jep Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hello, I have recently gone back to FM 2006, and installed it back onto my computer using my original disc. After using the editor to try and update some of the signings, I decided it was too big a job and had to do a clean re-install to get back to the original FM 2006 database. I did that, but now all of the players in the database have random names e.g I can go into the editor and click on a player who I know is Steven Gerrard, but his name comes up as "Waldorf Schmitz" or something like that (I even tried unticking and ticking the use real player names when I set up a game and that didnn't help either) Can someone tell me why this has happened, and how I can get back to having real player names please? Note - this is still the original disc I bought in 2005 and is not some cracked copy before anyone asks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Are you 100% sure that real players is ticked? Otherwise just uninstall the game, and then install it again. It should revert back to the original DB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jep Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yes - 100% sure. Its actually when you go into the editor that it shows all the names to be different. When I start a new game and make sure the real names option is ticked, it still brings up different names for all the players. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times now and I just can't get the database to show proper names Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klimowicz Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 when you next uninstall, delete every fm06 folder (program files/my documents etc). i think the edited DBs are saved in a different folder to gamesaves, graphics and other folders. fm06 gave me loads of problems regarding player histories and antivirus software. i had a great career game which i could never go back to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
