I believe this is the way to get your photos back into the game. 1st make sure your settings are to choose photos 1st and then FGs.

Then go ahead into your leagues html/images directory and delete all the player_### files and lastname_firstname files. If your only using real photos then you wont have to worry about losing your fictional facegens.

Now if you copy all the player photos into this directory the next time you start the game it should automatically rename them to player_### and you should have photos pull up.

Keep in mind this is what I'm garnering from reading the boards and I'm not certain this will work but it should. (Backup your league) You may also want to temporarily clear the Fg_files directory and stock up your photos directory prior to loading your league.

I think the issue you may be seeing is that because it's an existing league the game is having trouble handling the different files in the images directory or some may not be there in the 1st place (at least not recognized by the game).

I hope this works...

BTW, I believe the remainder of the fg issues should be fixed before we know it.
