They can't just "fix" it. Fake team and staff names are due to licensing issues.
"Fixing" them would mean lawsuits for SI.

[al-ozaria]

This is understandable under normal conditions where the game is released every year. However, we are not on a normal course for FM at the moment. The only playable version throughout 2025 will be FM 2024. At least they can look for a solution to this issue.

[Prej]

I'm quite sure they have more important things to take care of right now than solving issues that everyone knows can be solved by community fixes.

[al-ozaria]

Then you are wrong. Because this is an unsolved problem. And if you have looked at the workshop, it is a problem that most people are researching.

[A TIN OF JAR]

They cant just add players, people, club names and badges to the game that are protected by copyright without licencing.

There are plenty of websites on the internet with downloadable mods that fix player names, club badges and club names plus many more things.

You can find numerous fixes for that on the Internet in 10 seconds.

But I like the names, they sound nice. I miss Zebre.

I've never used the workshop, just go online and you can literally download, extract and copy over the 3 files that fixes this in the amount of time it took you to write your complaint. Changing the names is a must for me

[DeathStroke]

its a very simple fix , one small download for the fake names fix and you delete a couple fake name files that were added in by the patch when the licensing lapsed, and its done.

[Vali]

Yes you can just change anything, if you bought the game and play it from your harddrive.

You can also add your favorite village team and his league with original Logos and Player pictures. If you have enogh spare time.

But there are allready big packs to download. My Folder is over 20gb big.

Edit: For some licence stuff you need a fix, also downloadable.

The fact that there is not a single working patch in the huge Steam workshop is proof of what I am saying. What is your proof?

Nonsense messages, not one person wrote anything towards a solution. And one of the weak-minded people sent a clown, he will make fun of it. haha (!)

Apart from that, the second file that the masses apply to outside of Steam is below.

Don't bother, these methods won't work either. (There are dozens of messages talking about the error in Inter and Milan and saying that it hasn't been fixed. Of course, for those who can read and write !)

fmscout > real-names-license-fix

If this is the method you mentioned, it won't work.

geezus its really not that difficult . and why are you wasting time looking in the steam workshop. you need to google for the FM24 name fix patch , the top couple sites will have it available like FMScout or Sortioutsi .

the name fix WILL fix the issue for 99% of incorrect names , but if you are specifically looking for Inter and Ac Milan then no the name fix patch predates the license lapse so it doesnt cover them. However all that happened when the license for them ran out is there was a tiny little patch that came out that added 3 new files into the game alongside all the other fake name files. All you need to do is delete them. example : Inter unlic 24.lnc acmilan unlic 24. removing those files alongside having the name fix patch will fix all name issues.


ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FootballManager2024\data\database\db\2430\inc\all

You need to get a name fix patch which will remove all of these properly , then its just a matter of getting rid of the 3 newest ones manually , this works perfectly fine even for existing saves :
euro and vanarama names.Inc fake.Inc greek name change.lnc greek team names.lnc inter unlic 24.Inc japanese names.Inc acc Inter unlic 24.lnc acmilan unlic 24.Jnc carpi.lnc chinese comps.Inc chinese team names.Inc korean name change.Inc lic dan swe_fra.lnc licensing club name_fm24.Inc stage names.Inc

First of all, thank you for taking the time to reply. I hope you read the entire message you quoted.

As I mentioned, there is nothing in FMScout that I haven't tried. And it hasn't worked for many people, including the latest update of FMScout. It may have worked for you, but that doesn't mean it works for everyone.

This is what people don't understand. Just because an unofficial method works for you doesn't change the fact that many people have problems. They just say they did something wrong. No, nothing was done wrong. Whatever was written was applied. It doesn't work.

the name fix patches have been a thing for years and years , always with the exact same method . if its not working either you have missed a step , misread an instruction or missed some files that you should have deleted. it cant just NOT work , its not complicated enough for that. its literally just a change of a couple basic files and thats it. this isnt some loophole solution , you are adding and removing files. so either you have put the name fix ones into the right place or you havent , either you have removed the correct fake name files or you havent. you cannot have done all the correct things and have it not work.

i would suggest going to FMscout and double checking ALL the instructions to be sure as there are a lot. " https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-real-names-license-fix.html "

depending on what version of the game you had when making your current save you may need to repeat the steps multiple times in more than one folder of files otherwise it wont take effect in the existing save .

As it says there, I only applied it on 2430. I also started the relevant game recording on version 2430. I did not touch the 2400, 2340, 2330, 2300 folders at all. Because only 2430 is written there too.
