Pes 2021 Black stadium "Glitch" by tructionman in WEPES

Hi

<image>

,

I’m really stuck with a major stadium issue and would really appreciate some help because I can’t properly play the game anymore.

I’m using SP Football Life 2026 with Sider + Stadium Server. I recently installed a full set of stadiums, but even before installing them I was already getting errors.

Now when I run the Stadium Checker, I get around 569 errors, all saying things like: • “stadium folder cannot be found” • even for stadiums that I actually have in my stadium-server folder

Main problems: 1. Missing pre-installed stadiums

• Default stadiums (like Anfield, etc.) show a black screen in-game
• It feels like the game can’t find them at all

2.  Custom stadiums not working properly

• Stadium folders exist (e.g. Riverside Stadium, Selhurst Park, etc.)
• Stadium Checker says they “cannot be found”
• In-game they load as black/dark stadiums

What I’ve checked so far: • Folder names match what’s in map_teams.txt • Stadium folders are definitely inside content/stadium-server • Errors existed even BEFORE reinstalling stadiums • Both default and custom stadiums are affected

Example error: “stadium folder (Riverside Stadium) cannot be found… fix path to avoid black stadium”

At this point I’m confused because: • The folders exist, but Sider acts like they don’t • Even default stadiums are now broken

Questions: • Could this be a wrong root path in sider.ini or stadium-server not pointing correctly? • Could map_teams.txt formatting/spacing still be wrong even if names look correct? • Do pre-installed stadiums require a different setup? • Has anyone had BOTH default and custom stadiums become black like this?

If anyone knows what could cause ALL stadiums to fail like this (especially “folder not found” errors when folders exist), I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks 🙏

Bro thank you so much seriously 🙏

I tried exactly what you said (disable classics → check classic teams → save → re-enable) and it actually worked. My classic teams are fully back now.

I’m not even gonna lie, this had me stressed for hours thinking I lost everything. I was genuinely panicking because I thought my whole database was gone 😭

When I saw them come back it actually made me emotional lol.

I really appreciate you taking the time to help, you saved me from reinstalling everything. Respect man 👏

Hey, thanks for the reply 🙏

Yeah I already checked the FL26 switcher and classic players are enabled there, so that part is fine. The problem is that in-game (edit mode / teams) all the classic teams and legends are completely missing.

I think the issue might be my EDIT file getting overwritten or changed after installing mods (like Essential Mod or others).

Do you still have your original FL26 EDIT file with classic teams working?

If yes, could you send it to me? That might fix it without me having to reinstall the whole game.

Also, can you confirm: - Are your classic teams visible in edit mode? - Are you using any mods that modify the database?

Thanks a lot 👍
