Facegen Problem

Apologies if this is the wrong place, and if it's been asked before, I had a quick search and couldn't find any help.

Basically the problem is that in the profiles of the regenerated players in my game their pictures only have their hair and no face, just wondering how to sort this? I have no recollection of changing any settings to create this problem.

Hair and no face?!? I demand a screenie!!

Hopefully this works, never tried uploading before.

Sounds like some skin files have been corrupt. Reinstalling the game should sort it out.

Funny though

You can see where his face is meant to be. Quality.

harder to play the offside trap when the LB is invisible... try searching in the bugs forum mate.

Tried re-installing before, and there was a corrupt warning but everything seemed fine until I noticed this. Cheers anyways, I'll just leave their faces upto my imagination, I'll be distraught to find out if one of my youngsters aren't black, his hair suggests very much so.

First try deleting the cache files (instructions Here in the Sticked thread)

If that doesn't work patch your game if you haven't already, you can also try defragmenting the hard drive FM is installed on. (Instructions in the thread I've linked to)

If none of that works then you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

if it ruins your enjoyment at all and you cant fix the file then you can just turn facegen pics off under preferences

nice hair

Thanks for the suggestions michaeltmurrayuk, I can't seem to find the cache files that it says to delete.

It says:

Wndows Vista:

1. Click “Start”

2. Click your username on the start Menu

3. Click on “AppData” and then “Roaming”

4. Go into the “Sports Interactive” Folder

5. Delete the “Football Manager XX” Folder.

There's no AppData icon, and when searching for the Football Manager XX folder, nothing comes up.

Thanks anyways.

Have you enabled 'View hidden files and folders'. I am on XP and assume there is a similar option in Vista that you need to tick before you can see the AppData folder and I don't think it meant that the folder is called Football Manager XX. Replace the XX with 2008 if you have FM2008.

Personally i wish this would happen to my game cause i find some of the facegens quite unrealistic and just seeing the hair would be quite cool

Hopefully they'll implement a 'send for perm' alongside the 'send for rehabilitation' option....

That's quality!

There is an option on Vista, have had to do this for something else playing up before. If that does not help, try turning the features on the preferences panel off and then restarting the game and turning them on again; such as the cache's in there.

As mentioned though, bugs forum may be able to provide better information. There are some v. clever people in there...

Hopefully this works, never tried uploading before.

Wow. Never seen that before. One of the skin/facegen files must be corrupt.

Blimey, never seen anything like that before. At least if you're losing you can do a Fergie and say he was blending into the crowd, but actually have a valid point lol.

this would lead to some excelant comentary

"its in!!! hes haired it into the net!"

just get him to remove his wig and then you could the world's best footballer ever: how hard is it going to be for other players to see the invisible man?
