You can change stadium names simply through an lnc file, hence part of the name of one of the lnc files included in this download 😉

That's not quite correct.
a) Changing the stadium name doesn't affect the club nickname, which is only removed if you change the club name
b) That UID you used is the club's. It's the stadium's which you want to use 😉


# Napoli
"STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE" 1229 "Stadio Diego Armando Maradona" ""

is what you want to add.


Oh, whoops. 🙂 Thanks for the corrections!

Can you change Napolis stadium name to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The club have confirmed the renaming of it’s stadium in honour of Diego Maradona:

It's being added to The Real Names FIx, here:

EDIT: corrected the required ID from Napoli club ID (1150) to their stadium ID (1229)

Did they do any testing at all after "fixing" things..?

I feel like each year I have less and less time to actually enjoy the game.
Beta stage is just a peek preview. When the game is officially out I try to edit what I can and wait for the most crucial community mods and files before starting my main save. This year, I'm still waiting. 😢

I found the patch notes in Steam -> FM 21 -> Community...
It states that the verification issues in pre-game editor have been tackled, but Steam users have replied that things still don't work the way they should. (Sigh)

I just had Steam install an update to FM 21 and it seems to have added/changed these files in the \database\db\2110\dbc\ and \database\db\2111\dbc\ folders: argentina, canada, portugal, russia, south korea and york.

Should the most recent Real Name Fix be re-applied over the changed folders or does this require a new version of the fix?

Thanks for the great work!

FM21, latest update
SS Kits Germany, latest update

Teams with mutated vowels like Nürnberg, Osnabrück or Türkgücü don't work. Filenames are broken. Renamed them manually according to the XML but still do not show up (yes, cleared the cache).


Hmm... did you rename both, the files and the lines in the config.xml? I have come across unusual alphabets before and renaming the shirts and their entries in the config has fixed the issue. What I mean is there should be no unusual letters among the files or in the config and then the kits should show up.

JEEZ, I've seen this one before but I hadn't realised how bad it was

To his credit he aged really well though


I know, he looks a bit younger today than he did in that photo. 😉

Like it says in the description, it's for FM20 only. They're currently working on a new version for FM21.

thx 4 you work. I will try it out.
Im a Big Fan of 1860 Munich in Germany.. the Derby between SpVgg Unterhaching vs. TSV 1860 München called "S-Bahn-Derby" because there are only 4 km between the stadium of Unterhaching and 1860.

TSV 1860 München vs. Türkgücü München could be added as well.. 1860 and Türkgücü plays on Saturday the derby for the first time in a official Match.
Everybody from both club called it allready Derby



This file has great potential to grow even better and to cover so many more countries, regions and interesting, passionate rivalries, as local FM players lend their expertise the way you just did! [Thumbs up]

Hi, I install this for first time. Is v1.4 full version? Or should I begin with v1.0 and continue with all versions? Thanks


Install every pack from first to last, in that order, and you'll get the newest version of every adboard and working configs.

Should I delete the folders of 2100, 2101 and 2111 or should I delete 2110 as well?


I noticed that, unlike in the Beta version, the \2110\ folder included edt & lnc subfolders as well as the dbc one, so I deleted them and copied the fixed ones in that folder as well. Just to be sure. 🙂

Is it just me or does the FM 2021 Resource Archiver do the same exact thing that FM 2020 Resource Archiver when used on FM 21 - nothing? I cannot browse or extract anything. It does not show the contents of the archives at all.

EDIT:
All of a sudden it worked, kind of. I was able to extract the contents of \simatch\ third time of asking, even though I still cannot browse the contents of archives in the Resourse Archiver...

I experienced a problem, I noticed that 18/11/2020 the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2020\data\database\db\2000 2001 2010 2020 2030 and 2040 have been changed. Not only dbc, edt and lnc...but have been replaced also 2000_fm, 2010_fm and so on, so nofake is not working and German national teams are all grey. There is a way to solve this problem?


Just like mons said, I haven't noticed Steam updating FM 2020 either, so the files you mentioned should not have been changed recently by an update. There must be something else causing the issue.

Yeah, the basic UI isn't really console-friendly to begin with. I'd imagine it can get very tiring to have to continuously drag the pointer across the screen and click around back and forth. Wonder how easy it is to find a suitable mouse and keyboard for Xbox, because that seems a must if you play FM a lot.

These were very entertaining, well written posts! I really enjoyed them. Reading about your history with Football Manager reminded me so much of my own and brought back great memories. It's moments like this when I realise how big a part of my life football is, how many positive things it brings me personally and how many people from different backgrounds I've met and connected with both through the internet and in the sport IRL.

To imagine this community is full of similar stories, football-related lifestyles and impactful experiences connected to Championship Manager and Football Manager... we're all connected through it, and get to enjoy the content, ideas and passion shared by us all. It really is one of the more remarkable game series, phenomena and communities around the gaming world.

Just tried these for the first time and they look great in the beta. Great work & really adds to the game immersion.

Just wondered if you would be able to sneak in some static boards for Montrose when you do your next update? 😉



I don't mean to promise anything on behalf of rabcp, but I'm sure it would help your cause if you could provide some pictures of the adboards at Montrose's stadium.

Thanks for the pics!
Do you know what their role is in Football Manager games? Are they those "non-active" people - pundits and club legends - that various media sources interview ahead of big matches etc.?

do these work for fm21 beta ??


Yes, they do. If there are some isues with third kits or kit colors, those will be dealt with when the full game is released, but most kits will be fully compatible with the beta version.

there is a torrent version of the full download


I've already downloaded the full FM 21 background pack (sortitoutsi_backgrounds_megapack_2021.00.zip) but this new config.xml is the only thing I'm missing now. 🙂

EDIT: What I mean is I cannot download the new updated config.xml you linked to your post above. It doesn't show any free mirrors, only the ad for the Premium Membership.

This is a work in progress... but the download is working (both full download and torrent). If any problem it is the config. But as I just wrote before... please have patience.... Hopefully bye tomorrow I will have my fm21 installed and have the possibility to check everything.


Must be something caused by the config. I downloaded the latest megapack and prioritised it in loading order by adding a "1" at the beginning of the folder name in \graphics\backgrounds. FM 21 would not show the backgrounds or even stadium pictures. As soon as I moved the newest pack way down in loading order by replacing the "1" with "z", the older background pictures I had from my FM 19 and FM 20 worked just fine.
