Working! Thanks for all your work!

Not a fan of the changes SI made to the UI

especially things like where it says Calendar > Competitions > Carabao Cup and underneath the main heading is still EFL Cup,

and how many more clicks it takes to get a screen you want compared to previous years but I digress

What is a MMA team? Can I have screenshots of what you mean?

lol sorry. The MMA thing was a bit of a joke, they were still showing as Man UFC. UFC is the biggest promotion in mixed martial arts.

it was strange as it was the only thing that didn’t change, but no worries it seems to have fixed itself by starting a new save. Thanks for all your work as usual! ☺️👍

Sorry if it's been already addressed, why are Man Utd still a MMA team even after installing this?

I know it sounds silly, but have you reloaded the skin in game? and made sure youve renamed the folder inside simatchviewer_uncompressed to hd and graphics settings to HIGH?

Changed the graphics to High and reloaded but that didn’t work. Did you keep the Program Files version of simatchviewer_uncompressed too?

I had this same issue and managed to fix it this morning using what you've troubleshooted so far. I also only use my C drive for my OS. Ive figured it that If you install to another drive than the OS drive, you have to move the simatchviewer_uncompressed folder from the steam install folder to the FM22 install folder.

Go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2022\data\ and copy the simatchviewer_uncompressed folder to D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2022\data

I did the above and its working now.

Your post sounded so promising. I copied the simatchviewer_uncompressed folder into D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2022\data but I still get black ad boards. No matter what I do I can't get it working…. Shame

This tends to cause issues, ensure the user date location within the FM preferences is set to your D drive, guide for this is below

Sorry. should've clarified myself more. The user data folder is in it's usual place (C:/User/Documents/Sports Interactive….). Should it be on the same drive as the Steam Library?

Can you post a screenshot showing where you have installed the video ads too

See the attachment.

D:/SteamLibrary/ is where my steam games get installed to. As I don't use the PCs primary drive for anything other than the OS. Should it go into the Program Files directory regardless of what drive your Steam Library is located?
