Hello my friends! As I promised earlier today I’m publishing the post about the best facepack for Football Manager 2010. There’s not much too say about it, over 50,000 players and staff pictures from all over the world, a must have for any Football Manager fan. Here is how the pictures look in my game:
Download Links
The file is huge, almost 3 GB, so there are two download solutions available:
— download torrent file here (provided thanks to FMScout.com)
— download split file — follow this link and download all 27 pieces
Go to the next page for instructions on how to install the facepack in your game.

Thank you for putting up the facepack post. The file is really big, will try to download.
JohnnyKarp
13 ноября, 2009 at 08:39
I would recommend using the torrent file, it took me only around half an hour to download it that way.

Could someone tell me how to do it step by step? I’m not very good at it. I downloaded torrent file from that link and then what? Please help!
JohnnyKarp
15 ноября, 2009 at 22:49
@Ziggy
I will help you but I don’t understand if you downloaded only the torrent file or the megapack itself through bittorrent.
JohnnyKarp
16 ноября, 2009 at 00:14
@Ziggy
If you downloaded only the torrent file you should install a BitTorrent client, I would suggest uTorrent — download it from here and install it on your PC. After that you must open the torrent file that you downloaded with uTorrent and the whole megapack should be downloaded to your PC in a while, depending on your internet connection speed.
If you have trouble with torrents you can always download the 14 files from Rapidshare…
Let me know when you have downloaded the megapack and I’ll guide you through from there.

i download but when i extract show me a message
the arhive is either in unknown format or damaged
please help
i took me a two and a half days to download
JohnnyKarp
19 ноября, 2009 at 09:58
@Banja
Did you download via bittorrent or from rapidshare? Make sure the download is complete and maybe try another program to extract the archive, I use Izarc and PeaZip.

which part is the premiership one ?
JohnnyKarp
20 ноября, 2009 at 21:48
@Callum
I don’t think the Premiership pics are all in one part.
ziggy
20 ноября, 2009 at 20:50
finally i downloaded that megapack yesterday and extracted it with no problem at all however before i started i created my manager profile and i added one of my photos. after that in game preferences i unticked ‘skin cache’ and ticket ‘always reload skin and and confirm’ and then i confirmed this. during the game i noticed that my picture disapeared from my profile. could someone advice me how to resolve the problem and bting my picture back in to my profile. all the faces i downloaded are ok!
JohnnyKarp
20 ноября, 2009 at 21:48
@Ziggy
I’m happy you made it! The same thing happened to me with my picture in FM 2009, I didn’t add one in FM 2010 yet. Here’s how I did it in FM 2009, it should work in FM 10 too:
If you follow all these steps correctly it should work.
1. select “Show Unique ID’s” in the game preferences
2. Go to your manager home page and you should see your unique ID at the top, just below your name.
3. Create a folder called me in Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\graphics\
4. Download this file and save it to that folder you just created. Open it in a text editor and change the 2 picture values to your unique id. (in my file the value is 1394644719)
5. Take a picture of yourself and save it in the same folder. Rename the file with your unique id ( 1394644719.png in my case)
6. in the game preferences – Display & Sound untick ‘Use Skin Cache’ and tick ‘Always Reload Skin on Confirm’. Press Confirm and it should now work.
Hope it helps.

rapid links are dead, can you repost?
i would download the torrent file, but why i live at the moment p2p clients are not allowed :(
JohnnyKarp
3 декабря, 2009 at 13:46
@Benji
Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I don’t have any other links to give you for the moment, so the torrent download is the only option for now. I will try to upload it somewhere else but it might take a while, I’ll try to do it as soon as possible.
Benji
3 декабря, 2009 at 14:15
And i will in the meantime try to find somewhere else where internet is open to p2p clients…
But let me know when you try and upload the files again.
JohnnyKarp
3 декабря, 2009 at 14:41
Sorry Benji, I’ll do my best but it might take a few days. I’ll let you know.
JohnnyKarp
3 декабря, 2009 at 20:31
Benji, I’m currently uploading the thing, you can follow this link and download all 27 pieces (half of them are already uploaded, the rest will be there in a few hours).
Benji
3 декабря, 2009 at 21:21
Nice, thanx alot!

Hey, I’m completels new to Football Manager, only played easports one’s from 2002 to now, and I’m hella bored… anyway, what I wanted to ask: Are there still rs links for this?
JohnnyKarp
7 декабря, 2009 at 19:02
@milseN
Nope, the RS links are gone, I uploaded the pack to another site, mediafire.

8 декабря, 2009 at 09:14
hey,i downloaded the first part but theres no config file,does it come in a later part?
JohnnyKarp
8 декабря, 2009 at 09:46
@Neal
You should download all the pieces, I don’t know where the config file might be but if you want just that file I think that you’ll have a better chance if you download the last part.
k
9 декабря, 2009 at 14:38
nice! waiting for other direct links (f**k RS) and ur the man!
hope all links work fine?
anyway, is it going to be a problem if i download,extract and blabs it in my graphics folder WITHOUT deleting my current faces as im afraid the megapacks’faces (some) not going to be as cool as mine (: lol
in short is it okay? i thought maybe some faces wont be displayd if there are 2 same faces. i hope u gt me LOL
JohnnyKarp
9 декабря, 2009 at 15:18
The link is there, just below the torrent link. If you want to keep your existing faces make sure you also keep your existing config.xml file that goes with those pictures. I would suggest making two separate folders, one with your faces and one for the megapack and see what happens. I don’t know what will happen with duplicate faces, which ones the game will pick to display. It’s kinda complicated.
k
9 декабря, 2009 at 15:43
to make my question simpler,
can you place more than one facepack in that folder?
if so is there a problem if the facepacks had some of the same pics?
will there be a problem with there being more than one pic of certain players?
im afraid there’ll be some kind of ‘crash’ in the game ):
JohnnyKarp
9 декабря, 2009 at 15:59
I don’t know if the game will crash, I never tried more than one facepack at the same time. Try it and see what happens :) But again, I don’t think there will be a crash, hopefully the game will just pick one of the two pictures if there will be duplicates.

Hi there. I’m having difficulty to put my own picture after put the facepack on. I have downloaded the confiq file from the link n managed until step 4. However i couldn’t proceed as I don’t know which program to open it with. Hope u could help me with this:
«Open it in a text editor and change the 2 picture values to your unique id. (in my file the value is 1394644719)
5. Take a picture of yourself and save it in the same folder. Rename the file with your unique id ( 1394644719.png in my case)»
Thanks

12 декабря, 2009 at 15:26
Ben, you can use Notepad to open that file and edit it.

18 декабря, 2009 at 20:22
can you give me some tips for my blog??? like how to get a navbar at the top like you have.. i have been following your blog for ages and am a big fan.
heres my blog..

i appreciate if you could have a look and give me some tips. thanks in advance.
joed
18 декабря, 2009 at 20:40
but when i download the folder it isn’t a zip folder
Johnny Karp
18 декабря, 2009 at 20:43
@Joed
Please tell me if you have the pictures folder or not and where you placed it.
@hARRo
You should look for a Blogger template that includes a navbar… I use WordPress, it’s a slightly different thing. I like the colors that you have though and I wish you good luck with the blog.
joed
18 декабря, 2009 at 21:29
i extract the folder into football manage 2010/data/ picture or graphics so i made them
joed
18 декабря, 2009 at 21:40
then it come up with a error do you want to copy the folder without encryption
Johnny Karp
18 декабря, 2009 at 22:13
@Joed
Mate, I really don’t understand much of what you’re saying. The instructions are in the post and they are pretty clear, if you follow them everything should be fine.
Steven
21 декабря, 2009 at 16:26
What program do you unzip them with?
Johnny Karp
21 декабря, 2009 at 16:59
Steven, you can do that with a wide range of programs: WinZip, WinRar, Izarc, Peazip, there are hundreds of those.
Nick
22 декабря, 2009 at 18:20
The torrent link doesn’t work for me
Johnny Karp
22 декабря, 2009 at 18:53
Nick, that link works for me, maybe you should try a few more times. If it doesn’t work you can go for the other download link although it will take a little longer to download.

i just downloaded it, and the faces haven’t come up on my game?? is it because i have a mac?? not sure what else i should do, thanks
dom
25 декабря, 2009 at 18:01
Hi
I just downloaded the facepack but they are not showing up in game.
1) I installed the FM2010 from fresh
2) Installed the latest 10.2 patch
3) Downloaded the facepack using Torrent
4) Created a folder ‘graphics and pictures’ in C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010
5) extracted the megapack to the ‘graphics and pictures’ folder
6) loaded up the game and clicked in preferences turn of cache and always reload image etc
But when I go in-game the faces are not appearing (I am also using the original FM background (ie not the dark one)
Where am I going wrong ?
Thank You
JC
25 декабря, 2009 at 18:25
that’s exactly the same for me, any clues?????
thanks
dom
25 декабря, 2009 at 21:18
Hi JC
I just figured out how to do it and the facepack now works (looks great by the way)
copy the folder that contains the facepack (ie where you extracted it to — in my case I created a folder called ‘graphics and pictures’)
and then go inside the folder named DATA and just click paste and it will paste the facepack folder = the facepacks then load up when you begin the game
JC
26 декабря, 2009 at 13:56
Hi, is that the data folder in my documents or my computer?? i put it in the my computer, sports interactive, data file, and still no change, very confusing!!
thanks for help
Johnny Karp
26 декабря, 2009 at 16:03
@JC
It’s the folder that the game uses to save files, game cache etc. The easiest way to see which folder it is is by searching for your save game files.

Hello I got through every thing ok all the faces show up but now there are no badges for any of the clubs. none what so ever, can someone please help me ?

Hi,
I downloaded the files from RS but they appear to be corrupt. I have tried repairing the zip files and extracting without confirmation but with no luck. Keeps coming up with «unexpected end of archive» and «CRC failed in megapack this file is corrupt». They are not recognized by WinRAR when intially downlaoded, I have added them to the archive but again with no luck.
any help?!
thanks.

Hi guys,
I’ve downloaded this facepack, and it’s great, but after some time using it the pictures disapeared.
I’ve deleted them, exctract the file again, and still nothing.
Can someone help me?
Johnny Karp
23 января, 2010 at 16:44
@Steve0
Check how many files you have in the extracted folder. If you have only 7k you should delete them and try to extract again.
@Kiril
Did you change anything in the game preferences? Maybe you turned off the «show player pictures» option.
david_silva
25 января, 2010 at 03:23
Hey i got the same problem where it says the files are corrupt…for every single one of the 27 different files from the media share (i cant use torrents where i live) is there any other way to get them?
Johnny Karp
25 января, 2010 at 08:27
@David Silva
Sorry mate, there is no other way. Try using PeaZip to extract the files, it worked for me every single time.
david_silva
25 января, 2010 at 18:29
i downloaded peazip and when i tried to extract it said i need a password? is there one?
Johnny Karp
25 января, 2010 at 18:40
No mate, there is no password.
Kiril
29 января, 2010 at 15:35
No Johnny, I didn’t turn off option «show player pictures”, but I’ll try all over again and hope for the best because this is the best facepack!

Johnny Karp
6 февраля, 2010 at 11:18
@Mazu
You can’t extract unless you have all the 27 files. When you have all of them it will work.
Hammer
6 февраля, 2010 at 14:31
Does this facepack have most of the new young talents for fm2010 in it. Would like pics for all of my new wonderkids :) Just when I looked at the upload date it was march 2009 so it is obviously a fm2009 facepack.
Johnny Karp
6 февраля, 2010 at 14:38
@Hammer
Nope, it’s not a FM2009 pack. I’m using it in FM2010 and it has the pictures of most wonder kids.
mazu
7 февраля, 2010 at 11:09
k now john i already dwnloaded all the 27 files…but when i want to extract it..it says that the file is damaged..try to download it again…is there any other ways that i can do…..TQ

Do you need to start a new game to get the faces
Johnny Karp
2 марта, 2010 at 20:28
@Barry
No, you don’t have to start a new game. Just follow the instructions on how to install it and it should work.

Hey! I’m wondering if it’s easy to add other faces that still are missing? Thanks!
Johnny Karp
13 апреля, 2010 at 13:56
@Alve
I never tried to do that, so I don’t know if it’s easy or difficult. In theory you should add the new pictures and name them according to each player’s unique ID and then edit the config.xml file. But that’s just theory, I don’t know if that’s the right way or not.
Wolcott
22 апреля, 2010 at 11:36
What program do you use to extract the zip files?
Johnny Karp
22 апреля, 2010 at 13:15
@Wolcott
I use a free program called PeaZip.
Wolcott
22 апреля, 2010 at 13:48
I’ve tried extracting with PeaZip but it cannot detect the zip files. Tried WinRAR also but no go.
Johnny Karp
22 апреля, 2010 at 13:51
@Wolcott
You have to try to extract the first piece of the split archive, or at least that’s how I do it an it always works.

And throw in the logos pack too, pretty please. :-)
Otherwise, thanks to you and the authors for a tremendous piece of work.

If you do everything right it should work right away, start the game and the pictures should be there.

C:\Users\Jason\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\players any ideas?

5 июня, 2010 at 18:35
It could be a skin incompatibility, which skin are you using?

i dont understand what the skins are can u explain

5 июня, 2010 at 18:47
ohh i think it isjust the normal one it comes with
Johnny Karp
5 июня, 2010 at 18:49
Hm, it should work just fine then. You can try to see if it works with another skin, otherwise I can’t think of any other advice if you followed all the instructions correctly.
jason
5 июня, 2010 at 18:52
what folder shout you put it in i made one called graphics and then players does it matter what folder it goes in?
jason
5 июня, 2010 at 18:58
also in the documents it doesnt say the players names it just has numbers would that matter
Johnny Karp
5 июня, 2010 at 18:59
Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\pictures\faces\ is the path I’m using, the Megapack 2.0 folder should be placed in there.
jason
5 июня, 2010 at 19:02
should it have all the players names though
Johnny Karp
5 июня, 2010 at 19:04
No, the file names are numbers that correspond to each player’s unique ID number in the game. Do not alter the picture file names, otherwise there won’t be any chance for it to work.
jason
5 июня, 2010 at 19:13
i have just noticed that the folder is zipped is it supposed to be
Johnny Karp
5 июня, 2010 at 19:16
No, you should extract the contents of the archived zip file, that’s all written in the instructions…

Stumbled upon this page whilst searching google for FM10 facepacks. I wanted to know if it was possible to use these facepacks in the Steam version of the game and if so, what folder would I need to place the files into?
Thanks in advance!
Gh0stNote
8 июня, 2010 at 09:25
Also, can anyone confirm if these mappacks cover the MLS? I certainly hope so. If not, is there a MLS mappack I can download from somewhere? Preferably though, I would like to have as many pictures as possible from all clubs
Johnny Karp
8 июня, 2010 at 11:14
@Gh0stNote
I’m using it on Steam, so it surely works. I’m not sure if it covers the MLS but since there are so many pictures I assume that the MLS should be pretty well covered. In fact, this pack was assembled by putting together the various specific league packs available at the time, so it covers most leagues and countries.
Gh0stNote
8 июня, 2010 at 11:24
Thanks man I really appreciate it, downloading it now as I type. Just bought FM10 off Steam aproximately an hour ago. :P Maybe I should have waited for FM11… but oh well..

24 июня, 2010 at 12:16
I have downloaded the torrent, exdtracted the files to a created folder called pictures inside a created graphics folder in my saved game data of football manager. But I have no idea why the faces are still not loaded.
I have unticked skin cache and clicked always reload skin on confirm but the faces wont appear. When it says load game the pictures folder is on the list by it seems there is nothing inside to load.
I have followed the instruction as you have said but something is still wrong do you have any ideas I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks
Johnny Karp
24 июня, 2010 at 12:19
@Liverpool123
Could you check to see what you have inside the graphics/pictures folder? You should have another folder named «faces» with all the picture files in it.
Liverpool123
24 июня, 2010 at 17:11
@Johnny Karp
Thanks so much for your help yeah I hadnt made a faces folder. It works fine now. Cheers for replying so quickly and making this download.

Hope someone can help.

Johnny Karp
25 июня, 2010 at 07:56
@babben
You can activate that option in the game preferences, «show unique IDs» or something like that. With that activated when you go to a player’s profile in the game you will see the ID number under his name.

I’m sorry to ask for Facepack help but i’ve been trying to get this to work for weeks and it’s just not having it.
I’ve downloaded the files and unzipped it. The pictures have been place in the following folder: Documents\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Footbal Manager 2010\Graphics\Pictures\Faces\Megapack2.4.
I’ve also un-ticked the ‘use skin cache’ and have ticked the ‘always reload skin on confirm’ boxes but still cannot get them to load.
I’m currently using the default skin, but have also tried with the Steklo 09 Redux skin and neither work. I have downloaded the patch 10.3 so was wondering if the Facepack works with this patch?
If it does work with patch 10.3 is there meant to be a config file placed somewhere, either in with the pictures or in another folder.
Any help is much appreciated.
Dave
25 июня, 2010 at 20:27
Also I have the logos and kits working just fine, it’s only the facepack that won’t work.
Thanks
Johnny Karp
25 июня, 2010 at 20:38
@Dave
The pack surely works with the 10.3 patch since I’m using it. There should be a config.xml file and that should be located in the Megapack2.4 folder along with all the picture files. This might sound silly but I remember there is an option in the game preferences to show player and staff pictures or not, do you have that activated? It’s in preferences — display and sound — show player and staff pictures and you should have it set to «real and generated pictures» or something like that. Otherwise it seems that you have done everything right and the only other thing that could stop it from working is the skin, you could try a few other skins to see if the problem persists.

25 июня, 2010 at 20:37
I dont know anything about it, but as i can see it it is the link there is wrong:
Documents\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Footbal Manager 2010\Graphics\Pictures\Faces\Megapack2.4
you have to copy/paste the faces one step up so the faces is in the map \faces map! :) Try it maybe it work? :D
/Babben
Dave
25 июня, 2010 at 21:05
babben & Johnny Karp.
Gentlemen, thank you both very much for your help.
To rectify the problem I moved the pictures up a level as advised by babben and re-unzipped the file to locate the config file as advised by Johnny Karp and placed that in the file as well.
Everything is working perfectly.
Thanks again
Johnny Karp
25 июня, 2010 at 21:21

Hey Johnny,
I have something weird happening, some faces are working but some others arent!! this is where I ve put the faces pack : «C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\data\sigfx\graphics\pictures» the folder is called «faces».
Please help about the folders where I should place the «Faces» pack.
Thanks
Johnny Karp
28 июня, 2010 at 13:48
@Moo
You put them in the wrong place. If you would have read the instructions you would have seen the following line: «extract the files to “My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/graphics/pictures». So the «faces» folder should go there.
Moo
28 июня, 2010 at 14:44
Johnny, I tried it now : the faces are all in : C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics !! and yet nothing has changed! the Logos are working & so are the kits, but I just cant get the faces to stick!
Johnny Karp
28 июня, 2010 at 14:53
You should have C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\pictures\faces and all the picture files in that last folder called «faces».
Moo
28 июня, 2010 at 16:20
Now im absolutely going mad! now the directory is : C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\faces & all the faces are in it, and yet nothing is happening! & of course I ticked «always reload skin on confirm» & unticked «use skin cache». does it have anything to do with the «show player and staff pictures» option ?!
Moo
28 июня, 2010 at 16:43
Man, I tried everything, and I dunno why its not happening! my patch is 10.1.0 ,& the kits & logos are in folder : C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\data\sigfx\graphics , & they are working fine! plz advise what you think I should do! even if its installing them again! Im open for anything now! :S
Johnny Karp
28 июня, 2010 at 16:58
@Moo
Just take some time to read what I’m telling you, the pictures should NOT be in …Program Files\whatever… they should be in
My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/graphics/pictures
See the difference?
Gio
12 июля, 2010 at 17:46
Hey Johnny, listen, ive read everything, done everything i needed to, i downloaded the facepack for serie a and followed through with everything, however its only worked for the players of palermo and not all the teams, can you run through the steps for me again please?
Many Thanks
Johnny Karp
12 июля, 2010 at 23:09
@Giovanni
From what I understand you downloaded a different facepack, not this one. Normally the steps to follow should be more or less the same but I guess you should check the instructions for that particular facepack from where you downloaded it. If it shows the pictures for Palermo’s players than the other ones should appear too. How do you have the files, all of the pictures in one folder or a folder for each team?
Moo
28 июня, 2010 at 17:07
I actually did so, the faces are in : C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\pictures , but they dont work, while the kits & logos are in the data\…! and they work !
I dunno man…i know im bothering u with this, but you are my last resort!
Johnny Karp
28 июня, 2010 at 17:12
@Moo
Again, see the difference between Program Files and My Documents?
Moo
28 июня, 2010 at 17:24
ooooooooooooh my God !!! im sorry man! I wasnt focusing on the starting part i was just focusing on the ending whether its «pictures» or «faces» inside the «graphics» part!!! thanks man :D !!!
Johnny Karp
28 июня, 2010 at 17:30
No problem, I hope you’ll sort it out now.
Boris
28 июня, 2010 at 20:30
Hello Johnny!
I have extracted all the files, and I can see the pictures in the folders… But there is not «names» under each picture… There is some numbers… I am new to this, so don’t blame me… How do Fm 10 know which picture belongs to which person, when the pictures is with numbers? I hope for an answer! by the way thanks for the upload! Enjoy your day!
Johnny Karp
28 июня, 2010 at 21:27
@Boris
Each player and staff is assigned an unique number, that’s the explanation. You can see those exact same numbers in the game if you select «show unique IDs» or something like that in the game preferences.
Boris
28 июня, 2010 at 22:46
Oh okay! Thank you alot! I will try that out tommorrow, and I hope that it will work! Thank you for your fast respons! I really appreciate it ;) Goodnight!
Boris
28 июня, 2010 at 22:50
Now I have these 27 folders. Should I put each of these 27 folders in my folder called «pictures»?
Johnny Karp
29 июня, 2010 at 08:20
@Boris
If you extracted the files you should have just one folder with all the pictures in it, not 27 folders.
Boris
29 июня, 2010 at 14:38
Mhmm… Then I extracted them in a different way… I think that it will work although if you have 27 folders or 1 folders… I have the PNG pictures with an unique ID… Do you think that it will work if I put all the pictures in 1 folder, and then put the folder in «pictures»?
Johnny Karp
29 июня, 2010 at 14:45
@Boris
That’s a good solution, put all of them in one folder named «faces» and them put that folder in «pictures». That’s how I have them in my computer.
Boris
29 июня, 2010 at 16:26
Okay thank you SO much Johnny! I really appreciate it! Have fun, and enjoy your day! Thank you again!
Johnny Karp
29 июня, 2010 at 17:47

No problem mate, have fun!
Boris
29 июня, 2010 at 19:17
Hello again! I have this problem :( I have all the PNG pictures in 1 folder. I placed the folder to the folder called «graphics» and then I ticked “always reload skin on confirm” and I unticked “use skin cache”. I tried first of all to find a player. In my case I chose Wesley Sneijder. I found his ID and then I tried to find the ID in the folder with all the pictures in. I found him, so there is nothing worng with the pictures… But it seems like I can’t get them on my screen in FM10… I tried to rename the folder «faces» «facepack» «players» but it won’t work… I can’t get them into FM10… I hope you can find a solution to my problem!
Johnny Karp
29 июня, 2010 at 19:30
That’s weird. Make sure you also have the config.xml inside that folder with all the pictures. As I said, mine are in graphics/pictures/faces.
Boris
29 июня, 2010 at 20:04
Oh :S I don’t have the «config.xml» in my folder… I didn’t get one of those config.xml whit the downloads… Can I get it somewhere else?
Boris
29 июня, 2010 at 20:24
Oh! Never mind! I have found out how it works! Now I have all the pictures! Thanks again my friend! I won’t ask you more more :) Thanks! Enjoy! Cheers! :)

Hey,
I downloaded the Megapack from the torrent link, but it says «Error in packed file» when trying to open the zip file (size: 2,759,404,889). Any idea?
Johnny Karp
2 июля, 2010 at 08:52
Zoltan, the torrent link is provided by somebody else so I don’t know what happens there. However I did test that torrent download and it worked file, the files extracted with no particular problem. You could try to download it again, maybe the file didn’t download completely.
Zoltan
4 июля, 2010 at 00:40
Hi,
Ok, I downloaded it again, and I have the same error message: «Error in packed file»… With what packer did you zip the files?
Moo
2 июля, 2010 at 19:15
Johny! hey im sorry man its been a long time without me replying back! I had some unknown problems, i deleted the megapack then reinstalled and suddenly it worked :D !! thanks for your help man!

3 июля, 2010 at 16:50
Hello I dont really know if you can help wit this but I re-installed my game with steam and now all the logos and pictures are gone.
Will installing this help it or nor?
Johnny Karp
3 июля, 2010 at 17:00
I don’t understand exactly what happened, did you have this pack previously installed or not? Anyway, some logos and pictures should show with or without this pack so I’d suggest you to check your installation and game preferences, something might have gone wrong.
Kiezo
3 июля, 2010 at 18:08
I didnt have anything previously installed I just decided to install it again using steam to update as I am useless at putting files in or anything
Johnny Karp
3 июля, 2010 at 20:21
Well I can’t tell what happened. Did you uninstall the game properly before re-installing it? Anyway, if you didn’t have this pack before re-installing I can’t see how adding it would solve your problem.
Kiezo
3 июля, 2010 at 21:09
OK thanks anyway it was worth a try.
And I definitely uninstalled it properly
Johnny Karp
3 июля, 2010 at 21:31
One last thing, you could also check the in-game preferences and see if you selected the options to display player faces and team badges, I remember there were such options but I might be wrong.
Kiezo
4 июля, 2010 at 14:12
I’ll try uninstalling it again but it may not help
Johnny Karp
4 июля, 2010 at 16:03
I’m sorry mate, I wish I could figure out what goes wrong there.
babben
5 июля, 2010 at 08:15
I want to use the faces on a websites, is that possible? And what about the copyrights on the pictures?
Johnny Karp
5 июля, 2010 at 10:05
Well, I’m not a legal expert but my guess is that as long as you do not sell the pictures you should be alright. Those who hold the legal rights might ask you to remove the pictures if you put them up for free but if you plan on selling them then you might end up in a painful lawsuit. But again, I’m no expert in this matter.
babben
6 июля, 2010 at 08:15
I will absolut not do any sales, I will just use the pictures in a program and a website for footballstats etc.! :o)
Johnny Karp
6 июля, 2010 at 09:16
It shouldn’t be a problem then. Let me know when you’ll have the website ready, I’d love to have a look! ;)
Danilo
8 июля, 2010 at 23:48
I have tried many things, but I can’t make it work.
I have the faces AND the config.xml file at Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/graphics/pictures/faces, I have done everything following the instructions, ticked and unticked the correct boxes in «Display and Sound», made sure that the face load option was enabled, but none of that worked.
By the way, I also tried different folder combinations, like placing the faces and the config files in «graphic/pictures», «graphic/faces», «graphic/pictures/faces/Megapack» and «graphic/pictures/Megapack».
I simply can’t figure out what to do!
Danilo
9 июля, 2010 at 00:12
Just figured it out.
I went to «Preferences > General > User Data Folder» and realised that the Folder Location was wrong. So, I redefined it to the correct folder in «Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010…»
Johnny Karp
11 июля, 2010 at 18:40
I’m happy that you figured it out Danilo, enjoy the game!

27 июля, 2010 at 12:09
do you know where i can get the separate «config.xml» file? i accidentally deleted it and I don’t wanna download the whole 3gig zip file. it takes too long! might you know which split file the .xml file is located?
Johnny Karp
27 июля, 2010 at 12:21
@Koop
I’m not at home right now, I would have sent you the .xml file. I have no idea exactly in which split file it’s located either, sorry. Hopefully somebody will send you the .xml file, otherwise you will have to wait until Sunday when I’ll get back at home. You could try the last split file though, (number 27) the smallest one, there is a chance it might be in there.
Koop
27 июля, 2010 at 13:41
Johnny, the zip files have o be ALL downloaded I think in order to unzip them? I’m not sure but I’ll try to DL the last one. anyway, «waldo_perfecto@yahoo.com» is my email add. if any of you have the time, please send me the config.xml file of the megapack. thanks guys!
Johnny Karp
27 июля, 2010 at 13:47
I think you can extract just one of them, I never tried but it could work.
Koop
28 июля, 2010 at 00:26
well, I DL’d the split file 27 but there are 2 file name extensions, .zip.027? my zipeg doesn’t recognize it. so I guess I’ll just have to wait for the torrent DL to finish again or wait til Sunday… whichever comes first
Koop
28 июля, 2010 at 03:58
fixed! i DL’d crossover for mac & fmxml! but the problem is, not all players from chelsea fc have faces… is it just me or is it really incomplete???

My laptop crashed and I had to re-install FM 2010. I’ve downloaded the facepacks and logos packs as split files. Now I’m trying to extract them (the 27 files for the facepack and 19 files for the logos) using peazip but they dont seem to be extacting to the graphics folders. It just send a zip folder to the graphics folder.
What am I doing wrong?
Johnny Karp
3 августа, 2010 at 08:44
You just have to extract that zip file too, that’s all. Until now you only put the 27 pieces together with PeaZip which resulted in the big zip file.
ZeShaldinho
3 августа, 2010 at 12:07
Thanks Johnny- I’ve tried that for both files and it starts to unzip but then says ‘2: Fatal error ocurred’. I’m usually pretty savvy with computers but this is driving me crazy,
Johnny Karp
3 августа, 2010 at 12:10
I really can’t understand what’s going wrong there, sorry. You could try to use another program to unzip those files, I don’t know.
ZeShaldinho
3 августа, 2010 at 16:48
Cheers Johnny,I’ve managed to get them both to work!! I used winzip in the end.
I still don’t have the main club logo on the club screen, but I suppose I can do without.
Do you think this is an issue with the config file, like with the kits?
If anyone can think of anything to do about it, let me know, otherwise thanks for all the help.
Cheers,
ZeShaldinho

7 августа, 2010 at 14:11
I downloaded the 27 bits and It says that the files are in an unknown format so i cant even see the pictures and when i extract them using winrar or winzip the files are still in an unknown format so i cannot even view the pictures!!
Matt
13 августа, 2010 at 17:09
Hey man—
I’ve installed fm 2010 through Steam, and I’m having a nightmare of a time getting the megapack to work. First of all, there are two «Sports Interactive» folders in my documents. I am not sure, but I used the one with my save game data in it. Second, there is no «graphics» folder in there — there is a «skins» folder with a «config.xml» file in it. I started by creating a «graphics>faces» folder and putting the images in there. It didn’t work. Then I put them in the «skins» folder, thinking they needed to be with the «config» file. That didn’t work either. Then I tried putting them in the other «Sports Interactive» folder, and that didn’t work either.
I am pretty sure that I’m doing everything right — «reload skins on confirm» and all that.
Any ideas about what’s going wrong?
Carson
24 августа, 2010 at 17:57
*Sigh*
That’s because you aren’t supposed to make a «graphics>faces» folder. You’re supposed to make a «graphics>pictures» folder.
Hope this helped.

Johnny Karp
3 сентября, 2010 at 10:53
If you have all the 27 pieces right click on the MEGAPACK 2.0.zip.001 file and then select «extract». That’s if I managed to understand what you’re saying.
Tomm
7 сентября, 2010 at 13:08
Hi,
I am prob being really stupid but… I downloaded the Megapack 2.0 through Torrent which dowloaded ok. How do I then extract it? I have set up the Football Manager 2010\graphic\pictures and then copied the «compressed (zipped) folder» into the pictures file but then nothing happens I have clicked on extract all.. and it doesnt work???
Please can u advise me I dont have a clue what iam doing!
Cheers
Johnny Karp
7 сентября, 2010 at 15:08
Tomm, it depends on what archive utility program you are using but generally if you copied the zipped file to the pictures folder all you have to do is right click on that file and then click on «extract here».
Tomm
7 сентября, 2010 at 15:21
Hi Johnny,
Thanks 4 the response, When I right click on the zipped file & click on Extract Here, a box come up saying select a destination and extract files.
In the drop doen box it says C:\Users\Tom\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\pictures\MEGAPACK 2.0.
When I then click on extract an error message come up saying «there is allready a file with the same name as the folder name you specified. Specify a different name»
Any ideas what i could be doing wrong? Thanks again
Johnny Karp
7 сентября, 2010 at 15:29
I can’t be 100 percent sure but it seems that you have already extracted the file. What do you have in the pictures folder at the moment? If you have the MEGAPACK 2.0 zip file and a MEGAPACK 2.0 folder with loads of pictures in it then you’re all set.
Tomm
7 сентября, 2010 at 16:16
I got both the MEGAPACK 2.0 zip file & the MEGAPACK 2.0 folder with loads of files containing the pictures but when I change the settings on the game itself by un-ticking “Skin Cache” and sicking “Always Reload Skin on Confirm”. I am still not getting the faces coming up??? not sure whats going wrong
Johnny Karp
7 сентября, 2010 at 16:56
Do you have a custom user data folder set in the game preferences?
Tomm
7 сентября, 2010 at 17:15
not sure. Thanks for the help mate, can work it out — seems like it should work — gonna give up!
Tomm
7 сентября, 2010 at 20:19
Hi Johnny, Gone back to it, want the pictures!!! Under data folder in preferences it says Folder locations box — C:\Users\Tom\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010, Then underneath a box is unticked next to «Use user data for temporary files» — any ideas?
ta
Johnny Karp
7 сентября, 2010 at 20:27
The setting is OK, it’s the default one. If the pictures were extracted correctly then the thing should work.

Johnny Karp
23 сентября, 2010 at 18:33
You can create the folder yourself if it does not exist.
Sander
26 сентября, 2010 at 19:36
From the installation instructions:
«In your FM 2010 game preferences un-tick “Skin Cache” and tick “Always Reload Skin on Confirm”. Then click “confirm” and the pictures should work.»
Note that you should switch this back after the skins are visible. That will save you a huge amount of unnecessary startup time.
Johnny Karp

10 октября, 2010 at 11:17
Hi Johnny
The best part… There will never be a final version, yes we are going out from BETA to an real release but we will keep updating the program. When football is up2date we will start work on NHL, NFL etc. etc. When updates is coming out all clientes there is using this program will automatic update.

Hi johnny i downloaded your face packs and metalic logos which worked fine up untill the point where i lost the respond buttons this problem has persisted although i have uninstalled everything and reinstalled them again without the face packs and the problem has continued to the football manager 2011 demo any help would be appreceiated
thank yo
Johnny Karp
3 ноября, 2010 at 17:21
I don’t think it’s related to the face packs or logos, it might be a skin related problem. However, it’s curious that you’re having the same problem in the FM 11 demo, I really can’t understand why that happens.
Peter
