FM26 3D Stadium Megapack "Finally Fixed?!" Update 2.3 (Fixed download)
Hey everyone, so I was supposed to be away last weekend, but Dutch Railways happened, so instead this weekend I will be away. Hence the earlier than normal drop. This is quite an important one as the lighting plugin has totally been overhauled, and should be a lot more consistent in different scenarios.
Aside from that, every match ball has now gotten a point light to it, meaning visibility should be better in theory. I am also still working on a consistent Linux pack. Stay tuned.
Right off the bat, important! If you have custom files or kits, this update will restore them to default!
BACK UP THE FILES FOR YOU TO ADD AGAIN LATER IF YOU HAVE CUSTOM KITS/CONFIGS.
Performance, Bug Fixes and Stability:
Newgen lights were supposed to be fixed, but for some people they are not. I am aware of it, but cannot get it to replicate, so until I can this is a ghost bug :(
Added in environment lighting again. Any darkness is now inherent to stadiums and means no more chasing shadows (nice wordplay eh!)
Minor tweaks.
Ball Pack:
Added experimental lights for the footballs.
Keep in mind you can delete these if you think they are too dark

The link below is where you can download the files. The password is that which you received earlier in your mailbox if you have lost the passkey, shoot me a DM and I'll send it your way!

OR
You can then add in the new files!
Installation path for Steam is:
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26
Installation path for Xbox Game Pass is:
XboxGames\Football Manager 26\Content
Installation path for Epic Games is:
Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\FootballManager26
From there to install the kits, be sure to extract them first and place them in the
"Football Manager 26/BepInEx/Plugins/CrowdInjectV2" folder so your Kits folder contains the leagues/nations.
This is how your folder should look.
When you install the files, make sure you place all subfolders into those directories above. That is two folders and 4 loose files. If you do not do that it will not load.
If you are having extraction issues, try using winrar or winzip to extract the files.
The first boot after an update to FM or running for the first time will take a long time.
IT HAS NOT FROZEN, IT IS LOADING. DO NOT INTERRUPT IT!
Should you get an anti tamper message do this:
Remove the files from the directory when FM is closed.
Boot the game, play a match, close FM.
Reinstall the files whilst FM is closed.
Then you will be able to play.
