If it is an issue with FM not displaying images correctly in some cases for technical reasons, then there's not much which we can do unfortunately. Personally, I'd be quite surprised if that's the case - in my experience, these kind of issues are almost always down to the files that the user has installed or in the way that they've installed them.

 

I don't play on a Mac, so my practical advice is somewhat limited, but a person having a blank space where their pic should be is usually a config issue. It means the game is finding a config with that UID but not the pic assigned to it. It could be there's a config file somewhere from a previous (or different) facepack installation which was only partly deleted.

 

This is a fresh install from Steam and vanilla megapack download from Sortioutsi so unfortunately that's not the case. It must be a MacOS issue. I have reviewed the config file again in Xcode and everything lines up. I did verify files through Steam and that did not solve the problem either. I will investigate further.

There seems to be an issues on Macs recently. This may not be just related to the Cut-Out packs. There is a post here in SI Forums:

 

FM21, my facepack isnt working (macbook) - Skinning Hideout - Sports Interactive Community (sigames.com)

 

I recently upgraded to a new MacBook (M1 Pro). For some reason, some faces are loading and others are not. All the facepack files are in the correct location. For example, Mo Salah will have an image, while James Milner will not.  However, the James Milner png file is in the folder and matches the unique id in game. On Milner's profile, there will just be an invisible or blank image. Not even a blacked out player face. 

 

Are others encountering this issue? Thanks

With the full game coming out at midnight tonight, when could we expect the updated files to install prior to starting a new game? This is my first year using this and I have loved it in beta. Great work!
