Hi Nathan did you get yours sorted as i have the same problem as you did

 

So don't bother reinstalling the game, as that didn't make any difference. I got it working by playing around with where to place the files, as often they needed to be one folder before the suggested file path in the instructions. 

 

For example, it worked when i placed the ads folder into "documents→ Sports Interactive" but not within Football Manager 2021 oddly. Same with the graphics folder too.

I’m sure that someone else had this issue and it was resolved by reinstalling FM21, just ensure that  you back up all saves, tactics etc first.

 

Thank you, I'll give that a go and report back if it works to help others. Thanks again for your help.

Perfect, so the good news is everything is where it should be.

 

I’m sure you have already tried this but ensure the graphics cache is off in the Football Manager preferences menu and try reloading your skin

I've deselected “use caching to decrease page loading times”, clicked the clear cache button and reloaded the skin. Still doesn't work, so i think i've exhausted all options. 😢

Thanks and you’re welcome 👍🏼

 

Can you also provide screenshots of exactly where the static and video ads have been installed too, all I can tell from what you have posted is that the xml file is in the correct location.

Sorry, do these give you what you're looking for?

Can you post screenshots of where you have installed everything 

Yes, so graphics and ads folders into the attached path. Then i copied one of the fm files from “clubs” into the ads folder as attached. I'd already completed the bidstack instruction from the V1.0 pack too so included the folder where that is. Really appreciate any help you can give, as this mod really makes the game!

So I've reviewed all of the comments above, but despite following all of the steps I have black/blank video ad boards and the standard game static boards. What am I doing wrong? There's no issue with the laptop, it's high spec Erazer gaming notebook P6605 with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card and the game settings are up at high for graphics. So I assume it's a folder issue somewhere.
