White Flag Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I managed to successfully removed the annoying Bidstack adverts in FM18 by amending the config code to read <record id="deon" size="99" /> . It worked in the Beta for FM19, but not in the full version. Any ideas ? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivanov Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Which config file did you change? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 As far as I am aware turning the Targeted Advertising option off in the preferences menu should turn them off without needing to edit any files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changes the Ad board config file, and replaced the Bidstack_Channel file hidden away in the SI AppData folder with a tinkered FM18 version. Neither of these worked. I've already got Targeted Advertising turned off, but I believe this merely leaves you with untargeted Bidstack adverts. So: still stuck. Is it just me, or are others having this problem too ? Ta.

stevemc Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'm getting ads for Nicki Minaj and allsorts of nonsense, instead of my own video ads - I've tried the above and it also didn't work. I think turning your Wifi off sorts it, but that's not an ideal work around. Does it also feel like the first aboard loops too, and is on longer than it should be? EDIT: Turning the wifi off only seems to record the first video aboard over and over again instead of reading the full lot in the desired order.

stevemc Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Has anyone figured this issue out yet? I've tried a few things, but still no joy as of yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Flag Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Think I've resolved this, but time will tell: change all entries in the "BIDSTACK_CHANNEL" file which read "true" to "false". No Bidstack for 2 matches now. Folder is located in Appdata/Local/Sports Interactive/Football MAnager 2019/Preferences/version 3/channels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any Mac users, the file is located here: Macintosh HD ▸ Users ▸ name ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ Preferences ▸ version 3 ▸ channels ▸ BIDSTACK_CHANNEL.xml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
