Hi @Zachary Whyte! I've abandoned the save and moved on to a different league entirely, however I uploaded a save when I first reported it here: https://community.sigames.com/bugtracker/football-manager-2024-early-access-bugs-tracker/club-vision-supporter-confidence-manager-staff-appointments/b-team-staff-functionality-broken-r18639/?tab=comments#comment-119150 The save is called 'Spain Sniff'.

Ah, my mistake - English language online research was impossible and Czech translated to English via Google is never perfect. Thanks!

Can confirm, for myself at least, that the fix for this issue has worked.

The latter. I'll give your suggestion a go, cheers. Edit: Success! Cheers @rcurtis.

Thanks for the fix. It's worked on my newgens, but I can't seem to get a config to work on my manager. Have you managed to make it work on your own manager where you had previously had a picture installed via the preferences? I have a suspicion that, because my own manager picture was set through preferences, there's a hidden config built into the game that I can't overwrite via my graphics folder.

I think I know the reasoning here. This game seems to not only ignore some players depending on database size, but outright pretends that clubs and players don't exist depending on your database options. This leaves the UIDs open - as well as the UIDs of the many, many retired and defunct players that have built up with the database over time. The benefit of this is, I believe, the improved processing speed this year. I've had some newgens appear with faces of real players because of the facepack I use, as the ID has been recycled. It's a bit strange, and I'd hazard a guess that this is the very reason the r- UIDS have been implemented as going forward this is now impossible. So, it's a short term nuisance, but once NewGAN Manager is updated it will be resolved pretty much immediately, so it's of long term benefit to us. We'll have to wait and see what people pull off but I think this will also make it possible to do staff newgen packs, as we haven't previously had the option of filtering them in the manner needed. Now, we can filter by UID including 'r-'.

Same issue, the option in preferences has disappeared - and the picture I was already using has been stripped out. On a related note, it's also broken my newgen faces (using NewGAN Manager). I assume that @rcurtis's observation is the cause, and I know that won't be solved by SI as it's an external tool so I guess we'll just have to wait for an update on that.

I've updated and also verified the integrity of my installs of both the game and editor to make sure my fix wasn't interfering. I can confirm that the kits are now showing correctly for me.

Thanks Zachary, appreciate the response.

Are you playing with a club that has a B team/II team that shows as an affiliated club? If you are, I'd say you're adding to the context of the thread. If not, I'd say you've found a new issue that deserves its own thread.

Thanks for the tips above on getting the Editor working until this is fixed. In the meantime, does anyone know what this restricted folder is all about? There's reference to it in the config files too. It looks to have caused havoc with Welsh league kits:

Yes, apologies - I'd have deleted the thread if I could. It looks like FM has a new optimisation feature that means certain clubs do not appear in the game at all if their nation is not set to playable, which I was not aware of during the beta phase.

An update on this - with the full release of the game, I've been snooping around at a few things using the Resource Archiver. I've noticed that a number of teams mentioned above with missing kits referenced actually have the kits in the game - for example at a glance Baglan Dragons. I'm not sure if the problem therefore is with the files themselves, or the data attempting to link up with them. Thought I'd bring it up in case that helps things though!

Hi @Madhav - I think it's the same forum as far as I can tell, they've just renamed it post-release. If I'm wrong can you link me to the correct forum? I can't see another one.
