Most modern updates, such as the Gudpley Patch or ISN Patch, require a specific installation sequence to function without crashes.
Clean Installation: Start by deleting all existing files in your PES 2013 directory except for the img folder to prevent version conflicts.
Database Refresh: If you want to start fresh with new rosters, navigate to your Documents folder (KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2013\save) and delete the OPTION.bin and EDIT.bin files.
Version Selection: Use the Selector tool (often included in patches like Icaro or Gudpley) to choose your second division leagues and apply specific league structures for the 2024/25 season. Graphics & Performance Optimization Absolutely

Even after correct installation, errors occur. Here are fixes for the top 5 issues. Just follow the steps slowly, and don’t skip
| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution |
|-----------|----------------|---------------|
| Game crashes at kickoff | Kitserver not attached or missing stadium | Re-attach Kitserver, regenerate files |
| Kits are all black or white | Patch files not overwritten correctly | Re-copy patch contents, overwrite all |
| Transfers are from 2013 | EDIT.bin not loaded | Copy file to Documents\KONAMI...\save, load in Edit mode |
| No sound | Wrong audio output in settings | In settings.exe, change audio device to your current output |
| Low FPS / lag | Vsync off or wrong rendering | Enable Vsync, set GPU power management to “Maximum performance” |
| Game doesn’t start | Missing crack or wrong .exe | Re-apply crack from patch (or use original if patch requires no crack) |
There are two main paths. Choose one:
| Type | Description | Best for | |----------|----------------|----------------| | Light Update (Kitserver only) | Updates kits, faces, and boots for 2024-25 but keeps original database. | Low-end PCs, minimal changes. | | Full Megapatch (e.g., Smoke, PESEdit, VirtuaRED) | Complete overhaul: leagues, transfers, stadiums, scoreboards, menu graphics, adboards. | Full immersion, modern football. |
For this guide, we'll use a modern Megapatch approach (e.g., PES 2013 Next Season Patch 2025).
