Sir Walter Buffalo Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I've installed a lot of extra graphics data (and I mean a lot: 5gb+) in FM12 to; C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\graphics On my old PC, I've also got a similar amount of graphics data installed at; C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics In an ideal world, I'd like to re:install FM10 on my new PC (I'm missing my old 20 year Worcester City save game!) albeit without the huge amount of additional graphics. But it's just no fun without all of the club logos, shirts and faces. As the C: drive on my new PC is a 128Gb SSD, I'm trying to keep the number of files installed to a minimum. Are the graphics files in FM10 and FM12 compatible and if so, is there a way to point the default location for FM10 to the relevant FM12 graphics directory?

singtelsux Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 you would've move/rename the folder Football Manager 2010 to 2012 vice versa and verify game cache every time you start to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 also... id's might be changed between both versions and quite a few graphics wouldn't work.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that's all there is to it - a quick visit to change folder location from "2010" to "2012". If so, we're good to disco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Walter Buffalo Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 also... id's might be changed between both versions and quite a few graphics wouldn't work.. Indeed they may have changed. That is the million dollar question. Can anyone confirm whether club and player ID's may have changed between FM2010 and 2012?

singtelsux Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 i'm using the same facepacks plus updated with new faces since fm09. only the config files changed since there are new faces for new players as the series go. perhaps your pack didn't contain faces that already in the game from fm10 as fm10 still have license to some leaqgue and major clubs. anyway, some new star faces won't appear in your fm12 because they're not there or not yet famous in fm10 nevertheless. ALSO, in fm12 you need to UNTICK "use skin cache" and TICK "Always reload skin on confirm" for it to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
