Step-By-Step Guide to Installing the FM24 Real Name Fix

First, you must exit your FM 2024 before proceeding any further with this installation guide.

1. Delete everything in the 'all' folder.

To locate the 'all' folder on your operating system, go to the following path;

Windows users go to:
Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ football manager 2024 \ data \ database \ db \ 24xx \ lnc \ all

Mac users go to:
[username] > library > Application support > Steam > steamapps >common > football manager 2024 > data > database > db > 24xx > lnc > all

24xx is the database number. This can be 2400, 2401, 2410, 2420, 2430, etc. You need to repeat this step every time a new database gets released.

2. Enabling real Brazilian team names

Again, you'll have to delete files to unlock these.

Mac users go to:
[username] > library > Application support > Steam > steamapps >common > football manager 2024 > data > database > db > 24xx > dbc > permanent

24xx is the database number. This can be 2400, 2401, 2410, 2420, 2430, etc. You need to repeat this step every time a new database gets released.

Once you're in this folder, delete the following files;

• brazil_kits.dbc
• forbidden names.dbc
• in the 'language' folder;
• Licensing2.dbc
• Licensing2_chn.dbc
