) which will do it automatically for you. Save it.

3) Go back to your game prefs and untick "Show unique IDs" click confirm and hey presto your picture should be there.


Any questions, please feel free to ask. 

Thanks for this! Followed all steps, including unticking and ticking on preferences and refreshed but still doesnt seem to be loading into the game, I have attached an image with the 2 players and at the bottom shows the path to where I put them. Any help would be great!

Thanks, is there a way for me to add my own faces, for example if I only downloaded a league face pack, could I add my own random players that I would want and if so, how could I do that?

Thanks, new to the site so dont know all the know-hows haha. So in theory, you need to have about 50GB for the pack as you need to keep the extractor file for the files to extract out of if you understand me?

Just click “download complete” on this page: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/1/download 

 

No need for uTorrent 😀

 

Ok thanks! Do I need to use WinRAR after it installs? Also one thing, I am a graphic designer and was wondering wether I could help with the face pack or anything next year?

@Footygamer Hello, I have bought premium and I have installed face pack. Is there a guide to download with premium as when I watch YouTube videos it seems that they have to use uTorrent, something I believe I dont? I then think I have to use WinRAR but not sure at the moment

That's a PayPal error and not something we can help with directly.

 

I think you need to add a bank account or a credit card to your PayPal account to get around it. I.e. have a backup source if your balance is 0

 

Ok thanks for your quick reply. If this proceeds to be an issue, is it possible to pay via bank transfer?

@Footygamer Hello, I am not sure wether this is the right place to do this but when I try and purchase premium, it gives me an error message even though I know I have sufficient funds to purchase. I have attached an image of the error. Is there a way to pay via bank transfer?

 

Thanks.
