Daryy Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 i've downloaded all the kits and logos but it still doesn't show up even though it has followed the steps as usual. In addition, I have cleared the cache but it still does not appear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillYourIdols Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Have you ticked"Reload skin when confirming changes in Preferences" and unticked " Use caching to decrease page loading time" and clicked " Reload skin" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Hassan Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Have you unticked the skin cache box in preferences? I'm happy to walk you through it if you want to DM me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasdgfas Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'm having this issue as well. I have followed all the usual steps of ticking and unticking appropriate boxes and putting the folder and images in the right place. I found a workaround of going to AppData/Local/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2023 and deleting the "Preferences" folder. This seems to fully clear the cache and I get my graphics back. However, I then have to change all my options in Preferences to what I want. And I have to do this every single time I open FM. I had this issue in 22 as well and it was never fixed. It's very frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up my preferences identically every time in-game. It's definitely something in preferences that isn't being saved, but I've reloaded the skin manually a bunch of times. It just, for some reason, doesn't seem to see my graphics folder. I do have it set up with a symbolic link for my graphics folder rather than sticking the images in a new folder every season, but I've had that for the past half a dozen years or more and only 22/23 have required me to delete the Preferences folder.

Until I close and reopen FM. Then they refuse to, even after following all the steps, and unticking caching then reloading the skin in the Preferences menu again. I have to delete the Preferences folder in AppData while FM is closed, and then if I follow all the steps and untick caching and reload the skin the graphics will appear. But this happens every time. I'm happy to get/give as much info as needed, but it's very strange to me that it works and then stops working if I close the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 @hasdgfas If you are turning the skin cache back on try leaving it off. Can also try renaming the facepack and logos folders to something more simple as caps, spaces and long folder names can sometimes cause issues. Another option is instead of creating links to your graphics on the H drive, change your user data location to somewhere on the H drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasdgfas Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Looks like it might be a User Data Location thing, because I tweaked a few things around that and it seems to be keeping graphics after closing and reopening now. I would also recommend that for @Daryy, the OP here. Double-check your User Data Location info and make sure you didn't change that, because it could have de-synced something somewhere. Cheers @michaeltmurrayuk, guess I was changing too many variables at once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
