Hi ,
I have a problem—well, a big problem. Let's just say there's a massive elephant in the room with my game right now.I'm having a persistent issue with custom skins. Even though I move the files to the specified folder, the game crashes immediately upon launch. While the skin background sometimes appears, the menu names show garbled/broken text, or the game simply closes before I can do anything. This happens with every skin I try.I am placing the files into: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64My questions are:Am I making a mistake with this file path for FM26?Do we still need to delete a "cache" folder before installing skins? If so, where is the current directory for it?What could be causing the UI text to break and the game to crash like this?
 
Have you tried 'verify the integrity of game files' on Steam BEFORE copying the skin across?

And are you copying the .bundle files directly into the StandaloneWindows64? Just checking you're not copying the folder over, you put the skin files right in there.

Try following my video if it helps:
