#406281 FM2018 Real Names and German National Team Fix File for FM18.3.0 [v2.1 released on 05/04/2018]

If I want to continue a save that I've started using the Beta after the full release, will I be able to restore the corrections to competition and club names and the German (and other?) national teams by simply re-installing the fix as in the first instance?
I ask because, to the best of my recollection, that didn't work in the past.
(Also because, having done a thorough recce of the transfer market and having started to get to grips with the match engine, I'm itching to get going properly!)
Thanks

Hahaha yep, sorry, went back to the first post, followed those steps, re-started, and it's fixed.
Thanks.

I re-installed of my own accord and the competition names are now correct, but the club names still aren't. Is there a way around that or will it have to wait until the full release?

No problem. The German national team squad features the real-world players, but the competition names and club names are still incorrect (Premier Division as opposed Premier League, Champions Cup as opposed to Champions League, Real San Sebastian as opposed to Real Sociedad etc.).

Thanks. I think that may be because of the way I took the screenshot.

So if I just re-install the (presumably updated) fix as I did in the first instance when the full game is release and each time it's updated, it should enable me to have all the competition and club names/national team squads be corrected again in an existing save, as opposed to only being able to correct everything by starting a new save once the game is released on the 10th?

One question: is it the case again this year as in previous years that it won't be possible to carry a Beta save over into the full release and still be able to have all the corrections? i.e, if you wanted the correct club/competition etc. names and German national team squads, you'd only be able to do so by beginning a new save after the full release with the updated fix?

Okay, thanks for the reply. Anything to do with our notoriously stringent defamation laws by any chance?

Do the data editor or in-game editor offer scope to easily correct club names, three-letter competition names, or journalists etc.? It's either that or wait just over a week to begin my save in earnest otherwise, which is a horrifying thought.
Excellent work on the fixes by the way, download them for each edition of the game and greatly appreciate the work you put in.

Just to clarify something if this can't be resolved: if I repeat the download process for the Facepack and logo packs etc. on the new machine, will they work in the existing save?

I transferred my save over to my new laptop, and also transferred over the face pack, and put it into the graphics folder etc., and ticked the correct boxes in the preferences menu, but the faces aren't there.
Can anyone help?
