I think it was FM14, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm afraid your recollections are slightly mistaken as ever since this happened, it was not possible to have different short and long names for Portuguese clubs.

When you delete cache and preferences, what you are effectively doing is restoring the game to its default state. What happens is that, since some of the files in the default game installation are re-created using this process, then some of the changes made by this download are negated. You will need to re-download the files from this download and re-apply them to the letter. Happily, the German national team issue fix is save-game compatible, although it is not instantaneous - it will only happen the next time that German national players are called up.

Hope this helps


Hi, yeah that helps a lot, thanks. Just one question, apart from deleting cache and preferences, there shouldn't be a problem, right? Say for example the game updates, this shouldn't affect the state of the German national team in my existing save, right? Only when I start a new game after an update, I'll need to re-apply the fix, correct?

Again, thanks for your help!

Hi,

So basically, I had applied the fix and the German national team had the real players in the team. However, due to an issue with the game, I had to delete cache and preferences and "verify integrity of game cache". After I did this, after playing a few months in the game, I realized that the German national team was again populated with fake players and not the real ones. I just wanted to check, is what I did, i.e. delete cache and preferences etc. the reason for this? I've been playing FM for years and I didn't think an existing save game could be affected by something like this. Or could there be another reason for this?

Note: My other save games (including an earlier version of the affected game) weren't affected. I hadn't played them in a while, and when I checked they still had the real German players. It's only the save game which I played for a few in-game months that reverted to fake German players.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!
