/Users/Shared/Epic Games/FootballManager2023/database/data/db/2330/ - Open the lnc folder and then enter the all sub-folder.
- Delete all files you can find in there, particularly the following 4 files:
- fake.lnc
- lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc
- nleague.lnc
- roma.lnc
- Move FM23 Fix by FMScout.lnc and FM23 Club Names by FMScout.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 Niko Kovač from getting renamed to Max Freund, Oliver Kahn from getting renamed to Jens Freund, and a couple of more people. - Again go 2 folders back, this time to find the dbc folder.
Then enter the permanent sub-folder.
Delete the following 4 files:
- brazil_kits.dbc
- forbidden names.dbc
- Licensing2.dbc
- Licensing2_chn.dbc
- Open the game and enjoy Football Manager 2023 with real names.
IMPORTANT: The fix for Brazilian clubs can only take effect with a new save because dbc files affect the saved game when it's first created.
IMPORTANT: If your saved game was started prior to the 23.3.0 patch, you need to apply this fix to the 2300 folder as well!
For reference, the folder structure of the path you need to apply the fix is as follows:
- 2330
- 2330_fm
- dbc
- permanent
- brazil_kits.dbc
- forbidden names.dbc
- Licensing2.dbc
- Licensing2_chn.dbc
- ...
- permanent
- edt

- fake.edt

- all
I want to help with proper real names for my country.
We welcome everyone to suggest and contribute changes to this name fix. Feel free to send a PM to Stam or to pr0.Brazilian clubs have three-letter names in my game. How to fix?
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.I applied the fix, but I'm still seeing some wrong club names.
During career game set up, you will still see incorrect names for some clubs, but once you select your club and start playing, the names will be correct.Where is Application Support folder on Mac OS X

Don't agree with a name? You can change it.
If your opinion for a name change isn't widely accepted, it's advised to change the name yourself.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 FM23.
Discussion: Football Manager 2023 Real Names Licence Fix
72 comments have been posted so far.
For the beta version of the game, the below are NOT possible due to the structure of the files. They will be available once the full game is available.
Brazilian clubs' text colours are changed through an editor data file.
Another editor data file creates the Ajax non-playing staff and the German national team manager missing from the database due to licensing restrictions.
The addition of real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents.
Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files.
for example: i'm managing fiorentina and when i was playing against napoli it showed as "par-fio" instead of "nap-fio", it's same for monza(bri) and lecce(sal).
i couldn't find it in the file which we added to "all" folder. i guess it'll be fixed via fm 23 editor but wanted to ask here first.
open FM23 clubs names by FMScout (open as notepad)
ctrl+f (search for Monza)
