I've subscribed to this skin, re-subscribed to it, checked it's in my folders (and it is), and it still won't show up in the list in the Preferences tab for FM23... Is this related to FM24 now being out and thus this being broken or something?

@ZebrasLegend I don't buy the new version every year so that's a shame. Thanks for your efforts all the same though. :)

@Cal Alæra it would seem there are a couple of issues on steams side with FM workshop items. I have experienced similar issues recently with logo packs, name changes and skins as well.

I will most likely upload an updated version of the skin for the new game, though. If the original creator doesn't do it himself this year.

Just for info, I think the download of this skin isn't working. I extracted the downloaded file with the resource extractor, and the only files it contains are "instant result.jpg" and "_data\details.aom".

This is still the case after unsubscribing from the skin, manually deleting the files from workshop\content and docs\si\fm23\skins, and resubscribing.

Perhaps a reupload would fix the problem? In any case, thanks for your efforts. :)

Thank you, but the problem is not solved, even though I have checked the integrity of the files and uninstalled the game!
I contacted the official support

@irongiovy if the 2948774061 folder is not present, that means this addon isn't downloaded currently.

If you backup all of the things you REALLY don't want to lose, or alternatively just upload them to the cloud, you can uninstall/reinstall the game without any worries.

Before doing that though, I recommend right-clicking the game in your steam library, going into properties and verifying the game files first. That might raise a red flag that can be solved without deleting and downloading the whole game again.

The folder 2948774061 is not present, and the problem still persists!
What can I do now? What would happen if I uninstall FM23? Is there a risk that I lose the currently present editors and db?

@irongiovy as I said previously, if you have deleted the files from the mod and the error persists, then it's most likely not an issue with the mod.

As well as unsubscribing, make sure you go into your Sports interactive folder (documents > sports interactive > football manager 2023 > skins), and delete it completely from there as well as your workshop folder, wherever that may be. In your workshop you'll be looking for the "1904540" folder and you want to delete the one called "2948774061" if you haven't already.

If the error persists after completely deleting all of the files for the instant result button skin, then unfortunately it is something else causing the problem with your game.

Otherwise, I will look into the issue ASAP and true to figure out what the issue is and how to go about fixing it. Sorry about your problem, hopefully we can get it resolved soon.

Thanks for the quick answer!
I tried several times to unsubscribe and delete your file, but the error still persists!
Also, I haven't made any changes or done anything other than downloading your file, so I don't think the problem could be anything else!!!
I can't play FM 23 anymore :(

@irongiovy did the game finish updating and downloading addons before you launched the game and tried to apply the skin?

It has been working fine for me, but seems to be a common issue that games crash when trying to use mods that haven't been downloaded properly.

First and foremost, I would say double check that everything is downloaded and patched properly. If it is and is still crashing, then unsubscribe from the mod, completely delete the files from your computer and load your game again to see if it is indeed this mod causing the issue.

The mod may well work just fine after removing and downloading again. If your game still crashes after removing the mod, then this mod is not causing any issues.

Please let me know what happens from there and I will look into it :)

After subscribing to this item, I reloaded the skin, and the game crashed!
Now I'm trying to restart the game, but it always stops on loading, after several error windows!
What do I do now??? :S

@ellis_d69 @-Karnage- if the skin isn't appearing under the skins drop down menu in-game, make sure it is in your skins download folder.

If you go to documents > sports interactive > football manager 2023 > skins and it isn't in that folder, then that is your issue.

It may also be a steam workshop issue. Open your local files for FM23 (Go to the game, right click and select properties > browse local game files, or you can just go to your download location of FM23) and find the workshop downloads folder.

There will be a folder for each of your workshop downloads. Each one is just a number and that is the ID of the mod. The ID for this mod is "2948774061", and the ID for the game itself is "1904540". Alternatively you can see the ID for all games and mods in the URL of the steam page they are on.

Make sure that the mod is present in both your workshop downloads AND sports interactive > skins folder.

I also subscribed, it dosnt appear in the skins? Are you sure its working?

Hi
I've subscribed to this and it doesn't appear in the list with my other skins? Can you advise me please?

@johngrace85 Once you have subscribed to the item on the workshop and it has downloaded, open the FM menu in-game, go to preferences > skin and then click where it says the FM default skin.The instant result button skin should appear in that list. You can select the skin from there, and once it has finished loading you will have the option to instant result matches on the team selection screen.

how do you make instant result work
