Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a link/download for the Juventus 20/21 kits. I always download all the kits every year, however cannot seem to find a Series A download pack or an individual Juventus pack for this year? The rest of the teams in Serie A have their kits.

Thanks

Just try adding a few at a time and see how that goes, rather than 9GB in one go.

Will give this a go

Can you remove the graphics then load the game?

Once it loads normally, put the graphics back in its previous place, go into the preferences and have them in this manner:

Click Yes or OK to the subsequent message. Be prepared to wait: on slower computers I've had to wait up to 15 minutes for the game to load at times.

Once it loads, re-enter the preferences and tick the use skin cache button. This should help ensure the above loading time wait is not as long in any future instances.

Have just tried this. Was able to reach the preferences page, then came out of FM, moved the packs back into the games graphics folder, went back into FM, then when I unticked and ticked the relevant boxes, clicked on 'Reload Skin'. I waited for 20 minutes for this to load but it just kept on loading without finishing and going back to the game menu page. In the end it became a non responsive program.

Have also checked the files I have downloaded and these are no different to the ones a get every year. In fact I have not changed anything that I normally do, so really have no idea as to why it does not want to load once I place the downloaded packs in the graphics folder.

just link the page so i know which one you downloaded, have you tried other facepacks from other sites, that is what i would do first...

Facepack from https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/1/cut-out-player-faces

Kits a mixture from https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/packcat/2/257/ss1617-league-kits

Logo pack from https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/3/metallic-logos

i read somewhere else that you need to create a sub folder inside the graphics folder and put the files in there:

First step: Go to the following directory: Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2017/

Second step: Now, create a new folder named “graphics“. Then, inside the graphics folder, you should create a new folder named “facepacks” [graphics is necessary, the names of subfolders inside graphics are not important, as I have not "facepacks" but "Megapack 7.0" and "Megapack TCM15"]

Third step: Open the .zip or .rar file (with WinRar), and extract the content to the following directoryocuments/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2017/graphics/facepacks

Fourth step: Start Football Manager 2017 and go to Preferences -> Interface and untick Use Caching to decrease page loading times, and tick Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences.

Fifth step: Press Confirm button.

Will try this first, thanks

How long are you waiting before manually exiting the game? I suspect it's just loading the graphics and maybe taking you a while because you have an older PC. How large is your graphics folder, incidentally?

I have left it for maybe 10 minutes then had to force quit. Altogether the graphics folder, which includes the face mega pack, logos and kits, is abut 8-9 Gb.

What error message is displayed (if any)?

Nothing appears on the actual game, but on the Mac 'Force Quit' window, I get the following message:

Football Manager 2017 v 17 . 1 . 2 f 903034 (not responding)

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

does the game work as normal when you remove the add on files?

Yes it does work. I removed all the downloaded files from the graphics folder and it loaded with no issues.

Any idea how to work around this?

How do I ensure that the nations badges are on show rather than the national flags? I have the logo folders in my graphics folder and have loaded them up but it is still showing the national flags rather than the badge?

Help please :-)

As i did with windows when I was using fm 2013 I created a graphics folder, downloaded the kit packs i wanted then placed them in this folder. However, when I do this on my mac and when i come to selecting the premier league the kits have not loaded, even though I have followed the instructions.

Help and suggestions please!!

Ive just changed from Windows to a Mac but can't seem to extract the SS Kit files as I cant download an appropriate version of Winrar!

Ive created a graphics folder within FM 2013 and placed my club logos pack in there which load up in the game fine, but when I place the Kit packs in there these dont load up to the game.

Any suggestions would really help.

Cheers
