Do you see the file in the game when selecting a new career mode and a database? Because if you don't, the kit colours won't be changed.

When you choose a database, you should have a list of editor data files available. If they are none, the game is not loading the right folder.

Do you see all 4 editor data files when loading the game?

And because I don't see everything on the screen, I'll say just in case - try not to have the fm folder on onedrive disk. You can create on a C disk but name it differently, like FM folder or FM files.

In this case, please try to create a separate folder and copy all the files there. And then, select this folder as your ‘fm folder’ inside the game.

There is the problem. You have set /games folder as the folder fm load files from. You need to have the ‘main’ folder set, like in mine example. That's why your files are not visible.

You don't have to start as napoli. Just show that you have all 4 editor data files selected at the start of the game. Because these files change for example the napoli name so if you don't select this file, there will be no napoli name change. 

Sorry, I wasn't specific - send a screenshot from the game that you select all 4 files.

Please send a screenshot with all 4 editor data files selected.

If you start the game from the world cup mode, NO ADDITIONAL FILES WILL BE LOADED. No additional leagues, no editor data fixes, no name changes, nothing.

Yes, if you start the game from the world cup mode, NO ADDITIONAL FILES WILL BE LOADED. No additional leagues, no editor data fixes, no name changes, nothing.

The folders in the fix are restoring the ability to play japanese national team on the start of the game, and all 3 j leagues are enabled to play as well.

I believe that in the older fm games japanese NT was always with real players (like germany) but indeed something has changed and I've simulated 5 years and japanese NT is full of gray players (the league is still playable and has all real players).

If deleting both japanese dbc files helps, probably we could take a look if deleting these files from the fix helps. And remember that deleting these files can also break something else so it has to be checked. 

And thank you for the input.

That's why you remove all 3 folders and paste 3 folders from the fix. This way nothing gets changed (unless there is another update from SI, so you have to reapply fix).

it's fixed from the start and the japanese team is playable.

I believe it may come as irritating to anybody who knows that the updates for facepack come out each month. I understand the ‘where’s the update' post in the metallic thread logos (because the 1st update was 5 months after the game release due to SI changing the name structure) but this is a steady, month by month update megapack.

Furthermore, I get your passion, but please understand the creators, we all are doing this in our spare time.

Yes, you should download the whole megapack once again (because the file names are changed in new version).

I've downloaded the megapack once again and the new updates and everything is named face_playerID (with corrected config file as well).

Yes, because in quick start you cannot select any additional files (as far as I know). So the part of licenses is fixed but club names (like napoli, real betis) are not changed.

If the game doesn't show any additional files and graphics, it means it is loading the FM files from the wrong folder. Please check in settings if correct folder is selected.

Yes, sadly, if you start the career through the World Cup mode (rather than through advanced settings), you won't be able to load additional files. 

Just reapply the current one, and it should work.

I know that this is a workaround rather than a solution, but you can use my file that fixes all the players from the World Cup. The bad thing is, the file (and all the other additional files) is not working in World Cup quick start mode. The game probably load the ‘final fixes to players’ file and no other files (so the real name fixes may not work at all). I know that this is due to licensing, but still.

And that's the file - https://sortitoutsi.net/content/76958/fm26-international-fixes-nationalities-update-10-version-is-out#comment_884692

One more message, because I've found out recently and I want to point it out - when you select the World Cup quick start mode, the game will 'load' the database from the 'internal file' which means YOU CAN'T LOAD ANY ADDITIONAL FILES (including this file, no additional leagues, no injury files, etc).

The 2nd version of the file is now updated (the link is update + steam workshop link was added if someone prefers to subscribe through steam).

And the file works with the latest patch to the World Cup update

What is new in the 2nd version

ALL FIFA countries senior international players and call-ups were updated (2024/2025/2026 was checked)

ALL World Cup players were checked 2nd time for any issues, and they all work 100%.

Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and Polish Ekstraklasa were checked, and I've added a 2nd nationality for certain players if needed.

My plan right now is to create a few updates until the FM27 premiere (I will be updating the leagues right now, probably updating 1 league per 1 day is capable).

So the file is basically complete, because all I do right now is check youth players in top-tier leagues.

@mons - is it possible to ‘re-do’ the installation video instruction so it includes the step with launching the game and selecting the editor data files? Because the video and the instruction does not specify to select the files from editor data (and one of the files is club name change and this is the main problem for most users.

If you applied real name fix and loaded the editor data files from the fix with name changes - all is okay.

Please check if all 4 files are selected.

Everything works if you install the real name fix correctly.

Once again - delete the current edt, dbc and lnc folder and paste the folders from realname fix.

And do this for every database version in the main folder.

@dersim1987 @luka_

What doesn't work exactly?

My suggestion is and always was - reapply realname fix after every patch. Because you never know what SI could have licensed.

And because the fix is tiny, you can do it in literally 2-3 minutes (with the download).

Weirdly, it's all fine on my side.

And all national teams faces are visible

I have the latest megapack + I have a realname fix installed, so I'm confused a bit why it works for me (I'm not downplaying user reports of course.)

I'm not doing anything extraordinary APART from DELETING DBC EDT and LNC folders in each of the game version's folder.

So my steps to reproduce would be:

1. Download 26 realname fix
2. Delete DBC EDT and LNC in each folder and paste EBC EDT and LNC folder from the 26 realname fix.
3. Ensure you have the full megapack installed with the config file (548.702 faces) and config file inside is a 43mb file.
4. Check if your game is pulling add-ons from correct location (this is mine for example)

5. You should be good.

Are the players like yamal, haaland working?
