Reinstall it, yes.

 

Verifying the game data recreates licensing-related files which are removed when the fix is installed from scratch, so doing that should solve your issue in your current save game 👍

The screenshots are from an unskinned FM20, hence all the purple

Belgian club ads with video adboards added for: Anderlecht, Antwerp, Club Brugge, Cercel Brugge, Charleroi, Eupen, Genk, Gent, Kortrijk, Mechelen, Mouscron, Oostende, Sint-Truiden, Standard Liege, Waasland-Beveren & Zulte Waregem. Video ads for Adidas, Nike, Puma etc will be updated in due course

 

 

 

 

It's kind of the opposite in all honesty, I had my FM20 version thread deleted by the mods over on the official forums and was asked not to post anything about the patch over there. I was told this was due to licensing/copyright issues which is fair enough as there has been a clampdown and a legal case with the Man Utd name for example, though, I expect part of this is more to do with them selling space for in game advertising which this patch can prevent.

From what I have seen so far it seems like all stadiums shown have double ads at pitch level, this would be a welcomed addition but would require a lot of additional work too on my part too.

 

LOL I did chuckle at that 

I have the same problem too

Once I've made the Israeli Premier League, OFC Champions League, Polish Ekstraklasa I will release V1.4 which will be the last update for FM21. Ads for the Saudi Premier League and Scottish Cup will still be made but will not be released till V1.0 of the FM22 patch.

 

Work has already started on the FM22 patch, I am completely re-writing both xml files which is very time consuming but has allowed me to bring about some significant quality of life improvements including:

 

• Each playable nation having their own unique default ads which will show in friendlies and in competitions which have no existing adboard’s.
• For competitions/clubs which can show video ads but have none made, default video ads will now show instead of the dead black video boards.
• Several existing video adboard’s have been remade to meet the 15 second time limit within FM21 (Hopefully SI won’t move the goalposts...)
• New unreleased static and video ads have been made for several nations
• Removal of dead/unused static and video ads

 

Unfortunately, all of this work means that the FM21 version of the patch will not be compatible with FM22 and it will require a new download from scratch but it’ll be more than worthwhile.

 

W.I.P
AFC Champions League, Argentine Primera Division, Belgian First Division A, CAF Champions League, CAF Confederation Cup, CAF Super Cup, Copa America, Danish Superliga, EFL Cup, English Premier League, FA Cup, Israeli Premier League, OFC Champions League, Polish Ekstraklasa, Saudi Professional League & Scottish Cup

Sorry.  Done on page 475 mate.  Stupid phone!!!

Sorted out via PM 😉

 

He had two megapack folders, one of which had only 20k-odd images, which meant the proper one didn't display…

I will reinstate the original and see if it helps

 

EDIT: It did not, sadly. 

 

Any other avenues I can pursue to fix this darned thing?

That, or the file 5th from bottom in ED3. What you need to do to confirm is open the editor, load the file, navigate to the stages section and filter by entries with at least 1 as number of changes.

 

I also suggest having a check of the files in the folder when adding new ones in the future. There are several files which either do the same edits (or at least appear to do so) or are different versions of the same files (you have v1 and v2 of majestic eternity's award files, and of the ETCH and SATCH, for example, and 2 or 3 competition colour fixes made by different authors). It might not cause any immediate conflicts, but the game can only show one edit for any one field, so a lot of the changes from a lot of files will be going to waste.

Will take a look

If you give me a screenshot of your editor data folder, I may spot whichever it was so that it can be edited/removed for future saves.

Then I've got my files mixed up, but it's definitely not due to the files in this download, simply because I don't edit stage names. Perhaps it's another file with French competition edits then. I came across it a long time ago and can't remember exactly which file it was now, sorry.

If you mean Man Utd, the kits are working fine for me? Do you mean the 2D kits, the 3D kits, or both?

I believe that is related to an external file. If memory serves, Timo's French league file expanded one of the French knockout competitions which necessitated the adding of a couple of rounds and the editing of a couple of existing stage names, which he did in French, and which meant that the existing stage name in different competitions is displayed in French. I don't believe there's a way this can be rectified, or at least not as far as I'm aware.
