Hi mate, in preferences there used to be a file path for data, saves etc

check that first

 

normally all content is in “documents”

 

Thanks for the post. In the end I decided to start the whole process from scratch as it seemed easier to do so .

it all appears to be working so I think it’s all done correctly

Hi

I have got a new lap top and I have transferred all of my Graphics packs etc to a new Sports Interactive folder on the new lap top.

I have downloaded Steam and FM22 and when I load the game it does not find my existing save or any of my graphics packs. This is despite me taking over 4 hours to copy the folder across 

🙂

I am sure it is something simple that I have missed ...can anyone help with this please

Try extracting them to the editor data folder (not the kits folder) and removing the .zip files. It's unlikely to be the cause but it's possible.

 

I am getting a new lap top in next few days so this might be the time to try this again. 

I am sort of reluctant to delete the other kit packs as I have a lot

@Womaz I was thinking .. some time ago they told me that for those who use the Mac there is a limit of file editor to load, I think it is 194, after which the game crashes with each new save. I have no idea if for windows there is a limit for the data editors, try to make a last attempt, load a save without using the data editors and see if it continues to crash. (obviously the data editors are to be used only and exclusively on Fm22).

 

Thanks for your posts , they are much appreciated. 
However when I think it’s starting to go over my head a bit I tend to just leave things as they are .

I usually just update the packs and have no issues at all. I just wanted to use this pack as it would be a total update to some of my out of date kits

This doesn't cause a problem for me - everything is in one ‘Kits’ folder, then split by nation, then split by league, then within that a folder for 2D and a folder for 3D. @Womaz can you check that you don't have 2D and 3D graphics in the exact same folder (as in, you can preview the thumbnails for 2D and 3D kits at the same time when looking in a folder?

 

I have the 3D kits and 2D kits in different folders as shown in the screenshot above.

@Jamaicaman90 @Womaz  I followed the speech and I was wondering, maybe for some reason there is a problem if the kit folders (2D standard and 3D) are in the same path? I usually have two separate folders, in one I put the 2D kits, in the other the 3D ones. I don't know if this can cause problems, in case you do a test with two / three championships, upload them separately and see if it still gives you the same problem.

my graphics folder
megapack / same folder

 

I assume this would not make a difference as I have them in the same folder at present and it works. Like I say though I have very basic knowledge of file structure

Have you tried copying 1. SS kits and 3. FC'2 kits to your desktop and deleting them from your kit folder so ONLY 2. Standard kits is in there?

Your folder infrastructure looks correct, so if that doesn't work it might be a bug to raise with SI. However, if you've got config files for two or three different packs in there competing over the same teams it might be breaking your game.

 

I could try this but that would mean I have no 3D kits in my game surely?

I would love to try and get this sorted. I am a bloody novice and clearly I am doing something obviously wrong ;-)

I have attached my screenshots below

 

So I am simply removing my SS Kits folder from the kits folder and replacing it with this new pack……..this is causing it to crash

 

Just to add I am wary of sharing screenshots so if there is any security risk at all please feel free to delete them

Hi 

I will be getting a new lap top soon

Its used for work like basic excel, word and Outlook

The only game I play is FM. Is it worth paying extra for the NvIDIA graphics card? I usually buy Lenovo as I know the lay out etc and the lap top has to fold to almost flat as I use a large monitor via HDMI.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Hi

I have followed your instructions above but again it crashes my game,…….it makes beeping noises and then goes to the start screen, but without the options menu to start the game.

Not to worry I will stick to the ones I have. Thanks for your input though

Hi

I decided to download this and replace all my old SS kit files. So I moved the old folder out of the SIFolder I have set up.

I downloaded this new pack and put it in my kits folder as usual. 

It did not work , infact it caused my game to crash and I was unable to reload my save or start FM again as it kept crashing

 

Then of course I removed the new pack and replaced it with my old SS kit pack and the game is up and running again.

Its not a massive deal but I guess I would like the newer kits ……any ideas what I may have done wrong?

Thanks

Hi

There used to be a page where I could see what facepacks I needed to add to stay up to date. It showed me the packs I have downloaded and which ones were new.

I cant seem to locate this page anymore…….can anyone help?

Hi, Is there a problem with the Editor this year?

I like to have all of my matches kicking off at midday as the graphics are better. When the floodlights are involved it is harder for me to pick up the ball in the gameplay. It is a bit glitch.

So I use the Editor to change the KO times . It’s a bit of a drawn out process but for me it is worth it.

However lately I am struggling to do this effectively. Some games change to the new KO time but a lot do not. This is despite me following the exact same process that I used to.

Would appreciate any guidance on this or anyone to point me in the right direction to investigate this further.

Thanks

Does anyone have any idea if this can be done , both for an existing save or a new save.

Its bad enough that VAR is ruining my real football match day experience without it spoiling FM for me ;-)

Have you tried click the “Copy of Selection Info” button and select other option? Or just select the default Selection Info?

 

Thank you this worked. I must have clicked on to this in the first place I assume . 

Many thanks

This happened to me at one point and all I recall doing was clicking on the clock, the settings icon and the down arrow.  Try it and hopefully the LH panel will disappear ?

 

Excellent this worked. Thank you.

The screenshot shows the issue.

During the highlights this used to disappear like the other menus do , now it stays there. 

Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

SI released 22.3 a few days back. Open your dbc/permanent folders in 2210 and 2230 and make sure they look like the below, deleting any other folders:

 

 

I am led to understand that doing so will work in your save game.

 

 

 

The league in focus page has very small panels and larger club names are compressed accordingly. The way to edit it would be to edit the clubs' 3-letter name where applicable, using the pre-game editor 👍

 

Excellent thank you, that did work

Hi

I am in the middle (4th Season) of a Uruguayan league save. I installed the name fix before I started the game and it all worked great until a few days ago.

The Brazilian teams have now all gone back to their abbreviated names. Gremio = GRE for example.

Is there any reason why this would happen? Has there been an update and would this cause thus to happen?

I do this as it helps my graphics run smoothly if there are no games under floodlights 

So I set earlier KO times. I have followed the guide on this forum on the Advanced rules section in the Editor, but for some reason this year I cant seem to find the TV games. 

Can anyone help.

It is definitely worth using the NewGAN pack. It increases the immersion in long term saves massively!

 

Make sure the you download NewGAN 1.2.1. (Which is here: https://www.fmscout.com/a-newgan-manager-tool.html) This is the latest version, for some reason the one on FM Base is the old version.

 

Do you have torrent software? You'll one need to download the facepack. I think that is the Megasync file file you're struggling with.

 

I have managed to get the install manager files downloaded but not the actual facepack.

I think the link you have above is the actual tool software.

I do not have torrent software….as I use this site to do my downloads to winrar. For some reason I am unable to do this with the facepacks file.

 

I am going to have to come back to this later as heading out. Thanks for your input

Have you gotten it to work? I’ve been using it since last year, and trust me, it really is a lifesaver. If you need help getting to work, I can help out.

 

I might get a chance over the weekend to have a look at this. Thanks for the offer but I really need to learn how to do all of this for myself I think.

I used to struggle with it all, facepacks, the name fixes etc but I can now manage to do these tasks myself. 

This one does seem a tad more complex but I will give it a go when I get more time. Thanks for the offer.

An easier way I have found, is to just get the created regen player unique id. Go through a league you don’t use and copy a face onto your desktop. Re-name it with the regen specific ID. Copy into your ‘players’ folder abd then use something like FMXL to write a new config file. Load up game and clear cache and refresh, you will then have a proper player face for the regen player. 
 

As an aside and to save too much work, I only do  this for my team, or regen players that I sign to my team. This way it isn’t too onerous.

 

I also pick faces that are not ‘well known’’ within football and appear close in ethnicity and appearance to the regen model.

 

I hope this ‘alternative‘ quick-fix helps.

 

For a novice like me, that appears to be more difficult than the full blown route ;-)

I might have to watch that video again to see if I can attempt to install that software as this is the first time I have ever considered going back to last years game.

We do so much to add realism to the game, kits, player faces, stadiums, logos, badges etc and then they give us Regens like this.

Is it just me or are they dreadful this year. I mean they do look like cartoon characters.
