This is an essential add-on for FM 2019. Due to licensing issues, FM19 contains fake names for a number of competitions, clubs and awards. With this add-on, you can fix that and enjoy FM 19 with real names.

FM19 Real Names Corrected

All playable clubs names from all continents

All major leagues names

All non-playable Europe Top Leagues club names

Almost all minor leagues names

All Continental, National and National Cups names

This license fix was originally created by DanielFM and maintained by Stam during 2015-2017. For its FM18 iteration, the project lead was given to CarlosFierro who decided on anglicised text and the removal of competition sponsors (e.g. Serie A TIM --> Serie A). For FM19, Stam carries on from where DanielFM left this.

How to fix fake competition and club names in FM 2019

Quit the game (if it's open).

Extract the contents of the pack you downloaded from here to a temporary location. You'll need them for step 6.

Find the 1930 folder.

Windows:

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1930\ Mac:

/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2019/database/data/db/1930/

Open the lnc folder and then enter the all sub-folder.

Delete the following 3 files:

fake.lnc

fake.lnc lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc

lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc nleague.lnc

Move Daniel-Stam FM19 Fix.lnc and Daniel-Stam FM19 Club Names.lnc inside this all folder.

Go 2 folders back to find the edt folder.

Open it and then enter the permanent sub-folder.

Delete the file "fake.edt".

This will fix Danny Blind from getting renamed to Jan Jansen.

Again go 2 folders back, this time to find the dbc folder.

Open it and then enter the permanent sub-folder.

Delete the following 3 files:

brazil_kits.dbc

brazil_kits.dbc forbidden names.dbc

forbidden names.dbc Licensing2.dbc This will prevent Brazilian clubs from reverting to 3-letter names and will allow certain kits to be visible again.

Open the game and enjoy Football Manager 2019 with real names.

IMPORTANT: If your saved game was started before the 19.3.0 patch, you need to apply this fix to the 1910 folder as well! In similar fashion, if your saved game was started before the 19.1.0 patch, you need to apply this fix to the 1901 folder too!

Brazilian clubs have three-letter names in my game. How to fix?

I applied the fix, but I'm still seeing some wrong club names.

Don't like a name? Change it!

Open the fix file in a text editor such as Notepad, search for the name you want to change, change it, and save. It's really that simple. The fix will apply the next time you start FM19.

Where is Application Support folder on Mac OS X

Open the "Go to Folder" menu Enter the path of the Application Support folder Copy the following path and paste it into the "Go to Folder" input field.

~/Library/Application Support Finally click "Go" to go to the folder.

Welcome toby FM Scout.You don't have to start a new save for this to work, except for Brazilian clubs.An fmscout.com EXCLUSIVEIf you find errors in translation / names or need a fix for other club / league / competition names, please post a comment below and I'll try my best to update these files.For reference, the folder structure of the path you need to apply the fix is as follows:Even though Brazilian club names are fixed in our files, the game will continue to show the 3-letter name instead of the full name. That is due to certain dbc files that affect them when you save your game for the first time. You need to start a new save AFTER applying this fix (in full), for Brazilian team names to be correct.During career game set up, you will still see incorrect names for three Spanish clubs, but once you select your club and start playing, the names will be correct.Mac users who have trouble locating their Application Support folder, please follow these steps:
