Maybe it's a Mac thing, but I know plenty of people using Macs who are running the MP without any issue at all.

Everything both of you are describing appears to be in order. Either there's something minute which is stopping the pack from working or somehow you've not installed it correctly, but it doesn't look like it to me, I have to say


After starting from scratch 3 or 4 times and carefully going through all required steps I am still unable to get the pack to be applied in game.

Judging by another user having the exact same problem I think it is safe to deduce that it is not myself making an error in the setup process, therefore I feel I am entitled to ask for a refund as I bought the membership upon the promise that I would have access to this.

I understand you have tried helping me and it is not your fault, but it is unacceptable that I have not received what I payed for.

Thanks.

There's only so much I can do without screenshots. Can you please give me screenshots of inside your faces folder as well? What is the size of that particular folder?

The large amount of data could be taken up by the logos and kits only, they could take up easily 4-5GB.


My bad, I had always opened the folder then exited pretty quickly, it was only when I had the folder open whilst taking pic did I realise there was some time for the loading of the pics inside, so here are the screenshots of inside the faces/iconfaces folders.

The faces folder is 9.77GB for 193,848 items, whereas the iconfaces folder is 286.8MB for the same no. of items.

Can I see inside your faces folder as well? You should have 190,000+ images in a single folder, plus the config.xml file.

Also, remind me, what is your exact issue? Are all images not showing or just part of them?


My issue is that no faces are showing up in game.

Inside the kits and logos folders I actually see lots of little images of various kits/logos (and these are successfully applied in game), whereas when I open both the faces and iconfaces folders located in the sortitoutsi folder it is just white/blank as if there is nothing in there. I just presumed this was because there is so many items as when I have nothing but the 'sortitoutsi' folder on my external, a large amount of space is used so the data is in there somewhere?

Thanks

Clicking add attachment in the reply box allows you to upload attachments to this forum, as per the attached screenshot

Without screenshots, much as I would like to, my ability to help is somewhat limited. It's like asking a doctor to diagnose and illness via a telephone call


Hopefully I've got everything, (note that on my first attempt last week I deleted the two additional files in the sortitoutsi folder that appears after extraction, but as it didnt work I have left them there this time around, don't know if this has any effect).

I'm not sure what you've done as it's not entirely clear, sorry.

What you need to do is
a) change your user data folder on Steam
b) manually move your whole "old" Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2018 folder (not just the graphics, all of it) into the folder specified in the above step, in your case presumably on your external hard disk.

If you still can't figure out what you've done wrong, please post screenshots of
a) your user data folder as amended on your Steam profile
b) the user data folder on the external HDD, clearly showing the patch
c) your megapack folder in this folder

I don't think you're too far off from having it working as intended, truth be told.


Hi, this is my text in the user data folder:

--user_data_location="</Users/Zak/NO NAME/fm18>"

'NO NAME' is the name of my external. Does this seem right? I took screenshots but it seems I have to make a online account to upload and get URLs for them to post here.

Thanks.

I'm not sure why you say that you could not get the data on the external to be applied in-game. I and many others do that successfully. Have you changed your user data folder as outlined here and as also indicated in the OP?

I'm not sure how you've managed to get a 9GB to take between 25-30GB of space, and what that's got to do with whether and how this file works tbh


Okay so I went to the link and changed my user data folder, following the steps to a T yet when I load FM all the sub folders are not created like it says in the post you linked. I hope this is because I have not done "and as also indicated in the OP?" because I don't know the acronym as 'original post(er)' doesn't fit. I hope this is the only problem left now, please explain (just to clarify I am not a total buffoon, as I have got the kits/badges and real names fix to all work first time of asking, it's just these instructions don't seem to be getting me anywhere).

Thanks a lot.

This file has over 192,000 faces and icons, so it must not have extracted correctly.

Can you download the 10.01 pack again and make sure it downloads fully? I also suggest using Winrar to extract it as that's the problem it was created with.


Firstly thankyou for your help. So I uninstalled everything and tried again, and got to ~150,000 items before my computer ran out of space. Subsequently I bought an external hard drive online (hence the delay) and after successfully downloading the ~190,000 items I realised that I could not get the data on the external to be applied in-game.

I would like to request that You may be able to assist me and get this to work, or if not possible like I suspect, you will be able to issue me a refund, because the files took between 25 and 30 GBs of space, now this on top of the 9GB already downloaded and as advertised I don't think is unreasonable to be annoyed that even when having 4x the advertised space, it still is not enough.

Thanks.

There still is a torrent link, you know

a) How many images in total do you have in your megapack folder?
b) What was the size of the file that you downloaded? Did you use Winrar (or a similar program) to extract it?
c) Can you give me a screenshot of what a random player looks like in-game (i.e. one who should have a MP image)?

a) 13,255 in faces and 397 in iconfaces

b) It was the 9GB one (9.07 i think) and I used The Unarchiver for extraction.

c) I can if needed but there is no change, just the standard black silhoettes

Hi, I just bought membership to download the pack and after doing everything in the instructions (including the extraction) the faces still aren't loading in-game. Please help me! Thanks.
