#705499 sortitoutsi Background and Stadium Packs Technical Support Thread
Syt
Thanks for the suggestions, and thanks @BramNUFC !
For testing, I removed all other gfx folders and only left the city backgrounds in. It yields the same result: blank boxes for everything except the placeholder “Coming soon” for stadium insides in FLUT. I then removed ALL gfx folders, and still the same - including the (still) blank files.
So I agree that there's probably a config file sitting somewhere that doesn't want to play ball. Problem is - I couldn't find it anywhere in the documents folder.
However, your mentioning previous installs had me look around some more. I found another directory in [my Win10 user name]\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022 which has various settings, data, etc. I made a backup of the folder and deleted it - now it works. 😀
I will go over the files now to figure out which one has the data and then restore the other files to “keep” my profile.
Thanks a lot for your help and splendid work on the site and mods, guys! 🙂

Thanks, I've tried it before and just tried again. Deleted the old folder, downloaded all fresh and re-installed. Still no change (see attached). 😢

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
This doesn't work, either (in fact, it will now only show the placeholder image for stadium interiors, and still blank for all else). I would think it's a skin issue, but I have it with every skin, and only with backgrounds.
Please note that the screenshot above is using the 2022.0 megapack, plus all subsequent patches, so only the config in the “main” folder exists in that one, not in any subfolder (but it does have the relevant entries).
That said, using the separate packs that have separate configs for each one doesn't help, either. :-(

I'm sorry, but, I'm feeling like a complete idiot, because I can't get the backgrounds to work properly. 😀
I've searched for a solution online, but I seem to be the only one struggling with this specific issue, so it's probably me effing something up.
The stadium insides will show up in e.g. FLUT dark 6.0 and OPZ Elite skins, but no others will (stadium backgrounds, competitions, cities … ). Cities and stadium backgrounds etc. just come up blank. Cutout faces, metallic logos/flags, etc. all work fine. I'm adding screens below, incl. of my folder structure.
I first downloaded the 2022.0 megapack and added the incremental updates. When that didn't work, I tried the separate downloads option. Same result, though.
I've tried a variety of different skins, made sure that I clear cache + have caching disabled in game, exited/restarted the game, etc. Nothing.
Additionally I've tried:
I'm 99% sure I'm missing something really obvious and basic, but can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. :-)
