Pes18 patch fully installed plus update but game gets stuck when trying to be play a master league or BAL match. I have tried reinstalling the patch but still face the same problem

Deletehi i cant open my sider, it seems have problems with sometething like "0xc000000b ". is it my computer problems or the sider. and if anybody know the solution I need your help. thanks

Hi,

When the ball go out either Throw-in, GK, or Corner kick. The game always crash.
What I install is
Smokepatch 20V2
Megaface pack
Adboard
Unlock Legend.
Does the patch only support offline mode? Or I need to do anything to fix this to play online mode?
Hello
DeleteWe build the patch for offline modes only
I recommend deactivate the patch for online play (use sp switcher inside download folder of the game)
this is the only site i trust. i need help. my pes 19 is running very slow on my pc my specs are : 4gb ram, core i7, intel graphics. kindly any help will be appreciated. thanks
ReplyDeleteHello and welcome
DeleteTry to change the game render settings or the graphic card settings, the vsync setting can cause this
From our side we always optimise the our files for faster FPS
Thanks for responding. Could you please send me a screenshots of how my render settings should appear coz I have tried so many times but no improvement. I'd really appreciate
Deletesetting that can work on a system will not necessarily work on other, depending on the pc and the graphics and so on,
Deleteyou are not the first one who asked about this, a friend reported that he only got lag when using the facepack, anyway this matter is noted for review for the next patch.
meanwhile I recommend trying different settings, inside the game render settings and the graphics card software.
ok thank you again. be blessed i will try my best as i keep checking on this wall for any updates on my issue.
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI have problem with Master League, when i finish some random match in UCL or in League at end of the match when i need to go next to exit the screen become black and stay like that, i can heard music in background but it's just a black screen. (Sorry for my bad english)
Hello
DeleteI assume you are talking about pes17
This problem is not from smokepatch or sp addons, it can happen if you add faces that have bugs, remove the faces you added that causes this problem
Hi, i've been trying to add some faces to the players without a real face, i copied and renamed the cpk file on the download folder, but when i run the game and search for the player in the edit mode, the game get crash and close
ReplyDeleteHello, try to find tutorials on how to add faces correctly, the cpk structure and Face ID should be correct.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWhen I run .exe, nothing happens, it will not launch a window for further installation.
What's happening ?
Hello, be sure nothing is blocking the installer, also be sure you have enough free disk space on c:
DeleteGud work by all standards and you guys really help us question is why are you people stopIn updating Pes 19 pls if I may ask when can you bring us Pes 19 latest kits and transfer
ReplyDeleteHello
DeleteAfter we complete the patch for pes21 we will convert database and most contents to older games. The older the game the longer the release of patch will be
Hi. I followed all instructions and installed the Smoke Patch 21 successfully but in game there are no changes. The game runs perfectly but still old kits and team names :( what did I do wrong? I installed it on the game directory and copied the Edit0000000 file.
ReplyDeletedon't forget to deactivate live update as shown in the install instructions
Deletewhy can't i instal your latest patch on pes 2021? your installer says smokepatch21 was not found in the selected directory
ReplyDeleteinstall the patch same directory where you installed the game
Deletei did " install the patch same directory where you installed the game", but it canont intall. patch21.04. tks
Deletereinstall the latest all in one version then install the update of that version
Deletefollow install instructions carefully
Will SP21 Expansions (Serbian, Ukrainian, Iranian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Egyptian...) be converted to older versions (more specifically SP 17) to be used as Alternative Leagues in place of Bundesliga?
ReplyDeleteno, this is for poes21, maybe pes20
Deletebut will not go below, old games are getting older
Ok, makes sense, thanks for your work. Looking forward to Serbian expansion. :)
DeleteP.S. In favor of SP17, and PES2017 in general, they're cool because they're so small and easily portable and, even though I can run PES21 without a problem, PES17 doesn't have those boring cutscenes you can't turn off in Master League where you have to play as some other coach instead of yourself for no reason, and even with stadium pack 17 is still very small and fast.
Think about it, make a poll if needed, I think Expansions would be downloaded a lot for PES2017, especially since a lot of those countries from Expansions still have potato PCs. I think PES2017 will be played longer than PES 18 and 19.
Cheers!
its about what the game can handle too
Deleteand either ways pes17, 18, and 19 are on borrowed time, we cannot keep updating them for long due to lack of resources
I try install the patch after extracting and it showing "cannot install the patch, Pes 2021 was not found in the selected directory
ReplyDeleteselect pes game folder in the patch installer, if you still get this problem reinstall the game to recover missing files
DeletePlaying Original PES2021 Steam Games using SMK21 v3 + Face Addon + Adboard Addon.
ReplyDelete- Stuck on pre-game when playing vs watford after install Addboard addon (before installing addon everything is fine)
- Crash when "Next Seassons" is happening. instanly Crash.
No, i dont use the fix for copy game. only install the 21.v3 since u stated that fix is only for the copy game.
Thank you.
the original game should not have any issue as we only use original game and any problem will show in our tests
Deletebe sure you are using the latest patch version, the original game doesn't need the fix for copy game, and be sure you are not using any incompatible mods, also be sure you selected (original game) in the installer options
Hi guys. Since the 2.0.4 up to now, I think u have forgotten to keep the option to choose the language for the commentaries. There is only In Game Text. Therefore, I can't use the game the way I like... because I use to choose English in game text, but Portuguese to commentaries. Now... Even When I choose Portuguese as default language, it keeps the comments in English.
ReplyDeletehello
Deletethere is nothing wrong with the languages,
you can install any desired language from addons and select it in the game options
Thanks for what you do, sincerely!!! Question#1 I am using PS21, I cannot find the switcher tool. Question #2 is smokepatch compatible with PESUniverse Option file? I want use that so the On-line mode looks nice... Thanks for your time!
ReplyDeletehello
Deletesmokepatch switcher is located in the download folder of the game
we only know smokepatch and sp contents, other mids are untested
When archiving a patch requests a password, what should I do?
ReplyDeletesmokepoatch files are not password protected, be sure the download is completed without interruption

I have installed all the corresponding patches of Smoke Patch with sider and the game works as normal, but the only problem I have is that the matches end very quickly
I have already verified the duration and speed of the matches in the game but still they always end too fast
I can place it in a duration of 30 minutes and it always finishes in 4 or 5 minutes
Can you help me with this
Thanks
hello, the game speed is default as made by the game,

Hi, I'm using PES 2017 SP17v3.2 update 17.3.5. After i finish a game in Master League it just froze and has a infinite loading screen. I reinstalled the patch several times, link from this site, no other facepack, no dpfilelist generating. I used PTE patch before and still have some old cpk files in the download folder. Should I delete them and the current dpfilelist then try reinstall again?
ReplyDeletehello,
Deletethis error with pes17 is the result of incompatible mods (usually with faces)
i recomend you delete or replace all the contents of the download folder and reinstall the patch on a clean folder, be sire to follow our install instructions only
if you install our faceack addon do not forget to install the facespack update also, if you have faces added in sider sp17 remove them as there are many faces on the internet that causes such issues
Can u pls tell what to do with my old smokepatch while installing new smokepatch i don't want it takes further more space can we uninstall old smokepatch before installing latest patch
ReplyDeletethe new patch will upgrade any existing smokepatch versions
Deleteyou can also delete the contents of the download folder of the game before installing the new version
hello i am having an issue where all faces made by konami in the datapacks are not appearing. any tips to fix this? thanks for all your amazing work!
ReplyDeleteyou need to install the facepack addon to have faces
Deletesmokepatch does not include any faces, please read the patch description to know the features
Everytime i play at the Camp Nou it gives me black screen after matches. I am using smokepatch 17.3.5
ReplyDelete- remove all the faces you added from others
Delete- reinstall sp facepack and its update
- do not change or edit the dpfilelist of the patch
Hi.
ReplyDeleteCan I make a video for my you tube channel using your smoke patch?
I read this in terms and conditions:
You may not use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial).
I'm confused here. You're talking about the files or making videos is included?
I just want to play a casual match and post it on my channel.
hello
Deleteyes we allow that if you link to the official website here
hi PPL, thank you for all this hard work. It makes our lives a bit more fun.
ReplyDeleteAfter the PES2022 fiasco, I decided to install (for the 1st time in my life) a patch for my Steam bought PES2021, found SmokePatch to be the best, downloaded more than 3GB of files and followed the instructions.
Everything seemed to be working fine, no errors, started the game, all screens have been updated to let me know that I'm running the SP version... EXCEPT all teams have not been updated? Even the names are old: "Manchester B" instead of Manchester City?
What could have gone wrong?
BTW, when installing the patch, even though I downloaded 3.8GB of files, I got "disk space needed: 259Mb". Is this normal?
Much appreciate all the help, thank you!
hello
Deleteif you didn't get any errors messages then the installation is completed,
did you deactivate live update (as shown in the install instructions of the patch)?
i have an issue 'cannot install the patch, PES 2020 was not found in the selected directory' .. can u give me an advice how to settle this problem.. tq
ReplyDeletehello
Deleteselect the folder where the game is installed,
reinstall the game if you still have this problem
Hi, in my opinion, you should focus on pes 21 this is the perfect game pes 17,18,19,20, these are games in which there are errors in 21 of these errors are the least, plus the level of legends is perfectly balanced compared to 18,19,20 I hope that pes 21 will be updated until the end of my days: D
ReplyDeleteHello SP Team , i have a big problem here with master league it crashes in half of the second season and i tried all youtube solutions but still same problem(also i tried to launch the game without the sider and it stills the same problem)
ReplyDeletehello
Deletethere are no solutions on YouTube as the patch does not have any crash at any moment in master league
users who have such problems did it by their self by adding incompatible mods or changing the patch files somehow,
reinstall the patch following our instructions only and start a new clean master league.
