What EA official update are you talking about, I just right click on FIFA under "my games" and it updates but doesnt say "official update" or anything. Rar up our loc folder after you install and upload it to mediafire then paste on this thread so I can look at it.

I dont know, I would just move and play something else. There is no way for me to fix a problem i cant duplicate, sorry. I have origin and its the most updated version and what you are missing is the language files which get extracted in the install. I posted a detailed description a couple pages back of how to go to your loc folder and see if you have the updated loc files in your folder and I pasted a link of my loc (language) files so you can compare and nobody has responded besides asking "how can we fix this". The patch is as is, you can either play it or you cant. You guys are missing something in your game and there is no way for me to know what that is without looking at your entire install.

Yeah because Reg Cat said you didnt have the updated loc files in your loc folder. I posted that you needed those 3 pages back and even gave you a link with the files to compare. Its hard to help people when they dont know how to give you straight answers.

When I do a clean install from Origin, it first installs the main game and then at the end it downloads the update (which I believe is the Euro add on). I did compare the loc folders from my install and the one you posted. Mine had a "locale" file, while yours doesn't. Let me see if I can upload the folder

ok, now we are getting somewhere, open our FIFA with Creation Master. It will automatically extract all the language files from the locale.big. Then install the patch and regen and you should be good. See FIFA is reading the language files from the locale.big unless you extract them and regen. I thought most people knew this. Give me an amen that this works so I can post on the 1st page.
SUCCESS!!
Here's what I did, slightly different steps from what you told me but basically the same thing.
1. Installed the game from Origin with the update from Origin as well.
2. Installed the your patch.
3. Copied the FIFA exe from the "Backup of patched exe need for patch" folder that is in your patch RAR. Then put that in the /origin games/fifa 12 directory and replaced the default one.
4. Opened the FIFA 12 exe in creation master. Hit save. and then Regen.
5. Reinstalled your patch and regen again.
6. Good to go!
Thanks for leading me in the right direction and for the great patch. Now time to play...

Cool, you could have skipped step 3 because its in the install. For future reference whenever you want to install ANY PATCH and you start with a fresh FIFA you need to extract certain files so you can regenerate them and use the new modded files from the patch from the folders instead of FIFA using teh ones inside the .big and .bh files. The nice thing is Creation Master 12 extracts ALL of those files automatically when you open your FIFA with it and you dont neeed to save in Creation Master after opening yoru FIFA just close3 it out after opening. So always do the following.
1. Install your fresh FIFA.
2. Open FIFA with Creation Master 12 - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT as it extracts the dlc files, db, and all your language files.
3. Dont even save with CM it is a bit buggy this year so once you open FIFA with it just close it without saving.
4. Regenerate.
5. Install whatever patch you want and follow that patches install instructions.
What I just wrote is perfect for any newbie trying to install a patch.

Hello I tried bro, its to unstable to release. Ill rebuild it over the week and try to pinpoint the issue but its no guarantee I will be able to fix it, honestly man Im about over FIFA for this year. I really just want to play and I havent pplayed more than 3 or 4 games of my 1st patch and havent played the new patch at all.
js121;3267886 said:
They dont show when you play a game anyways. If you notice only a small portion of the stadium names show when you play a match. Its because only the generic stadiums are the only stadiums in FIFA 12 that will show edited stadium names ingame and their arent that many. If I release a second update and I wil include that. Really this 2nd patch was all about combining CONMEBOL as the only thing updated for CONCACAF is kits for MLS and Mexico. You guys shoould try playing in CONMEBOL region the league and tournament structure is similar to the Euro Leagues.

Below is what I used to learn and what you cant learn there you can ask me after you have a solid understanding. Problem is changing or adding any schedule can crash everything and it has nothing to do with what days games are played.
The new Competition Structure of FIFA 12
Tuesday, 25 October 2011 20:58 | Author: Rinaldo |
What I am doing right now is to analyze the new files for describing the competition structure of FIFA 12. I have to say that, this time, EA did a very good job and the new structure looks very flexible and well designed, I am not yet at the end of the analysis but many things are already clear.
Btw I want to thank Luca Piol and fifaccittiu for the tips they sent me about this argument.
Let’s start our analysis from the file compobjs.txt. It contains one entry for each competition object. A competition object may be:
the main FIFA entry
a confederation
a country
a competition
a stage
a group
Each line contains 5 fields
The unique id of the competition object
A numeric type identifier of the entry
· 0 = the FIFA world
· 1 = confederation
· 2 = country
· 3 = competition
· 4 = stage
· 5 = group
A string type identifier
A Description
A Parameter
The meaning of the parameter depends from type of the entry
If the entry is a confederation the parameter is the main FIFA entry
If the entry is a country the parameter is the belonging confederation
If the entry is a competition the parameter can be the belonging confederation or the belonging country
If the entry is a stage the parameter is the belonging competition
If the entry is a group the parameter is the belonging stage
A stage entry normally has at least one group but there are some cases of stages without group, I still have to figure out the reason why. A stage may require to play some real games or can be just a draw stage. In the second case it is marked as a SETUP stage. According, a group may represent the result of real games or may represent a pot to be used in a draw. In any case, at the end of a group execution you will have a standing, ordering the teams.
The file compids.txt is just a list of all the competitions reporting the unique id corresponding to a competition in compobj.txt. This is actually a redundant information, I guess it is used to speed-up the processing of the data.
The file advancement.txt contains information for moving teams from one group to another.
The four fields must be interpreted in this way:
The unique id of the group moving from
The rank in the moving from group
The unique id of the group moving to
The rank in the moving to group
The advancement.txt file can use only groups, not stages nor competitions.
In the file standings.txt, for each existing group, we must have a standing here representing the N teams in the group listed from 0 up to N-1.
The file schedule.txt contains information for creating the schedules of the games.
Each entry contains 6 fields
The unique id of a stage or of a group object (see compobjs.txt)
The day to play (count the days after a starting date maybe 26/12/2010)
The progressive week
The minimum number of games to play
The maximum number of games to play
The time
If a stage is referred the schedule applies to all its groups. Only the stages (and groups) that require to play real games can be referenced. A Setup stage and its belonging groups cannot appear in the schedule.txt file.
The file weather.txt contains information about the weather condition in the different months for the countries.
Each entry contains 8 fields
The unique id of the country object (see compobjs.txt)
The month
The probability of having a dry day
The probability of having rain
The probability of having snow
An unknown value – maybe the probability to have a overcast day
The sunset time
The dark night time
The file tasks.txt contains information about to determine the teams participating to a competition.
The unique id of the competition (see compobjs.txt)
When the action happens (may be start or end)
The kind of action
The id of the group affected by the action
Param 1 first parameter of the action
Param 2 second parameter of the action, if any
Param 3 third parameter of the action, if any
This file allows to define the rules for accessing a competition in a very flexible way. Here is the list of the rules with their parameters
FillFromCompTable CompetitionId, N teams
FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry League Id, N teams, Max teams
FillWithTeam 0 Team Id
FillFromSpecialTeams N teams
FillFromLeague League Id
FillFromCompTableBackup CompetitionId, Backup CompetitionId, N teams
FillFromCompTableBackupLeague CompetitionId, League Id, N teams
UpdateTable
UpdateLeagueTable League Id
The last file settings.txt files contains a list of attributes that are assigned to an object. Each type of object may have different attributes some of them are very intuitive, some other looks a little bitt obscure. Anyway this is the argument I am working on and I will post more details as soon as possible.

What do you mean "unique" I made all 7 tournaments in my patch from scratch and I had to use ID's(my own) that are not already in FIFA. Let me save you a lot of trouble if your trying to fix the schedule problem in my patch. There is nobody anywhere who has made a patch for FIFA 12 as complex as I have with working tournament systems and such. If you think you can just change a few pieces of data and use a different schedule man do you have a rude awakening coming to you. Be my guest trying as it will help you learn to mod the game but the crashes I get when editing the schedule could be the result of about 100 different things and it could take forever to corner in the real reason.
Good Luck!
jschuck12001;3268187 said:
don't get the wrong idea. you're patch is probably the most complex patch ever! no disrespect to other modders. all im asking is for is that id that you used to make the tournament so i can identify it in the schedule. that's all. im really thankful for all this info you've given me. ive never gotten this much help from anyone before. but ya this is all im asking for and im not really editing the schedule for all leagues but just to make it more fair for the teams im going to use.

Well the schedule doesnt refer to an ID Hello, it refers to specific lines in the compobj. Look at the first line in the compobj for the CCL which is line 1415, now open the schedule tables and scroll down, now you wont see 1415 but you will see only the lines listed that correspond to actual playing days within the CCL and unfortunately I am not at home to tell you what those lines are but you should be able to see them within the comp obj. I hope this helps.

Ok, I'm close to giving up of this patch. I installed clean FIFA into newly created folder C![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/vb/fslash.gif ":\ :\")
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\FIFA 12 (before this I tried with putting into main FIFA folder), then I put the i68 regenerator 2.1.0 into the very place (Game folder), but it says: "Index was out of range: must be non negative" and so on... Then I started the CM12 and regen nh files with AND without saving it (on the Page 1 it says we should not save because of the bugs, but I did both ways). FIFA simply didn't recognize the patch (no clubs or leagues). Then I copied fifa Origin application (23.4 M
from this folder to a main FIFA/GAme folder, replacing 21.9 MB file, and I regen it. The game didn't even started then.
The interesting fact is that I never had FIFA folder in My documents, but the people here keep say: "erase squads file from FIFA documents".

1. If you use Origin your FIFA is automatically installed into C
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\FIFA 12 so you must not be using origin. Did you read the readme to see what 2 versions of FIFA work with this patch?2. Who told you to put the regenerator into the FIFA Folder, anyway you can run the regenerator from anywhere on your desktop but if you cant get the regenerator to work then you will never get my patch to work or any other patch for that matter. See the I68 regenerator thread for help on this.
3. FIFA has all your saved games and squad files and they are placed into the my documents/FIFA folder. If you dont have that I have no clue what kind of installation or FIFA you are trying to use but it sounds very strange.
Follow my instructions on page 1 for prepping a fresh FIFA for installing a patch but you must be able to use the regenerator.
