In this post, the screenshot showed that you are running multiple facepack styles at a time. It could be that one or more of them do not have the full megapack and just an update pack instead. Perhaps FM reads files differently on Macs when compared to Windows, which might lead to this anomaly. Since you have 4 folders and 4 different facepacks, there are up to 4 folders in which things could be potentially going awry, which is a bit hard to diagnose via screenshots.

 

Barry Bannan's UID is 29010507. Can you check inside all four of the packs and see if you can find an image with that filename in there?

 

I would also suggest that you move any 3 of the folders to a temporary folder elsewhere, to see if the issue can be localised in any one folder. (e.g. leave the sortitoutsi folder, and move the 3). Then reload your skin to see if the faces start appearing.

 

Thanks @mons 

 

I'll do a bit of trial and error and see if I can make it work

Both seem fine.

 

When you say they aren't working, what is that you mean? Do you get an empty space where the player image would ordinarily go, or is it the dark default face for players without an image? Can I have a screenshot of one of these players?

 

At the start of this conversation, you say that you have copied over the folders from a previous version. Did you add an update pack for any of those facepack styles perchance? I suspect you have installed it wrongly - when you get an empty space where a player image should be, that's what happens.

 

It's just the generic default face for players without an image (as per the attached) - coincidentally, before trying to use the graphics folder, this player had an actual picture in the original game

 

I've not used any updated packs

I was using the same graphics folder for 2021, but on a PC

For 2022, I've copied the same folder into a hard drive and moved across to the new Mac

Background stadiums are working fine, but for some reason the faces aren't

I can't tell what path they're in from the screenshot but the user data folder for Macs is different than that for PCs. Have a look at the third FAQ for the correct path.

 

I would also like to see a screenshot of the same section of the preferences as that one displayed in the FAQ 👍

 

Thanks @mons appreciate the help

 

Screenshots attached - both followed the FAQs

 

Half of the original game faces have disappeared too (ones from Championship etc), so not sure if that is correlated?

This layout has worked on previous FMs, but this is the first time I've been on a MAC

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

I'm a Mac book user on OS Big Sur

 

I've copied my previous graphics folder, including facepacks from last years FM - all installed in the correct drives.

 

The only graphics not working are Facepacks - everything else is fine

 

I've tried everything, has anyone got any ideas as to why it's only facepacks not working and how to fix??

Hi guys,

 

Does anyone know how the above competition can be updated?

 

Relegated championship teams aren't in the competition in the new update and I can't figure out how it's updated in the editor

 

Cheers
