#711822 FM2023 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v5.0 for FM23.5 [released on 09/05/2023]
LFC Rules
Hi guys,
I continued a saved game from the Beta version, and I downloaded the name fix for the full release. The name fix that I was using for the Beta still worked for the full release, but I still downloaded the one for the full release.
Now, as you can see from the screenshots this is what is happening - only the name on the scoreboard of a CL match is wrong … in this case Napoli. In all other instances of the game, it is displayed properly as Napoli.
Also, I did the workaround as explained in the opening post of this thread, but to no avail.
Is this happening because I continued a saved game from the Beta version please?

Hi guys,
I've updated from the Beta to the official release, and the Real Name Fix file that I used for the Beta seems to be working even with the official release because everything stayed as it was.
Anyone tried this?

Hi guys,
I downloaded the latest Standard Kits Megapacks Version 2022.03 (5 October 2022) & I noticed that they are not the kits for Season 2022/23.
By any chance, are you going to update them anytime soon please?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot VP.

Thanks for your reply VP.
Yeah, I agree ... I think it's better to set the players to move wider rather than change the whole shape of the team. However, after I wrote this post, I checked the PIs of the AM & SS & there isn't an option to 'Stay Wider'
So .... I was thinking about moving them wider physically i.e. as IFs or Wingers. Do you think it will affect the tactic badly? Have you ever tried it please?
Don't remind me about that 2-0 win at Anfield!!!! (PS: I'm a Liverpool fan

I think that, defensively, this tactic is really strong - I went 6 consecutive games without conceding a goal & won all of them for example. And when we don't manage to keep a clean sheet, usually we let in only a few goals. Offensively, it's really good as well - we're the team that scored more goals. I really like the movement & the passing that it produces, especially between the front 5. Also, many goals are scored via through balls & I'm really a fan of those type of goals.
Another thing I like about it is the fact that it doesn't use OIs. I'm not really a fan of them & I totally agree with you when you say that they disrupt the way you want your team to play.
Now ... I know that maybe the Eredivisie is not the hardest league but Ajax have a very young team & with PSV dominating lately, it's not that easy either. Furthermore, Heerenveen & Vitesse are giving me a hard time as well.
Anyway .... I have one small concern with this tactic. Sometimes I see it as too Narrow. Ok, I know that it's set-up to 'Exploit the Middle' & on certain occasions, we do build our play via the Full-Backs / score from a cross. But, there are instances in which we're unable to penetrate the opposition's defence through the middle. So, I was thinking about making it a bit wider when it needs be. What do you suggest please? Do you think it's better to, for example, alter the AM & SS Player Instructions so they get wider? Or it's better to amend the Team Instructions?
And one final thing. I noticed that you've set it up with very few Player Instructions. I'm not complaining about this
Thank you in advance for your assistance

Did you untick "Use caching to decrease page loading times" & tick "Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences" in Preferences > Interface after adding the facepack to the graphics folder?
These two options are very important. I was having the same problem before I figured them out.
Then, once the facepacks are added & the game loads, quit, reload, go again in Preferences > Interface & tick "Use caching to decrease page loading times" so that the game loads faster.

I re-ticked "Use caching to decrease page loading times" & the game loads much faster now. Apparently, this option should be unticked only when adding graphics. After adding them, it should be re-ticked for the game to load faster.
Still using DF11 Megapack but maybe, if I have some spare time, I will try the Cut Out Megapack once again & be patient

Nah ... I'm not gonna wait for half an hour! I will keep using the DF11 Megapack in that case.
"Use caching to decrease page loading times" is unticked - because it says that you should untick it if loading graphics.
"Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences" is ticked - as suggested in the Cut Out Megapack post.

Hi mons ... thank you for your reply.
Yes, it takes a really long time - usually I quit the game after about 10 minutes because I give up.
Yesterday I downloaded the DF11 Player Faces Megapack & they worked. The game still took some time to load but in the end, it loaded & the faces worked. Obviously, it took less time to load because the DF11 has less images.
The only thing that's bothering me though is this: each time the game loads, it stays "loading" for quite some time. Shouldn't it do it just the first time? Do I need to do something else please, like untick / re-tick the settings in Preferences > Interface?
Thanks for your assistance.

I downloaded the Cut Out Player Faces Megapack, the Metallic Logos Megapack & a Kitpack - the Logos & the Kits work fine but the player faces don't! I followed all the instructions & tried numerous times but to no avail. Each time I try to add the player faces, the game stays "loading" but it never loads & becomes unresponsive.
Adding graphics is not new to me because I've been playing FM for a very long time & I've always added them without problems on my previous PC.
Now I have an Apple iMac Retina 4K 21.5" (Core i5 | 8Gb DDR3) & for some reason, I just can't add the player faces.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
