I've just played an FA Cup semi final at Wembley and it shown the FA Cup boards, so that worked fine. Must just be finals?

I opened a thread on SI about it so they've looked into it and fixed it for the next patch

#505422 FM19 Adboard Patch - EPL Update Part 2 Out Now!
stevemc
Cheers, I've opened a thread on SI about it, I've removed all add ons and it's still doing it (so it's nothing to do with this pack). Going to completely wipe the game and reinstall and see what happens.
EDIT: If anyone else has this problem, I've recorded it here;

I've tried the SD - HD thing, no avail, it's a brand new MacBook Pro, the best they make, how do I re-install a driver on that?
I think it's a clash with another file somewhere, I'm just doing some tests now.

The video ads have a different colour cast on them (this looks like its picking up a green through them - EPL green maybe?);
EDIT: not sure if this is another file elsewhere conflicting with this pack?
#502555 Dark Is Actually Dark FM20 Skin
stevemc
No I've tried that, there is still a cast over the 3D match engine - when trying to use background pictures on the menus.
This is the problem here; https://community.sigames.com/topic/503652-base-skin-with-background-pack-support-no-cast-on-3d-match-engine/
EDIT: Looks like it may have been solved? https://community.sigames.com/topic/503755-fm20skin-base-skin-with-backgrounds-support/

Switching between the two wouldn't work though now would it, because NO CLUBS has club banners included with competition ads now, and CLUBS is obviously club only specific ads? I'm talking only static banners by the way.
#460432 FM19 Adboard Patch - EPL Update Part 2 Out Now!
stevemc
Only things I've noticed are;
• The "Sky Sports" adboard for the Premier League, which appears first in sequence, is a little too long.
• When it's a neutral venue, like a cup final, it records in the "home" teams static ads. - Is it even possible to record just competition static ads (within this XML) to neutral venues instead?

Yeah so the upper stands are club specific (for example, manutd.com, MUFC badge, adidas etc) then on the lower video boards that are around the pitch are competition specific, so in the CL it displays only CL, FA Cup displays only FA Cup etc

Read a few pages back, there's a fix for this sticking on the first aboard - some fella posted a file to download.

Yes, they've always worked, never had an issue with them. I use competition ads though, not clubs.

• Set everything to "FALSE" in this file: Macintosh HD ▸ Users ▸ name ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ Preferences ▸ version 3 ▸ channels ▸ BIDSTACK_CHANNEL.xml
• Put the game in "offline mode" via Steam,
• Turn the WiFi off on your laptop
• Then launch FM19.
Bidstack ads disappear.

Had a go of that too, still no resolution. Ads still show through!

They've sold their soul. Ruins the immersion of the game for me, if I'm playing a Champions League game, I want it to feel like the Champions League, not see Nicki Minaj on the pitch side advertisements.
