I don’t have any files in the «steamapps» folder… where should i extract the «all» file ?
Darren

Make sure you have followed the path correctly, I don’t see how a legal copy of the game could work if there’s nothing in your steamapps folder.

I installed FM 2015 on a different hard disc…
Johnny Karp
24 октября, 2014 at 21:04
Then the correct «steamapps» folder should be on that hard disk.

I also didn’t have the folder called all in the above mentioned path. It is located in the Inc folder.

Any idea on how to do this on mac?
Johnny Karp
25 октября, 2014 at 17:38
Yes, you should look into USERNAME Library Application Support Steam SteamApps Common Football Manager 2015 Data db 1500. In theory that’s where you will find the folder that you have to replace with the downloaded one.

Worth noting for Mac newbies that your Library folder is hidden on later versions of OSX. :)

I am confused on why you need to DL this and replace the «ALL» folder. You do realize that all you need to do is go in and delete that folder that it unlocks everything. That is all. You don’t need to DL any type of fix. The files are a lock sorta speak, and once you delete them, there is no longer a lock or name change.
So what am I missing buy just deleting the files rather than replacing them with your files?
Johnny Karp
11 ноября, 2014 at 05:22
It’s true, deleting that folder does fix some of the problems but not nearly all of them. Some club name or competition name changes can’t be fixed by deleting the folder, that’s why you have to replace the files with the modified ones. I wouldn’t have spent days on modifying those files for no purpose :)

I installed it like described above. The names of the competitions and the clubs are fixed but there are still fake names in the German and Japanees national team. South Korea is fixed. Can anyone tell me why the fix don’t work with the German and Japan national team??
Johnny Karp
13 ноября, 2014 at 12:21
As said in the post, you will have to wait until they select a squad for a match, they should be fixed.

Tried with Chelsea and Djurgården, still fake names.
Johnny Karp
25 ноября, 2014 at 19:12
If you have fake player names in your squad that might be because you don’t own a legal copy of the game. If you mean club or competition names, please give me more details.

If you don’t have a steamapp folder like me, go to the directory where you installed the game and there should be a data folder there. From there on it’s data > db > 1500 > lnc > all
Just extract the files to the ‘all’ folder. Thank me later

Using OSX yosemite and there’s no steamapps folder in my library>application support anybody else had this problem? If so how did you solve it?

On Yosemite Tthe Library folder is hidden. Click the desktop to make sure you’re in the Finder, hold down the Option key, then choose Go > Library.

When this is applied to 15.3.0 patch, many clubs lose their nicknames.
Johnny Karp
28 февраля, 2015 at 17:39
Can you give me one or two examples? That shouldn’t happen because these files have nothing to do with the nicknames.
Cabbage
1 марта, 2015 at 05:49
I didn’t have too much time, but just loaded top tiers of England, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Ukraine, Holland. England, Italy, Spain and France seems fine, in Germany: Wolfsburg, Dortmund, Schalke, Mainz, Augsburg and few others; in Holland: AZ, Groningen, Twente, Utretcht and few others; In Portuga: Benfica, Braga, Porto and few others; InUkraine: Dynamo Kiev,Illichivets, Metalist, Dnipro.
Actually, I just checked my 15.0.0 (with name fix applied) save and clubs like Schalke, Dortmund, Dnipro, Dynamo Kiev don’t have one there either, so maybe they never had one. Though, I know that FM14 had them.
Johnny Karp
1 марта, 2015 at 07:51
That might be the case due to licensing reasons. All I know is that when I made the files for the fix I never entered or altered any nicknames.

Johnny Karp
19 марта, 2015 at 20:39
It should be in the same place, either Program Files on Program Files (x86) if you are using a 64-bit version of Windows. If you still can’t find it you can always use the search feature to look for it.
