I applied the fix correctly, but if I play in quick start mode, some teams are still incorrect, such as Parthenope (Napoli)...Is this normal?

 

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.

Hi,

 

I am having the same issue as DerSim1987 - most Italian and Spanish clubs are fine except a select few (Napoli / Parthenope, Betis / Hispalis, Sociedad / San Sebastien, Osasuna / Pamplona). Far as I can tell, all other leagues are fine, Germany NT is solid and Niko Kovac / Tomas Tuchel are in the game.

 

When creating a new game, the database option does not have any additional editor data files despite the folder very clearly being within my FM26 folder path on my laptop drive. Has this been a prevalent issue or is there an obvious solution to this? Any help obviously very much appreciated.

 

*I am also having an issue with graphics pack - which is a separate irrelevant issue to this - where some logos are loading through but not all, annoyingly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

If I reapply the current version (assuming it works, I haven't tried), I delete the files containing the World Cup squad updates, which I don't want, since this update sets the declaration nation for several players.

 

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.

Do you know if a new version of the fix will be released after the latest 26.3.2 update?

 

Just reapply the current one, and it should work.

Doing that creates the problem that some players are called up to the wrong national teams, so the official rosters become distorted.

 

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.

Napoli is still Parthenope?

 

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.

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).

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

 

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 ‘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 ‘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 ‘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, Vélez, 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 😉

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.
