How to fix fake club and competition names in FM16
- Quit the game.
- IMPORTANT: Delete all files in these folder:
Windows:
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1600\lnc\all
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1601\lnc\all
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1630\lnc\all
Mac:
Macintosh HD/Users/"your computers name"/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam Apps/common/Football Manager 16/data/db/1600/lnc
Macintosh HD/Users/"your computers name"/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam Apps/common/Football Manager 16/data/db/1601/lnc
- Place "Daniel FM16 Fix.lnc" and "Daniel FM16 Club Names.lnc" to these folders.
Alternatively you could use "Daniel FM16 Club Names FC Version.lnc" instead of "Daniel FM16 Club Names.lnc" in case you prefer clubs having FC added to their name. - Run the game with real names.

To use the new version, simply replace that file inside the data\db\1601\lnc\all folder.
@Bechii: Thanks for reporting, I'll fix them for next update. Let me know if you spot any other problems.
Kits are irrelevant to this fix, it has to be an issue with the kit pack.
@TricolorCarioca: Fixed it in v1.93, please grab newest version and check if it's OK.
@Bearded_Shrimper: You need to repeat the same process (delete fake files and copy the fixes) to all update folders. So far this means /db/1600/lnc and /db/1601/lnc
Then just go to Start screen and load your save again.
@mcbn: This might be a problem with the file's encoding, but whatever encoding I try it doesn't work properly. So I just replaced the special ə character with the latin a.
@tomthebodz: Search for your Steam folder and let me know the path. I don't currently have a Mac computer to check.
One other thing - some kits won't work, is that because of the new names the clubs are giving or simply because there is a mistake in the kit pack. ex Vendsyssel and Stømsgodset is a problem.
i've deleted everything i put in the folders and pasted the new files in again
Could you please update, or is this just for the Beta version
@AK78: You need to repeat the process for 2 folders. One is 1600 and the other is 1601.
@Dymond: I will. Next update on Sunday hopefully.
@CalvinSingh01: There's no other version from few days ago?
@RichardManuel: I know, but downloadkct only wanted to fix competition names.
It's possible to create an updated file that changes wrong/unlicensed club names, but Daniel (original author of this project) is vanished for the time being and I don't currently have time to invest in this. If he's still missing after a week and I can make some time, then I'll give it a go. In the meantime, anyone could try editing the file using a simple text editor.
Is it possible to create a file that changes only those names that are wrong/unlicensed?
Other examples are "FCP" instead of "Porto". There is no need to change the other names that are correct.
@downloadkct: Only use "Daniel FM16 Fix.lnc" and not the other file with Club Names.
How to use only competition fix ?
BTW great fix D:
Fytbolnyi Klub Zenit Sankt-Petersburg shoul be either Sankt-Peterburg (no "S", juas a transliteration) or Saint-Petersburg (name of the city in English) but thats too long anyway.
