A big thank to the research team as Steel Backgrounds passes 72,000 backgrounds!

 

Installation

 

Start by downloading both Steel Backgrounds Megapack parts and place in the below folder. 

You MUST download both parts as they only work as a collection.

 

C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\graphics

 

Once you’ve done this you will need to select both parts at once and extract them using your chosen application. I have tested this on both Mac using Keka and Windows using Winrar.

 

This will create a single file named Steel Backgrounds Megapack.

 

Then simply reload your skin and enjoy using in Football Manager.

 

If you like Steel Backgrounds please check out the Steel Logos Megapack to complete the collection.

Hope you like them mate. I think they work a lot better now that they are darker.

So, took me a few days to download due to bad wifi, only for one of the files to be corrupted when trying to extract! I think its the megapack one that was mate.

I’ll download it again mate and try it. I have already downloaded it before sharing and it worked fine so not sure what’s gone wrong.

 

Have you selected both files together when extracting?

I have yea. It starts extracting then stops saying file is corrupted.

Ok I’ll download it and see what I can do. If not I’ll upload the first part again.

No problem mate

Hey mate, sorry for the delay in coming back on this. I've just downloaded the full pack in the last hour and all seems fine. I've been able to extract both files together to form the megapack.

Sometimes errors can occur when downloading and this could be the case here. Sorry about this but all should work fine now.

No worries mate, thank you. Downloading now! Dont get as much time on FM with family commitments etc, but looking forward to this background pack.

I know the feeling mate! Any issues with it just let me know.

@derek what skin is in the open post?

It was an FM21 skin called FusionDB. I'm not sure if the guys made an FM22 version.

yes they make it again, thx mate!

Ok, stupid question. I have edited my skin so I can use city pics. However, when I clear skin cache and the skin reverts to the "default" background (I have a background selector), the "default" background is the relevant city pic. How would I go about using these backgrounds, yet still keep the city pics?

What background pack and skin is it that you're using mate?

The skin is one I have cobbled together. I am not, technically, using a background pack. The default is replaced by a city view unless I change it via the background selector.

I'm not too sure what the answer here is mate to be completely honest but perhaps someone like @a31632 might know better.

Yeah, I'm not sure it will be possible due to the city pics being classed as backgrounds. Still, there is always a chance.

I've got the same problem with downloading speed

They are huge packs mate which we don't produce anymore because of this issue.

We need to work with some of our skinning guys to make it possible to use one default image and the chosen logo back to create these going forward. This will not happen right now though.
