AustSaint Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have tried and tried to install graphics and facepacks into my game, I have reinstalled a few times and then tried different things to see if that will work. I installed by disc using the advanced option, then created my own custom directory for the game, C:\games\fm. The game works, I can play it but nothing I downloaded appears. I have a graphics folder in which I can see what I have downloaded, but it doesn't apply when I either start a game or reload a game. I have unchecked the skin cache and clicked always reload when starting. i am using windows vista home premium 32 bit. So does anybody have any advice on what I can do to be able to see facepacks and logos in my game?, any advice is welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscotti Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 No matter where you've installed the game, on Vista your graphics should be in the location: C:\Users\<yourusername>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustSaint Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 so this will mean the graphics won't work? so I should reinstall it to this location? so this location is wrong? C:\games\fm\graphics\players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowRow78 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 so this will mean the graphics won't work? so I should reinstall it to this location?so this location is wrong? C:\games\fm\graphics\players Yes that is indeed the wrong location. It seems a lot of people get this wrong even though it is stated all over the guides that the graphics need to go in your own "Documents" folder.

AustSaint Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 so when I download the game it needs to be documents not in the c drive?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowRow78 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 so when I download the game it needs to be documents not in the c drive?... Wah!? No - let the game do it's thing. When you install the game it auto creates a folder in your documents called Sports Interactive. Within that there is a folder called Football Manager 2010. THIS is created specifically for us to download user based content into without screwing up the game. And THIS is where you need to download the content you find. Easy?
