#876577 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

It was deliberately removed, after this discovery. It serves no purpose, and the files contained within it are not needed.
#876574 FM26: Update 26.3 is out!
mons
It depends on your Steam settings but it should update automatically, yes.
Do keep in mind that it is the game version that is 26.3, but the database version is still 26.2. Perhaps that's where the confusion has arisen…

Yes, you missed this post 👍
This seems like it's a bug which has surfaced after the most recent update. Not much we can do about that - hopefully it gets resolved soon 👍

I believe it does, yes. The correct user data folder is the latter, and the game won't find it in the former.
Is it all of them, or is it just the Dutch/French one? I suspect it's the latter, and you therefore need to download and install the real name fix to solve the issue.

That's why I ask for screenshots 🙂
I included this folder in the download by mistake - in fact it's not in the screenshots in the main post.
I've uploaded a new version of the fix to sort it, but all you need to do is delete the language folder; you'll be fine.
Edit: seems you discovered that already 🙂

That's not what I asked you to provide, is it? Read my previous message, and help me help you.
The default database has the correct Brazilian club names. For licensing purposes, SI add a file or more than 1 (I forget which) that adds the fake names. This fix works by simply removing that file. This fix doesn't actually edit the names at all.
Again, that's not what I asked you to provide, is it? Read my previous message, and help me help you. I need to see inside all the folders. I can't be sure you installed everything properly, otherwise 😕

Then you've not installed the fix correctly, I fear. This fix works for both new games and existing careers. Please provide screenshots of the in-game issue, and screenshots of all the folders that the fix was installed in. In the screenshots, please make sure the full path is clearly visible.
Please provide screenshots of the in-game issue, more information as to whether it's a new save or an existing save, screenshots of all the folders that the fix was installed in and upload the club name lnc file as an attachment. In the screenshots, please make sure the full path is clearly visible.

@doroihassid, for future reference, when you have a lot of images to upload, then you should upload them as a pack instead of individually and save the both of us some time.
You can also upload up to 50 images per pack instead of just a maximum of 3 when done individually.

FAO you all - I'm posting again what I said earlier, in larger font this time so you can't miss it. Follow the steps and you'll be fine.
No one mentioned a 2630 folder 😕
The above goes for you too.

I never changed the folder name inside the download
Now sorted, but you can use the file you downloaded. Its contents are perfectly fine 😉

v4.0 of this file is now available for download. It contains the handful of changes proposed since the release of v3.0, as well as an update of the Ajax staff file, thanks to @Kevinho7

@Zap#5122 Good cut, but please remember that we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.
I'll fix this one myself, but please keep it in mind for any future cuts you may do 👍
Here's a video of the process on how to nudge the collar upwards:

@matthewgaskell9, not bad but for some reason all your cuts are a bit stretched. I suspect you're not maintaining the aspect ratio when resizing your sources.

The megapack doesn't have all the images of every person in every team. If you come across someone whose face you'd like to be added to the megapack, we have a submissions forum here: find a good source image, upload it according to the forum's guidelines and wait for the community to produce a cut-out 👍

@RedWolf55, not bad but brightening darker images like this one always looks better in-game. The easiest way is to go to this tab in Photoshop:
and tweak the brightness slider.
There is also a Photoshop action file, available for download here, which contains a lot of common actions, including one for brightening, for ease of use 😉

@alvlopezz, why do you keep uploading such terrible sources?
#876114 Sirlord Conteh

@Ruslanincha, good effort, but this cut has a fair bit of snow:
By now you should know what snow is: the colour from the background of the cut which was not totally removed. It is often white (hence ‘snow’) but it can be other colours. It can often be easily removed by putting the cut through remove.bg.
Here's a video on how you can easily remove any remaining snow thereafter within Photoshop:

@guilherme vezarozzz, using an AI image enlarger just “guesses” what certain pixels should look like when you make the image larger, and the result looks blurry/out of focus on certain details, with unrealistically smoothened skin, and unnatural looking hair/beard/eye/teeth details. This whole pack has been enlarged and/or enhanced, so they won't be added. Moreover, most have had high-quality cuts added recently, so they weren't even really needed anyway.
Please make sure to pay more attention both to the guidelines and to the feedback we have been giving you. This is not your first account, and you're still ignoring us. If you're so intent to continue taking part in this community, then following its guidelines should really be the way forward for you. Otherwise you're just wasting your time, and ours.

@Raparasa, you've already been told that all cuts must include a collar. Please keep it in mind for your future uploads.

@destino32, when cropping images, make sure to maintain the aspect ratio, otherwise the face will end up unrealistically compressed like this.
Also, when you have multiple images to upload, make sure to use the upload pack function.

@Gabriel Basei Silveira - reminder on this. Upload your images in a pack, please.

This is a screenshot from your previous post. It is not in the filename method introduced in the new megapack as released on 8 December. Image should have their filenames as face_01234.png, where 01234 is the person's UID.
However, none of those UIDs are in the megapack, so I suspect you've downloaded the pack with the players added via the data update, and put it in the same folder as the main megapack.
They need to be placed in separate folders.

That's strange 😕
