So I started a save ages ago and I know I added the German license to my game as I always do.

I’ve noticed since an update the German license fix no longer works.

If I add the German fix now, will it add to my current save or do I need to start a new game?

I can tell you after testing it that the download works... so the problem must be at your end....

try to look at this: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000839.htm

if you use chrome you can resume the download if it is interrupted

Also the new update has made the Montpellier, Dortmund and Lyon third kit not work. Who can fix that? Cheers pal

Yes, although there are still a handful of very minor club name changes to be input (we're talking lower league clubs from various countries here, so it's far from crucial) and some other minor absolutely non-critical changes.

I've taken half a day's leave so I can get home early and get cracking, with a bit of luck I may be able to release the media files quite soon. I'd hold off starting a new game to be honest, as by waiting a few hours you would then be able to enjoy the full file's benefit. Up to you, obviously

Sorry for being misunderstood, but I did not call you a liar, mate. I thought it may appear as if that was my intention (which I assure you is not the case), which is why I had edited my post and added that proviso at the start of the sentence.

But my point in my previous message still stands. As far as I know, it is not possible to change club names in the middle of a save-game through editor data files. Actually, let me amend that slightly: Up to FM16, it was not possible to do so. Though it may not make much sense for them to have done so, maybe SI have changed something behind the scenes to make this possible, perhaps for licensing reasons. Like I said, I'm afraid there isn't any way round it now that the changes are in place. Or at least if there is, then I don't know about it.

One more question so I can see if there's something which can be done at this stage - are the kit colours and style for Brazilian clubs as they should be or are they also bogus?

Edit: Seeing wicksyfm's post, my SI theory may be making a bit more sense now If SI have coded it that way, then I'm afraid there's not much I or anybody else can do. Here's hoping it's just a beta thing and not something which will be in place in the full game...

Can I have screenshots of your 1700 AND 1701 edt/permanent AND lnc folders please? I suspect there could be an extra file or files there which shouldn't be.
