#885736 discrepancy between photo ID and player ID?
Raparasa
Judging by the characteristics of those IDs, they appear to be newly created personnel. In this case, IDs are assigned starting from the maximum ID in the official database plus one (+1). Therefore, if official personnel are added through game updates, the IDs may shift.
The easiest solution is to check the IDs of the created personnel, calculate the difference between the filename and the actual ID, and then have an AI like ChatGPT edit the config file for you.
#885675 FM26 Real Name Fix v5.0 - for FM26.3.1 [26/05/2026] - USE THE WORKAROUND IN THE FIRST POST IF SOME CLUB NAME CHANGES AREN'T WORKING
Raparasa
Thank you for taking the time to test and verify this! I'm glad we could identify the cause of the issue.
You are absolutely right that we need to check if deleting them breaks anything else. To be honest, I hesitated to mention this, but regarding "j league non player.dbc", the installation guide on FM SCOUT (another major community site) explicitly instructs users to delete it, and they leave it deleted without reinstalling it. So removing this specific file should be completely safe.
As for the other file, "japan.dbc" (in the permanent folder), that is the one I newly discovered through my own testing to restore the 21 players.
Please take your time to check both on your end as well. If you need any more data from my tests, just let me know. Thanks again for your open-minded response!

Furthermore, based on my testing, I have confirmed that "japan.dbc" located in the "permanent" subfolder of the DBC folder should also be deleted.
After deleting "japan.dbc," I discovered that 21 players are successfully restored/added back to the game's database.
Looking at their unique IDs, these are not newly generated/created players. They possess the same continuous unique IDs from previous FM titles, just like vanilla players. This means that if you have a Face Pack installed, their profile photos will be displayed correctly.
Below is the list of the restored players:

Thank you for the explanation. I rely on translation tools to understand English, so please forgive me if there is any misunderstanding, but your instructions still seem a bit contradictory to me.
If I follow your steps to remove the 3 folders and paste the 3 folders from the Real Name Fix ZIP, it means the "j league non player.dbc" included in the ZIP will be installed back into my game.
Based on my testing, "j league non player.dbc" itself is what causes the Japan national team to lock up and call up dummy players after a few years. Therefore, it should not be included or installed at all.
Could you please explain what specific role or fix the "j league non player.dbc" inside your ZIP file actually provides?

If we don't remove j league non player.dbc, the game will lock up Japan again in the first few years and they will call up dummy players

The name that appears on that screen is a short name for the club, so I think it's probably working fine
There are few places where the club's full name is displayed, so it's a good idea to look closely at the club's details screen
#884439 Request to re-open facepack submissions for players enabled via japan.dbc removal
Raparasa
Hi everyone,
I’m writing to request the re-opening of facepack submissions for certain players whose pages are currently locked/closed for FM26.
After the recent FM26 update, I tested starting a new game after deleting the "japan.dbc" file.
As a result, 21 Japanese league players successfully appeared in-game.
While these players are currently treated as "not included" or inactive for FM26 on Sortitoutsi (and thus their submission pages are closed), they genuinely exist with their official UIDs and function properly in-game once the file is removed.
Could you please re-open the facepack submission pages for the following players?
Tochigi SC→ReinMeer Aomori FC
Park Yong-Ji ID 2000300711
Vissel Kobe
Kaito Yamada ID 2000290414

Thank you for your help and understanding!
#884438 Adding facepacks for vanilla players enabled via japan.dbc removal
Raparasa
Hi everyone,
I’m writing this to request a facepack link for a player who is actually in the vanilla database but hidden by default due to the game's configuration.
After the recent FM26 update, I tested starting a new game after deleting the "japan.dbc" file. As a result, 21 Japanese league players successfully appeared in-game.
However, because they are officially "hidden" in the default setup, they don't show up on Sortitoutsi's database yet, making it impossible to submit their facepacks normally.
These players genuinely exist with official UIDs, so could you please link the following ID(s) with their facepacks?

#883871 Possible FM26 Data Update bug
Raparasa
World Cup mode doesn't allow fmf files. In other words, you can't use mods.
The game will use the database as is from the official 26.2 update.
I don't think I'll be able to play a realistic World Cup with mods available until someone makes an fmf file that makes the World Cup combinations realistic.

Some of the UAE league players will no longer be in the game, so I think it would be better to delete the following files:
edt/delete_people_lic.edt
uae_board_members_new.dbc in dbc/permanent
If you remove these two files, something that didn't appear in the game, Kurt Zouma (Al Wasl) Matheus Saldanha (Al Wasl), will appear in the game
In addition, Japanese national team players will no longer be called up a few years after the start of the game
I think it would be better to remove j league non player.dbc in dbc/permanent
Additionally, I think it would be better to delete jpn_loans.edt in edt\permanent as well
When this file exists, even if I edit the Japanese database to create a file that reflects the transfer, the loan transfer doesn't work properly
If anyone wants to edit the Japanese database, please refer to it

Oh, my bad. I wasn't supposed to post the "Game Ready" image. It was in the same folder as the other images, so I accidentally picked the wrong one. Anyway, I figured it would get rejected since the collar wasn't showing very much in that image, but it turns out I messed up before I even got to that point.

I just wanted to say that this skin is F***ing brilliant*. Seriously, the quality is incredible and I can’t play the game without it anymore. It’s hands down the best work I’ve seen.
But I have one major problem that's making it hard to enjoy: the font kerning is broken. In certain parts, letters and numbers are squeezed so tightly that they overlap and become unreadable.
For example, "Yu", "Ts", and even the number "90" are overlapping so much they look like different characters or Thai script. This might be happening in the Japanese environment, but it makes the UI very difficult to read.
Please fix this font/kerning issue! Your skin is too good to be ruined by a bug like this. I really want to keep using it.

Oh, you were telling me to put in the collar.
Since I can only understand through translation and I rarely see player images with collars in the game, I thought it would be okay to cut at the tip of the chin and just include a little of the neck.
I'll be more careful from now on. I'll also try multiple translations.

I was also troubled by the same phenomenon. I’ve finally managed to resolve it, so I’ll share the solution.
Please check lines 278 and onward in the file panels\tactics\tactics overview side panel.xml.
You’ll find the following description:
There’s a line that says <string id="red_replacement" value="fg"/>. Change the value from fg to either style_background (green) or trung2 (blue). I set mine to trung2.
This should resolve your issue.

If things don’t go well no matter what, I recommend using other skins that have been updated recently. Some skins come standard with the ability to display IDs in the mail receipt field. If my memory serves me right, features should have been added to Fm24specialSkin, sasskin, and flutskin.

#779990 johnloch's FM24 Japan Data Expansion Pack
Raparasa
@johnloch
https://sortitoutsi.net/content/65651/fm24-japan-league-staff-fix
Even after the final update, there were no changes to the Japanese database, so I arbitrarily cut out from this file so that at least the staff can be used.
I should have deleted the staff that were duplicated, but my check might have been insufficient.
Also, I couldn’t edit the author’s name in the editor, so it has a strange name.
I wish I could update this data to the latest state, but since I started playing this game this year,
it’s difficult for me to create new characters and set their abilities.
If there is someone who can finish this up to the latest state from here, I would be more than grateful.
