I'd try completely deleting and re-installing if you want to make it work, but it doesn't make a difference keeping them there no

 

Interesting, I tried another skin (Mr Hough FM23 Mashup Skin V1.1) because the details state explicity it has transparency support and all the backgrounds show. I guess the two skins I was using (WTCS5 and Material Skin) don't have transparency support.

Does the skin have transparency support?

Thanks. I guess that's the only option I've got left. Cheers for the help!

@SChen1973 No that's not necessary, it should work like this. Are you sure you've reloaded skin and everything?

 

Yep. Done it twice. Even loaded another skin (in case it needed that to ‘force’ a refresh). I take it there's no harm in keeping all of those _backgrounds folders there?

Then you probably have them mixed up within one another. The complete pack should be your ‘main' folder and then you need to apply the updates as explained below.

 

 

You should only have one folder for each background type. 

 

To avoid confusion, I'd advise you to always download and extract the update packs to a different place than your FM folder (just put them on your desktop or whatever). After you've copied everything over, you can then delete those.

 

What you then do is only move the actual images and config over to your backgrounds folder.

 

Click through all the folders in the update pack until you get here. Copy all of them

And then put them here

Then you need to delete the old config file and replace it with the one in the update pack.

 

 

Sorry, I obviously being slow. I've got all the _backgrounds folders under FM23>graphics\backgrounds:

And each of these folders has an images folder and a config.xml file:

Is this correct? Because it's still not working. Or I need to move the files from the images folders out into (in this example), the continent_backgrounds folder?

According to the screenshot you only have the 2023.01 update pack of about 1,000 backgrounds?

 

These are the complete packs

 

Definitely downloaded all 5 full packs. 69000 files.

Hi everyone,

 

Probably a schoolboy error on my part but I can't seem to get background images appearing.

 

I'm using the Material Skin 2.0.23 and have downloaded all the background zip files and moved them to a “backgrounds” folder I created within the “graphics” folder. Screenshots attached. I've also followed the steps to refresh the graphics cache.

 

Thanks in advance for any insight.
