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
Mac users who have trouble locating their Application Support folder, please follow these steps:- Open a Finder window
- Press CMD + Shift + G on your keyboard to open the “Go to folder” window
- Type: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2024 and press “Go” or hit enter
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 FM24.

While I don't play in Japan anyway so this doesnt bother me, I wonder what the file "license.dbc" covers? Should I delete it or not?
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data\database\db\2400\edt\permanent\fake.edt
but you have to edit it. If you add
"CHANGE_PLAYER_NAME" 35015767 "Thomas" "" "Tuchel" Now, his name is correct.
Of course Jens Freund and Hans-Dieter Flick must be deleted.
Everything was doing great before the update...Am I the only one having issues ?
(Tried with a new save and it works...but not on the actual save I was playing on with the right names. Can't understand...)
j league non player.db ---> fake name of j.league club non-player
japan.dbc ---> delete youth player of j.league club
japan_loans.db ---> delete loan contract of j.league club
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data\database\db\2400\lnc\all\
japanese names.lnc ---> fake name of japanese club
japan.dbc
japan_loans.dbc
1_japan_removed_clubs.dbc
japan_fake.dbc
If these files are not deleted, the Japanese club name will become a fake name and the staff's name will become a fake name.
Regional league competitions and clubs will also be removed.
@gggfunk: This works fine; 'full release' was just a patch and the db folder hasn't changed.
@idycor: You might need to re-apply it because the game updated a couple of days ago and probably restored the files you removed during beta.
@rawi0009: 150 Japanese players exist but have wrong names? Do you have some examples please?
@jaspergie: I think the plan is to release his initial FM24 pack on November 10th.
