FM 10 Graphics Help

    Anybody running FM 10 on Windows 7? I've tried everything I've seen online to get the graphics showing up but, all I have at the moment is (I think) the team logos and player kits. Kits aren't showing up and competition names haven't changed (not sure if I have the pack for that one).

    Anyway, just wondering if anyone does have it working, what folder do you have it in and what way is that folder laid out? Thanks.

    Was just about to post this myself, can't get it working myself. I have them in a folder called "graphics" with two subfolders called "kits" and "logos" and neither work.:mad:

    I think some of them work for me, just not all of them. Very annoying altogether as it was fairly straightforward in the last one!

    I have the proper competition names up. Did you download anything for that specifically? There's a file you can get, don't have a link off hand, and you put it in the FM2010/data/updates/1020*/INC folder.

    *depending on what patch you're using, 1000 for orginal


    As for the logos/jerseys/competitions you need to go to documents-sports interactive-fm2010 and create a folder called 'Graphics'. Lob anything you have in there and it should work, depending on what you got and where from. Maybe list what you have/whats working,not working?

    I have all my graphics (4.9 GB) in here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics

    They don't seem to be loading properly, I actually haven't downloaded something for the competition names, I'll have a look for that now.

    ^ It's not meant to be in Program files (86) - Sports I - FM2010



    Move it to My Documents - sports interactive - FM2010


    If you go in and look you'll see there's different content in the 2 areas. It has to be in the My Documents part. Hope this helps lads.

    Ye have it all right like that, have a few subfolders but even without them they don't seem to work. Have the boxes ticked and unticked in the preferences menu and all.

    Really annoying me as it took 5 hours to download all the logos, granted I wasn't in my gaff when it was being done but still.:D

    ^ Oh you got the megapack did you. I didn't fancy downloading 3 gig or whatever it is, found smaller ones elsewhere. Sorry but I can't think of what else is wrong. Are there any leagues in particular you need or did you want everything? Maybe if we pick a league or 2 and try and get them working?

    Ok I don't specifically remember where I got mine, but sure give these a lash.

    Premiership logos
    http://www.sortitoutsi.net/fm2010/downloads/graphics/team_logos/97-1english_premier_logos_inc_comp_logo.html

    Kits
    http://www.sortitoutsi.net/fm2010/downloads/graphics/kit_packs/25-premier_league_ss09.html

    Put the logos into Documents-Sports Interactive-FM2010-Graphics-Logos

    Put the kits into Documents-Sports Interactive-FM2010-Graphics-Pictures-Kits

    Let me know how it goes.

    Big time, I hate the wrong names for competitions! Good luck with the files anyway...almost 5 GB altogether, I think!

    Right unzipped one of the 4 downloads of logos. It's address is:

    Documents-Sports Interactive-FM2010-Graphics-Logos-FM10-graphics-pictures-logos-metallic logos fm10

    Then there's 5 subfolders (Comps, Clubs, etc...)


    Is this right because they still don't work?

    Mine is: C:\Users\Jay\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics

    The sub folders shouldn't matter, mine are faces, flags, kits, logos.

    Try going into Preferences -> Dispaly & Sound and press confirm (Use skin cache is unticked and Always reload... is ticked).

    Apart from that try deleting the cache folder in: C:\Users\Jay\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010

    You may have to change settings to show hidden files and folders.

    Ah, I see now. They were split using HJ-Split or something similar, so you need to join them up using this.

    When you use it, you should have a .zip file as well as 4 .zip.001, etc files.
