Yes, this is because the lnc file does not change the three letter names but only the long and short name.

 

With the tools I had in hand at beta stage, I could only edit the top 2 of the below fields. Once I got my hands on the editor on Monday, I could edit the lot of them, but these would only apply once/if you started a new game.

 

Ok mons, thanks.

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?

Im in the exact same boat. Just started a new game to check things out and Beta fix is still working.

 

I continued a saved game, and everything remained as it was in the Beta.

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?

There will be a new pack/updated pack with only 22-23 kits before release - currently working on it.

 

Ok, thank you!

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.

Must admit i wasn't sure if they could be set to play wider either Though being at work myself i can't check either.

You can try them both as IF's and i'm certain you can set them to player narrower as well (again you'll have to check) and try to give them PI's to get them as close to an SS and AM as possible but again this does largely change the shape of the side but no harm in trying i guess.


Ok, will give it a try

Thanks a lot VP.

Thanks for the comments, its good to see others have success with it

Personally i'd set the players to move wider rather than change the whole shape of the team as it meant to be a more centrally attacking tactic. As for the PI's that's totally down to yourself if you wish to change them, i personally don't like tactics with too many instructions as i feel it can over complicate things. Now i'm saying that doesn't mean they won't make the tactic better, i prefer to keep things as simple as possible.

I may look into making another couple of tactics in the coming weeks with completely different formations to this one. I'd like to try and recreate a couple of old Arsenal tactics, one from the late 80's (a 5-3-1-1) which saw us win 2-0 at Anfield to win the title and the other from start of the Wenger years which would be more of a 4-4-2.


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' To be honest, I wrote this post at work & while writing it, I wasn't sure about the PIs available. As soon as I went home, I checked & they don't have a 'Stay Wider' option.

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'm playing with Ajax because I have too much respect for Klopp ). Anyway, I'll be looking forward to your tactics because, as I said, I really like this one & I'm sure you're capable of producing even better ones

Hi VP. I'm using your tactic (First version | Attacking) with my Ajax team & I found it quite good. I'm in November 2016 (started recently) & we're top of the Eredivisie at the moment. In the CL, we managed to qualify for the Group Stage but I don't think we'll manage to achieve 2nd place. Currently we're 3rd & we must win vs Napoli & Leicester lose in order to qualify for the Knockout Stage. Anyway, considering that it's a very young team, I'm quite satisfied

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 but do you have any suggestions for additional PIs to further improve the tactic please?

Thank you in advance for your assistance

I have the same problem with my iMac. I added the Cut-Out-Facepack to the correct folder and used fmXML for the iMac. But it still doesn't work. The club logos are working just fine


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.

Mate, I'm not a computer expert. I have no idea if that is a top-notch PC, but you seem to think it is so I have no reason to doubt you. I have a medium-to-high grade PC and it takes me 2 minutes to load the game with my 20 GB graphics folder, so it really shouldn't be taking you anywhere near as long if you have a decent set-up tbh.

I know those are what I recommended, and I stand by them, but some people have had quicker results, for some reason, if the "Use caching to decrease page loading times" box is unticked - try and give it a go yourself and let me know if it helps.


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

Is an Apple iMac Retina 4K 21.5" Core i5 8Gb 1TB a poor computer?!

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.

Can I have a screenshot of your cutout megapack folder, including the contents?

There's over 8GB of images to load - so it's to be expected that it takes a while to load first time round. How long are you giving it before hard-quitting the game?


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.

Hi.

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.
