Can anyone confirm why certain French teams won't load any backgrounds for either stadiums or the club themselves. Also I can't get backgrounds to work for the Parken Stadium in Denmark, and Benfica's Stadium of Light in Portugal, yet I've installed over 1000 backgrounds and these all work fine.

I've just come across the same problem. You haven't got the same pack have you? All ligue 1,2 and lower division teams in one folder? Probably off Sortitout?

I've just downloaded a different france pack (kopites from fmglive) and compared the configs. The first pack seems to have all different numbers, using team IDs for stadium IDs etc.

I notice in the config some ligue 1 teams are in ligue 2. Im assuming the first pack is actually for fm06 but the maker hasnt realised some IDs changed.

Heres the config lines from kopites pack:

Im probably going to use Kopites config and take the pick of both packs pictures. Obviously Kopite has only done ligue 1 so all the others from the "superpack" that didnt work are useless. Unless someone fancies getting IDs for non-descript french clubs.

I've created my own pics to work and entered in the unique numbers as provided by the editor. It's probably a restriction SI have put in due to the fact that they don't have the licence for French clubs. It's just rather strange when I can get teams in Japan and Germany to load backgrounds, yet SI don't hold the licence for them either.

Is there a way this can be got round, a bit of code in the config perhaps?

I tried Kopites france pack after posting here yesterday and they all worked OK.

Having said that, Ive only played about 15 games in the league so far. Have you noticed which french teams won't work? I ask as I'll keep an eye out when I play them.

All of them, I'll have a look at this pack that you mentioned and see what he did differently to me.
