Hi

Hope someone can, I went onto Steam and it's downloaded the new file 1712 - I cannot delete any of the folders. It's saying I need permission to delete these folders. I've never had this message before with the other updates.

Anyone got any suggestion on how to delete the 3 folders inside the 1712 folder?

Have you changed the user data folder from within Steam? Otherwise the files must be placed in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2017 and not the OneDrive equivalent.

You've placed the editor data folder in the wrong section completely, mate.

Have a look at the path in the screenshot in the OP relating to the editor data files for guidance.


Yeah sorry I have fixed this issue now

Cheers

Hi,

Just bought a new PC and installed the game and all the downloads. The only issue I seem to have is with some German team names like Schalke and Borussia Mönchengladbach, they have different name. I have started a new game hoping that the right names would appear but still nothing is working.

Would anyone be able to assist me?

Hello,

I am thinking of getting a mac, as my laptop is getting on a bit and windows 10 is horrendous. For the mac users what would you recommend?

Cheers

That is the correct file size so you're fine there. What program are using to extract the images? I recommend winrar.



For both of you:

What operating system are you using? E.g. mac/windows

What browser are you using e.g: Chrome/Firefox/Opera

Does it always stop on the same file size, if so what is the exact size in bytes?

In your downloads you should see something like files1.sortitoutsi.net?key=12345 what does it say?

This file was created through Winrar so downloading Winrar for Mac should work in theory

It's a pity, agreed. Hopefully they'll add that functionality at a later date...


I see now that the database for is up and running. Will the players at their clubs be showing too?

Cheers

The real names fix is available and ready to go. As for the FM17 database, we hope to have it online in the next few weeks, yeah.


Hi Mons

Just noticed that the FM2017 is up now, that was quick.

Seem SI have scored an own goal with the 3d manager's face. Can't see why I can't use one of my own pics like you could do last year.

I agree, it is annoying and I want my own pic back.

I am fearful that it might not happen though, it was talked about and "passed on to the SI team" a lot during BETA and nothing happened...

My biggest fear is they go the way of £££ DLC


What's the logic behind the 3d face generator?

SI thread

"Our concerns have been passed on"



Nice one, so what's your opinion on this?
Do you reckon SI will sort this out, shouldn't be a difficult thing to do.
I used my ID code and copied a pic of myself into the facepack but nothing happened

I think when it comes to tactics you can't be chopping and changing all the time, then the team has no rhythm. Playing a lot of friendlies is a good way to start, as the players will be getting match fit plus getting used to your tactic. Also when it comes to training personally I set my training to tactical very high for pre season only, and then obviously look to reduce that at the beginning of the season

Also I think having too many team instructions can also be a hindrance.

I am still a fan of the 4-4-2, provided that you have very good wide players with good crossing.

I'll look to get some screen shots up soon on here.

That's the beauty of FM, everyone has their own style and what works for me might not work for someone else and vice versa

Alright everyone,

Hope everyone is enjoying the game so far!

When you create your manager's profile, is there anyway that you can use your own face as opposed to this 3d face generator. The 3d face generator has me looking like Sean Dyche chewing a wasp haha

Just to point out I look nothing like Sean Dyche. I would rather go back to FM2016 where you could use a real pic.

It should 177,000 but the difference is not that important. I thought it may have been the case that you downloaded a partial version of the megapack.

I'm not sure how you managed to get an icon version of Pulisic instead of the main cut. Just save the 8.06 cut from here instead of it, and you'll be fine


Cheers mons for that

In terms of the media files, are they more or less good to go now?

Also the FM2017 database, should that be up and running in the next few weeks?

Thanks once again for your assistance

It has prompted me to merge and overwitre, but I am still missing players like Dembele and Mor and Pullsic at Dortmund and Isak at AIK. The new pic of Messi works fine the one he's sporting a beard.

Seems the issue is with the wonderkids that don't seem to be showing.

I can locate the pics of those players in my faces file plus they're all in the config ID page.

Latest - Got them all working apart from Pullisic his pic is blurry for some reason

Hello,

Anyone help in terms of updating the packs. I've downloaded the megapack but the latest updates aren't showing. When I download the latest facepacks, do I just copy the pics or do I need to include the config.xml icon as well into the megapack folder.

Anyone who can help please do so, this is doing my head in

Mons you should be knighted for the work you do on here

If it wasn't for this website I doubt I would play FM to be honest, so thanks to everyone who contributes to making this website. Your hard work is very much appreciated.

Hello Rob,

Hope you are well.

When will the FM2017 database be up and running?

I was going to create a few facepacks for new youngsters who will be appearing in FM for the first time, for example Alexander Isak of AIK Solna. He's only 16 but I've heard he's a wonderkid in this game.

Yeah sorry, I meant in the guides and tips tab I was asking if the FM2017 datebase will be up and running soon. I know it's unavailable just now.

Basically I was wanting to create face packs for new players in the game, youth players for teams that I support before the game is released next week

For example Alexander Isak of AIK isn't in FM2016 but he'll be in FM2017 so I was just looking to get his ID number.

Actually this may have been related to a different bug and should now work with winrar again


Alright Rob,

Yeah you may be right, but yeah I am able to download all the 16/17 kits now.

Just out of curiosity the logo pack for the new game, is that just similar to the logo pack for FM 2016?

I wouldn't imagine there would be a great deal of difference between them both?

I'll be honest I didn't realise winrar had an option to open straight away and not save to your folder. I'll look into it I have an idea what it might be


Hi Rob,

Problem sorted, yeah I've worked out how to save the file and open it with WinRAR. As I said usually I can open the file immediately after downloading it with WinRAR, but I was having to save the file, then open the file using WinRAR.

Cheers

Hi @Celtic1984 Are you having trouble downloading or opening the file, it's not clear?

I assume the process is:

Step 1) View file on Browser
Step 2) Click download and save file to a folder on your computer
Step 3) Open file with Winrar

Which step are you having issues with? And what error are you getting? Unfortunately there is next to nothing I can do without more information or an error message.


Hi Rob,

Thanks for coming back to me. Hopefully you can assist me

When I go to download say for example the English premiership kits for 16/17 - the file downloads, but I cannot open with WinRAR. I have WinRAR installed, the browser that I am using is Firefox.

1. I click on download then it shows a picture of my C drive and asks me to save it. There is no option to open that file with WinRAR in order to transfer the kits to the appropriate folder
2. The logo and facepack files for 16/17 are working fine, when I download them I can open them with WinRAR, just appears to be the kits for 16/17 that's causing an issue.
3. I tried downloading the Austrian Mitteleague kits 16/17 and I was able to open that with WinRAR immediately
4. Usually when I download anything I can open it with WinRAR straight away and transfer the file into my graphic pack.
5. I had an issue with the German real names 16/17 too, but one of the guys sent me a new link to download the file and I was able to open with WinRAR and transfer that to the correct folder.

I am actually at work at the moment, so unable to take screenshots of the message that I am getting. I can send you the image later on today.

Just as a alternative, should I save for example the English Premiership kits 16/17 onto my desktop and then right click and open with WinRAR?
Not sure if that would work.

I have been using this site for years to download files and never had any issue downloading files until now. I have the latest WinRAR version downloaded and my browser is up to date

Hopefully you can help, I'll send you a screen shot later on.

Cheers

Could be an issue with the format the files are saved in on our servers? I'm not technical at all, letting @Rob know...


Yeah no worries at all.

I tried downloading the Austrian Region Mitte league as a test and I was able to open that using winrar.

Just appears to be most of the other kits for 16/17 that are an issue.

There does appear to be a lot of downloads for the English Premiership kits for 16/17, so it would suggest it's working. Not really sure why I am not being able to open that file with winrar. I have the latest version of winrar.

Maybe Rob would be able to assist me.

Thanks for the link for the real name and German national team

Works absolutely fine here

Can you try downloading from this link? https://www.sendspace.com/file/tcpt69


Excellent it is now working with the link that you sent me :-)

I am also have the same issue with the new kits 16/17, although I am able to download the new facepack fine (the latest version I mean) I have all the older one's already.

I tried download the English Premiership kits and yeah it's asking me to save as opposed to letting me open with winrar
