Everything looks absolutely fine - I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong

Did you do the fmxml thingy?


Hi Mons,

Sorry for the late response.

I haven't been able to try and fix the folder you suggested I try and fix. I actually think it may be beyond me!

Do you think if I uninstall and reinstall the game the facepacks may work?

It's possible there may be some of them still around, but it doesn't explain why some cuts appear and some not...

Can you go to Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2017 and search for 62076152 and give me a screenshot of the result?


Is this what you're looking for?

I'll give it a crack.

Do you think the previous facepacks may have disrupted something?


The one I installed previously (outdated style) is what I'm referring to in my previous message...

Looks fine here too. I'm a bit mystified now tbh as everything appears to be in order.

Perhaps it's a config issue, so let's try to create a new one. Can you try downloading this file? Have a look at this video to operate it - it's really as easy as dragging the faces folder into the text box and generating a new config file to overwrite the existing one.

Do you think you can manage to do that?

Ok, you can close that folder then.

Can I have a screenshot of the folder before this one? i.e. Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2017 > graphics

Also, when you are next in-game, can you untick the use skin cache box, quit the game, close Steam, then try to load up the game and check Can's profile to see if his face has appeared...


I have attached the screen shot you requested.

I also tried what you requested and unforrtunately Can's image has not appeared...

I needed to see the folder from the top, not the bottom. My bad, I wasn't clear. This basically, but once it's been ordered.

Are there any sub-folders in the folder? Also, is there an image named 92021718 in the main MP folder?


There are no subfolders I can see. The only other files are 'config' and a word readme which were visible on my previous attachment...

There is an image named 92021718 in the folder.

It is still 'organising' the images at present...

The time the folder takes to open doesn't really have anything to do with whether the game "sees" them or not. It's to be expected that it takes a bit of time, it has 179 thousand odd images to sort, after all...


Ok I have attached what I think you're looking for.

I did try a different facepack prior to this one and it worked fine but I didn't like the style. I have since deleted it permanently. I think it's one of the outdated ones on your site with the players name underneath the pic...

Hmm, nothing seems out of place from those screenshots and the amount of images seems about right.

Do you have any other facepacks installed perchance? Also, can I have a screenshot of the contents of the faces folder? Do give your PC time to sort out the folder in alphabetical order. This will allow me to see if there are any sub-folders.


Ok.

I have am letting the computer 'open' the folder properly.

I see the load time for that is quite lengthy - it's still showing a loading circle next to my mouse (maybe been 5 mins already).

Perhaps once it has done that the skin will work??

Seems to me like you either did not download the full pack or that you've somehow not installed it correctly, but I just can't give you any meaningful advice without seeing your folder structure.

Even if you take photos of the screen with your mobile and post them here, perhaps that could be enough.

In addition, can you tell me if you have 178,000 images (or thereabouts) in your megapack folder?


Hi Mons,

I have 179524 pictures in the 'faces folder' and 179521 pictures in the 'iconfaces' folder.

I have attached all the relevant screenshots/photos you requested. Please let me know if you require any more.

Please let me know how to proceed. I have also tried ticking and unticking the 'use caching to decrease page loading times' box without it working.

I also tried removing the folder to the desktop and clearing the cache and then placing it back and reloading the skin without any luck....

I have included faces that work as well at those that don't work. You will also notice that the metallic logos and kit graphics work perfectly.

I look forward to your help

Hi there, I've moved your posts to this thread, which is the dedicated thread for assistance with installation for the cutout faces megapack.

Can I have screenshots of :
* the contents of your megapack folder (displaying the path clearly)
* how the images currently look in-game
* your interface in-game preferences?

Let me know if the above is clear, happy to elaborate further if necessary...


Hi Mons.

Appreciate your help. I'm struggling to supply you with what you requested. Can't find the folder my screens hits are stored! As you can see I'm not gods gift to computing.

The plot thickens however as I have now noticed that some of the faces have loaded but not all of them. I'm playing a save with Liverpool. All my staff have their faces but none of my playears.....it's like that for almost all he teams actually. Strangely Grujic has his face as well as one of my young signings Kuki.

Clearly it's working just not in totality.

Any advice??
