FM26 - 3D STADIUM MEGAPACK VERSION 1.3 PATCH NOTES:

Hey good folks! Tomorrow version 1.3 drops for the public, but again want to give out detailed patch notes about what is changing. I really valued all the feedback over the last few days and have made significant steps into the lighting and visual presentation aspects, whilst maintaining performance to a reasonably high level.

 

Performance and Visuals:

  • Optimized shader loading on crowds and seats
  • Non custom stadiums maintain their original load time
  • Crowd animations play based on match event
  • Crowd Inject has a possibility to turn off the people only, leaving you with seats.
  • Seat colors are now loaded individually (without slowdown in performance) allowing for custom seat plans.
  • Pitch shaders have started to be added to stadiums, dramatically increasing pitch quality (idk if you read this Jean, but you being super critical every freaking time has paid off).
    • Note, this is experimental and I am still learning how to do custom patterns 😀

 

Lighting:

No More "Blinded by the Lights" or "Dancing in the Dark"

  • Fixed the issue where night games were fully dark. Inconsistencies might still occur, but it is night and day difference! 
  • As you can have seen on various platforms, I have now started adding and making custom lightmaps for every stadium. At the time of writing this I have had a bit of time crunch and the following leagues/teams have custom lighting as of now:
    • Premier League
    • Serie A
    • Bundesliga
    • Internacional, Gremio, Cruzeiro, Mineiro and Recife
    • Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid
    • PSG, Marseille and Olympique Lyon
    • Benfica, Porto and Sporting
    • This does not include the full Ligue 1 or La Liga and that was due to time restraints and I hope to add the rest of La Liga and Ligue 1 when 1.4 drops!

 

Weather:

  • Added a No Rain plugin which disables the visual aspect of rain during games.
    • Can remove safely without crashes.

 

2D:

  • 2D now also features improved pitch textures.

 

Stadium Improvements:

  • Germany is now mapped properly.
  • Fixed Sheffield Wednesday banners at the Augsburg stadium
  • Removed the Mercedes Benz from the Stuttgart Stadium
  • Fixed the pitch bug at Strasbourg
  • Fixed the goal nets being an omnishambles at Lens
  • Added various texture fixes and optimizations

 

Experimental:

  • Added installation for a Linux build, super thanks to Patreon member Luke who has sent a comprehensive guide!! Still in the baby phases and experimental, so please give feedback here! I will include the installation steps tomorrow!

 

Issues on the todo list:

  • In Game Editor not working with my mod and Epic Games Launcher.
  • Online Play
  • Improving lighting
  • Crowd overhaul
  • Consistency in performance
  • Full seat color fix for all stadiums

 

Hi,

 

I herwith want to thank you for the great designs/work you have putted in this, amazing!! 

I have a couple of questions, hope you have some time to answer on it.

 

  1. Is it correct that an additional programme runs in the background if I want to use these stadiums in my game?
  2. I have no fans in standard stadiums anymore, is that correct or did i something wrong with the installation of this mod?
  3. Champions League pitches are very very dark, is that correct or did i something wrong with the installation of this mod?
  4. What are the best pre-settings for the in-game graphics in combination with this Stadium Mod?
  5. Last question, nothing to do with the Mod. In all previous FM-games i played, there was the possibility to see live tourrnament drawings (Champions League/ Domestic Cups Play-offs etc. In my current 2026 game, i really don't know how to enter these drawings and i get only a notification after the drawing is finished. Is that correct, or can i see the drawings somewhere ‘live’ which i hope?

Many thanks in advance for your reply and keep up this great work!!

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your quick reply, appreciated! I'll do a re-install tonight because i did not made a back-Up from the default Bundle file.

 

Just checking: Both ✅ (Show pictures of players (and staff) who have been generated by the game AND Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images) needs to be put on ‘yes’ correct? Sorry, but this is not very clear to me after reading your comments on 15/12?

@John_Morrison  @Copywriter  The first Mac release is very near, probably tomorrow. It is rather clunky, but thats how MacOS is designed unfortinatelly. I already have a working app, I just need to finish all the guides.

 

@Xinnamp  @ephraimwindslow  SteamDeck is not supported yet, but it is in my pipeline after Mac is sorted

 

@Gabwine For the Software first ON second OFF, so basically default settings, no need to change anything

 

Hi!

 

Yesterday i copied the 'ui-newgen-portraits_assets_all.bundle' -file into my  â€˜26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64’ folder and overscibed the existing  'ui-newgen-portraits_assets_all.bundle' -file. After that, i followed Step 3 and 4 of the instructions;

 

       3)   (In FM26 > Preferences > Detailed > Audio & Visual.

  • Check ✅ Show pictures of players (and staff) who have been generated by the game
  • Check ✅ Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images 
  • 4) Restart Football Manager 26.

 

After that, i re-starded my saved game, but now the game is continious crashes when i try to save it again.

 

Can you please assist me with this problem? Is there anything i did wrong? Is it correct that both  âœ…needs to be on ?

 

Hope you can help me, thanks!

Hi wannachupbrew,

Great skin, as usual for Scorpio, would love to use it again! I have a problem with
backgrounds of this skin, maybe you can help me out? Only i can select is the black
one, as for example in picture of Jubez. When i press on the + icon, more
backgrounds show up (together with the % icon in below) but none of them i can
select. What am i doing wrong? Hope you can advice, thank you in advance!
