Those are all essentially UIDs of players who were either input incorrectly at some stage, assigned wrongly or otherwise not included correctly. Once an image is included in an update pack, and downloaded on someone's PC, we have no way of removing it, so what we do is just remove it from the config file, so the game doesn't read it at all.

 

Picking one at random, by way of example - 2000220128

 

Awesome, that's reassuring - thanks a lot for taking the time to go through it with me! I appreciate it.

Sure, but I suspect it's something you might not have done correctly at your end since it doesn't seem to be a common issue at all.

 

It's possible, though as I said - I had the megapack installed from launch of FM24 (a clean install as I changed PC) and then last week I installed all updates in chronological order. I presume that each update's config file contains the entirety of the previous updates config information plus it's new information? Obviously the picture packs are just the updates otherwise the file would be huge each time. So I'm not sure how else I could have missed them but if anything is obvious to you in my process please let me know. Seems like there were a few that are not in the config file (I replaced mine with the 0.4 last night as you said) - if these highlight anything to you let me know and I'll be sure to do it differently next time!

I generate the config file myself and upload it with each update pack. Can't understand how the one you had didn't have that particular image 😕

 

Hmm - yeah that is very strange - I'm gonna run a script that cross checks the images folder and then the config to see if there are any others missing. I definitely downloaded all update packs and installed chronologically before - so I'll share that as a .txt file here if that would be of any interest? If there are any results of course.

Thanks for the response - Yeah when I bring in the update pack I copy all of it in, including the config - so I've got no idea what happened there. 

 

I've now updated it with the .04 pack from my downloads folder and that particular one is working now. I'm assuming the Xml is autopopulated based on the contents of the picture folder so for an item to be in the pics folder but not in the config is very unlikely right?

Hey all, 

 

Been using the the megapack for years now, never had the issue I've encountered currently. 

 

So installed the updates to the megapack from last year in chronological order - things seemed to be working fine. I noticed a couple of guys pictures were missing, I sourced them and add them myself, all okay so far. I then notice other guys pictures are missing, I google search their name only for the top results to be the SortitoutSI cutout face link….That's strange…so I go to my folder and search their ID and low and behold their picture is in there. I begin to troubleshoot, I refresh my skin, I change to default skin, I speak to some people in Discord…trying the ‘r-’ prefix (despite the player not being a newgen, someone had said that this can cause issues sometimes this year and it was a last resort). None of those things seem to make a difference. Here's a screenshot example of a player who's profile picture has not generated and his picture is clearly in my folder -

 

 

I've seen above that responses had asked for properties of the directories for the picture so I'll put those here to save time

 

 

 

 

EDIT - I've just noticed that the entry for the pictured player is NOT included in the config file - so this is likely the issue with him - is this an error on my part from installation? Is there a way for me to verify if all images present have a corresponding entry in the xml config without creating a script or something of my own? 

 

Cheers!
