How to fix fake club and competition names in FM17

Quit the game.

Find the "1730" folder.

Windows :

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2017\data\db\1730\ Mac :

/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2017/data/db/1730/





Open the "lnc" folder and then enter the "all" sub-folder. It will look like this:



Delete the highlighted 3 files:

fake.lnc

lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc

nleague.lnc

Place "Daniel FM17 Fix.lnc" and "Daniel FM17 Club Names.lnc" inside this folder, so it will look like this:



Go 2 folders back to find the "edt" folder. Open it and then enter the "permanent" sub-folder. It will look like this:



Delete the highlighted 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. It will look like this:



Delete the 3 highlighted files:

brazil_kits.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.

Important: I have updated screenshots and instructions for the last database update (1730), so they apply only if you start a new save with the 17.3.0 Data Update. If your saved game is older, you need to apply the same steps to the 1710 folder as well.

Open Football Manager 2017 and enjoy real names.

Please note that when you try to start a new save, you will still see wrong names for 3 Spanish clubs during the career setup, but once you select club and actually start playing, the names will be correct.

Where is Application Support folder on Mac OS X

Welcome to Daniel'sYou don't have to start a new saved-game for this to work, except for Brazilian clubs. Will explain that later.Support for ALL languages.An fmscout.com EXCLUSIVEThis is an absolutefor your game. Due to licensing issues, there are certain clubs and competitions having a fake name. With this add-on you can fix that and enjoy: 1 March 2017 - Updated instructions for 17.3If you started a save before applying this fix, Brazilian clubs will have a 3-letter name (e.g. AMG instead of América Mineiro). Even though Brazilian 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.Daniel (original author of this creative) has been unreachable since FM15, so I have taken over the difficult task of keeping this project up to date and enable you to use this brilliant license fix with FM 2017.If you find some error in translation/names or need a fix for other club/league/competition name, please send a comment below and I'll try my best to update these files.Mac users who have trouble locating their Application Support folder, please follow these steps:Open the "Go to Folder" menuEnter the path of the Application Support folderCopy the following path and paste it into the "Go to Folder" input field.~/Library/Application SupportFinally click "Go" to go to the folder.
