It's an intentional change made by SI, and there doesn't seem to be a way around it šŸ˜•

 

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.

Having issues with the cutout file not working for certain players. I initially downloaded the complete file. Deleted it when it didn't work for some players. Tried it with the .00 file and then adding each of the updates, but still have the same issue.

 

2000237171 is one of examples this happens with, but also more prominent players as well(ex: Mbappe). I can see the player id in the config file, but it doesn't show when searching for the ID. It does seem that there would be enough faces since the faces folder shows north of 540K files present.

 

Tried looking through the forums for ideas, but didn't find any solutions. Any help would be great. Thanks!

 

Can you upload the screenshots with these players not visible in the game? You can upload 2 that does work and 2 that doesn't.

Thanks for your guidance on this. For whatever reason the instructions when I've tried to download the name fixes for FM26 it's taken me to here. Maybe the menus could be laid out a bit better. Again thanks for the feedback and your professional approach unlike your colleague who can't take criticism when a customer is raising an issue. @bigpole 

 

Unfortunately, I've checked the opening post for FM26 version of real name fix and I see no direct links or ā€˜transfer’ to FM24 thread. I can take criticism just fine, so I'm open to apologize, if you find clear indication that something in FM26 thread is leading to FM24 thread. 

 

If you give us the proof, I'm more than happy to apologize (and the rest of the staff will be more than happy to change the things you've posted).

The instructions for this are wrong. The data file in FM 26 now only contains a folder names game_simulation. Please update this is just lazy especially when people are paying subscriptions.

 

I'm sorry, but it's funny to call something lazy when you are the lazy one for not checking where you are posting.

Hello, this isn't working on Napoli and Real Betis after World Cup update.

Can you help me?

If you're starting a new game - reinstall the fix.

If you're using existing save - apply the workaround.

Cześć. Jest błąd w zasadach ligi. Jak ustawiam przez fmrte nagrody za wygraną,remis,porażkę to w grze pokazuje że nagroda za wygraną jest tylko na wyjezdzie. 

Niestety nie odpowiadam na za błędy, które powstały przy użyciu zewnętrznych edytorów. Plik sam w sobie działa dobrze i nigdy nie było w nim żadnej premii pieniężnej dla gości za wygrany mecz.

Thank you very much! I usually try to find answers to my questions on the forum itself, even if just by skimming through, because I know how annoying it can be to answer the same questions over and over again. My mistake was not noticing the other thread you mentioned, maybe because this was the first time I’ve had issues with the metallic logos pack. Thank you once again, I believe everything should be 100% now.

 

To be fair, the faces/logos/backgrounds problem in this version is because of SI's probably new implementation of the files and all the graphics. The numbers and ID's worked perfectly in all previous versions, but now community has to make workarounds and change the whole ā€˜nomenclature’ of the files (probably some automation is used but still). My bet is that creators will upload the version I've mentioned and this will be the ā€˜official’ version from now on (because it's working on previous version as well). 

 

And to be fair, fm26 causes so many problems with the graphics I sometimes think to myself - is it the user's problem or the game?

Dude are you retarded? Why are you so triggered like this. I was bored, so I sent a normal message, in a polite tone. Just stfu and mind you own business.

 

1st warning, because you didn't have to call me retarded, but you did. 

 

I'm triggered, because the answer to your message was in the last post of this topic. And if you just read I don't know, the last page of this topic, you would know that the author is already working on the file. I could understand if the skin update was in January, but the author replies regularly. I'm minding my business just fine, so thanks, but I'm also responsible for moderating the forum. 

 

I hope, that you will be reading every thread you're posting in, because these are the basics, and the author can use this time to work on the file, instead of replying to what he's posted just few hours ago.

Hey! I’m having the same issue: several Argentine teams don’t have the correct logos assigned and are still using the default FM26 ones. It’s not all of them, but at least half, including San Lorenzo, Argentinos Juniors, Banfield, VĆ©lez, etc. It seems to be something specific to Argentine clubs.

 

Have you managed to fix it, or have you received any support?

 

I can see, that you've replying to the message from 1 month ago, which is cool, because it means that you are reading the thread. But unfortunately, you've missed the pretty important message by one of the logopack developers with a workaround for fm26 version to work.

 

This time I'm giving you the link, but next time I want you to read the thread more carefully šŸ˜‰

bro please update

 

The author LITERALLY, posted a message above yours, that he is indeed working on an update. Update that came out YESTERDAY.

 

I really hate messages like these, especially when skin creators (especially for this version), have to fix skins each time SI updates a game.

 

Just wait patiently instead of begging.

Done it with fmscouts which literallt just needs you to delete the files , its a better workaround than this one 

I mean, the 1st post also says that you have to delete folders. So probably you've installed this wrong at the first place. But I'm glad that you've fixed this yourself.

Thank you so much. That suggestion of yours fixed the problem but I'm a little bit confused. This file that i attachted before was in the last small updated face pack. Every face patches has that confix.xml right? So when i paste new face packs, what should I do? Because winrar is going to ask should paste the new config.xml file or not? 

"Cut-Out Player Faces Megapack - New Players for FM26"

for example, this has config.xml file too. I should put the files when i create new folder in faces folder?

 

To be fair, I don't remember that something changed in terms of generating xml files. Each update has all the faces from all previous megapacks and updates.

 

@mons - can you confirm this?

yep. this file.

 

Your config file is way to small. it should be around 40mb, not 0.1mb.

 

Repack your faces once again and check the file size.

That FAQ is out of date unfortunatly. It doesnt show how to do it in FM26. It's for the older versions. Or am i looking at the wrong Faq?

https://community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/558156-graphics-skins-installation-guide-user-data-location-info/?tab=comments#comment-12779418

And like as i said, i can load my save games from the same user data folder. So why should it be a problem for graphics folder?

 

You can use my guide if you want.

That’s what I mean, I’m so confused as to why it isn’t working. Been playing fm over 20 years and never had an issue like this.

 

i have effectively gone back to square one now, everything has been delete and it’s as if I’m installing for the first time. Do I need to apply the fix to both to 26.0 and 26.2? or can I get away with just 26.2 given that I will only be using that one.

 

My method is always - delete these 3 folders (dbc, edt, lnc) from every ā€˜folder with number’ (every 26.0, 26.2 and other similar folders) and paste 3 folders from fix. And make sure to select all editor data files when creating a new game through advanced setup.

 

If something was not working, it was because due to my mistake, not the fix.

 

That's why me and mons are sometimes tired of reminding everyone how to apply the fix, because when you dive deeper into individual issues, 95% of them is applying the fix wrong (which can be solved by watching 250 youtube videos on how to do it or following the main post).

 

And because folders on mac are similar to windows, I sometimes wish the players would record the process of downloading, copy/pasting and launching the game.

Losing the will to live with this unfortunately. Have followed the guidance step by step but Napoli and various other Spanish teams still have fake names. Was working fine previously so am just at loss at what to do.

 

This is for a new save file. 

 

I mean, the installation process is basically the same in each fm. You delete all edt dbc and lnc folders from each 26.0, 26.2 folder and copy the ones from the fix.

 

AND you select all editor data files when starting a new game (it's important to click advanced setup).

 

And voila.

I really don't know why the pre-game editor won't let you test the database rules…

 

If you load a file with leagues added, you should have test rules button. Or when you add rules in the editor yourself. Otherwise, it's greyed.

Any reason why everything works except for Betis and Zaragoza? I note that the changes are included in the lnc but in game they're still Hisplanis and San Sebastian?

 

This is a save game started with the original game but updated recently to 26.2.
