I tested to change club name in save and pre-game file. Neither works. When you load save, club name will be rest to default ones. So bad!

Just tested. Works initially, but reloading the save wipes them back to default. Shame. 

@Alari can you put a good word in?

@Alari Any hints?

[AlKha96]

Think that will be the same problem as in FMM 2016, default names after loading.

What is the license problem?

Just certain names that SI haven't got the license to use, so they use generic names instead.

Yep

[Surlik_14]

Something to correct unlicensed names?

[TheHirinator]

Is this license fix going to take a while?

We are still investigating the issue but it may require SI to be generous and fix. We will submit it to them but if they want to fix it is up to them.

I suspect its something to do with the fallback to the language files

You are right.

I tested to remove *.lng file in database.

The club name changes work in reload saves.

I thought as much

In another hand, maybe we can try to use.lng file to fix names of club and comps?

[Vaile23]

Only problem now is special characters aren't showing...

I wonder what other damage deleted those files does?

I'm also starting to think that they won't support it as they want to push us down the route of buying the in game editor... #tinfoilhat

Great to see some progress!

Well with the In-game editor I can't change Dortmund to Borussia Dortmund, it's too long lmao. It stops at Borussia Dortm.

So deleting eng.lng, esp.lng, fra.lng and ita.lng from whichever database I load seems to do the trick. Those files don't look to be easily editable though (tried using Notepad++

Noticed that the Spanish leagues are unlicensed now too, so had to add a few into changes.txt to get them showing properly.

Using this until an official Vibe version comes out...
