Instructions:
  1. Download the file from the website resources.
  2. Find the 2300 folder.
    Windows:
    \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2023\data\database\db\2300\
    Mac:
    /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2023/database/data/db/2300/
  3. Open the lnc folder and then enter the all sub-folder.
  4. Delete all files you can find in there, particularly the following 3 files:
    • fake.lnc
    • lic_dan_swe_fra.lnc
    • nleague.lnc
  5. Move Real Names Licence Fix by The Wizard [FM23] inside this all folder.
  6. Go 2 folders back to find the edt folder.
    Open it and then enter the permanent sub-folder.
  7. Delete the file "fake.edt".
    This will fix Niko Kovač from getting renamed to Max Freund, Oliver Kahn from getting renamed to Jens Freund.
  8. Again go 2 folders back, this time to find the dbc folder then enter the permanent sub-folder.( Delete the following 4 files: )
    • brazil_kits.dbc
    • forbidden names.dbc
    • Licensing2.dbc
    • Licensing2_chn.dbc
    • This will prevent Brazilian clubs from reverting to 3-letter names and will allow certain kits to be visible again
  9. Open the game and enjoy Football Manager 2023 with real names.
This file works best with the transfers & data by The Wizard:

Hiya, thanks for the response.
I had a look in the [V1.0.0] Real Names Fix.lnc file downloaded off FM-Base, and Union Namur appears to be tied to ID "00156". Sturm Graz is ID "156". Union Namur in game appear to be ID "206". I have changed the 00156 to 206 which seems to have corrected the issue on my side.

Have not seen any other issues so thank you for your work on this.
