Firstly, ALWAYS back up original files before updating to third party files. Failing that, “Verify integrity of game files” via Steam. That will replace all original game files.

For sure it's a blessing that we have the FM community with the likes of Daz, whose attempt to “polish the turd” is admirable. It's a question of how far can we, or allowed to go, in the pursuit of making a console game into an immersive experience. Flut...

Update 3 has been launched on the Steam on the Steam beta track. More bugs killed but for me at least the 3d match play is still a mess. They're saying the 60Hz refresh issue has been resolved but if I run it at 60fps or Automatic my GPU runs at 99% with...

He's right for pointing this out, FM26 doesn't always recognise different folders. If the suffix reads the same for 2d and 3d kits, wherever placed, they won't display correctly. It's also not consistent, for example, I changed my my 3d kits from team_1,t...

I certainly share your thoughts, comments and opinions of FM26, good buddy. What on earth were their thought processes when building FM26 ! They've bitten the hand that feeds them by not listening to the wealth of feedback on numerous forums. Clearly, the...

FM26 is SO disappointing. It's taken 2 years to get it done and they've ended up bowing down to the lowest common denominator. FM was never designed as a console game, yet that's exactly what they've turned it into. The UI is a mess, there's no continuity...

Yes it is. Make sure you downloaded the png version and double check your config file.

Fair enough buddy and thanks again for another awesome kit but I'm keeping it as the third kit until the club confirms otherwise.

The club have not defined away and third kits, they're simply called Eagle White and Eagle Gold. It's your choice until an official statement is released.

Oh I see. Firstly you agree with another comment that I was wrong to highlight the NO REQUESTS directive, now you want my help ? The inc folder can be found at “Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2024\data\database\db\2430”. Open the 2430 folder and...

Yep, you need Elland Road to be your fortress. I'm happy with the Conference draw. Good signing of Yéremy Pino from Villareal today. We need the creativity, the ball skills and the unexpected that Eze gave us.

That's why I kept well out of the way of the Man U bashing, I could sense Darrell's pain.

NO predominately black kit is “amazing”, to me. Each to their own, I guess.

Yes, use notepad or better still download Notepad++. Then open the inc file and edit any team, cup or tournament names. Save and you're done. It will show in saved games.

Well said buddy. I have to hold back more times than I care to mention, after warnings on Si and a comment ban on fmscout Lol.

The file should read  ‘simatch.fmf’ when installed, nothing else. If you actually wrote it exactly as I said, you will get an error. I was simply saying how the file should look when correctly installed. Whatever, it's working now.

Have you renamed the file to “simatch.fmf” ? You need to or the file won't be recognised.

New UEFA Champions League match ball. Change ball name that which matches the config file in the ball pack you are using.

Improved (alternative) EPL Summer and Winter match balls. Simply rename the balls to match the config file entry in whatever ball pack you are using.

Problem is, it means starting a new save and losing your career progress. I manually edit the inc file with Notepad, save and it's done.

With any kit issued, it's irrelevant what league they are in as the config file entry doesn't change and the team will display in the league they are currently in.

I completely agree with the comments made. Although not yet banned from the Si forums, I have been warned and threatened with such a thing. They're a closed shop and react strongly against any level of criticism. Also, as Daz has mentioned, it's the FM co...

Yes, the guy has a questionable past. In this instance, the ball pack is effectively cloned without giving credit and the adboards are nothing special, yet he wanted to charge for the privilege. Combine that with an arrogance and attitude that goes agains...

Ok, point taken on your second question but the shirt name/number size and position information in the skin pack is still applicable to the FC12 kits.😊

Flut supplies a set of alternative folders and fixes with his skins. If you can't be bothered to read them, why should others bail you out for your laziness ??

That's how it is, mate. Many teams have adopted mostly black for away and third kits. I agree, it's all a bit cold and sombre.

Ouch, when the Brighton yellow away kit in 3D is released before the Palace yellow away kit in 3D, kinda hurts as only a Palace supporter would understand, lol.

Absolutely right buddy. I have a high end PC and run FM maxed out on all settings at 4k on a 4k monitor and for sure you can't see such minor detail with the current FM graphics engine. Some people ! lol

Spot on buddy. Of course there's no way yet that creators can confirm what add-ons can be made for FM25, as it's a completely new platform. Also, I fully endorse your comments about the pressures and time constraints with creators and rebuke some posts my...

Logo's work fine in FM24. Retrace your steps and look again at config files.
