It seems the Archive Invalidation and file installation can be flawed for some players. To our luck our community members found a whole range of solutions!
Archive Invalidation INI settings aren't working
The easiest way is BethINI. Open it, enable Load Loose Files (which is Archive Invalidation) and save. A few clicks and it simply works!
See this detailed Howto: Archive Invalidation to set the INI values with Windows tools (It also contains a Troubleshooting section)
Target folder for installation
There are multiply completely valid and usable installation folders, depending on your game version and/or OneDrive. Until best practices for Starfield have evolved, use the one which is working for you:
1) Game folder for Steam version:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\Interface\ (when your Steam library is on another drive search the Starfield folder there) 2) Game folder for XBox/Game Pass version:C:\XboxGames\Starfield\Content\Data\Interface\ 3) In your user folder: C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data\Interface\ 4) If your user folder in OneDrive: C:\Users\<YOURNAME>\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data\Interface\
Note: The folder Starfield should already exist at the location. The folders Data and Interface may exist, depending on the used folder and your previous installed mods. If the Data or Interface folder doesn't exist, simply create them.
There was a hint that the upper/lower-casing of the folder names make a difference, so make sure you type all folders exactly as shown
Important note: The game will only use one of those directories. So make sure to put all mods into the same location. Also (when not using [General] bEnableMessageOfTheDay=0) the game create the Data folder into your Documents\My Games\Starfield\, which will then force the game to use only that directory.
I see $ColumnLabelCount This is caused by missing file Data\Interface\Translation\StarUI_Inventory_en.txt. Make sure you have that file installed. For Vortex users: Simply re-installing the mod fixes that problem. (May need to be done several times)
I see columns with "?"... Either you have edited the config ini and entered a invalid column name, or you are using an old version/patch.
Controller support? StarUI Inventory has full controller support since version 2.1. Hold L1 in the item list to access all new StarUI Inventory functions.
Temporary columns not saving when leaving the inventory? That's right, the function only add temporary columns that only lasts until the inventory is closed. To add permanent columns just add them to the categories via StarUI Inventory.ini.
There are colors? Simply select "No Colors" in the installer if you want no colors. (for manual install use the INI preset No Colors)
Been using this for a while now. and I have hacked together my own Excel file, that imports the "sMassTransferIgnoreFormIDs = 0000000A,0000ABF9, etc..."
into a worksheet, and then I have an item list I have been compiling from different lists on the internet. It shows Item#, Name, Category, KEEP, Formatted ITEM# (with ,) and an indicator for Exists sMassTransferIgnoreFormIDs list in the ini file. I just set the Keep to Y for anything I do NOT want to sell, and Blank it out to remove it or add it back to the sell list.
It creates the keep list all formatted out in a long , separated string, that I can paste back into the ini file.
It would be GREAT to see something built in. Like if you are on your inventory screen, have a column with an indicator to show Y or N if it is in this list in the ini. And maybe a hotkey that toggles it back and forth and adds and removes it automatically from the ini file.
Not sure how difficult that would be, or even if other people would find it helpful or not.
after full wipe of the game and .dll files, reinstalled game still same problem so thus found out fix was to reinstall the Graphics card driver package which had some how got screwed up.... fixed working again
Ok....so after the latest update a few days ago I updated all relevant mods and the game became very very "laggy"...became unplayable. It would be fine until I went into the UI and then would go to crap and become unplayable. I disabled StarUI, Smooth Interface, and Compact Inventory UI and it went back to very smooth gameplay again. I have 400 hrs in the game thus far with absolutely no issues and running smooth as glass until the update and the updated mods mentioned. Has anyone else had this issue? Disabling these mods fixed the lag "unplayable" condition for me but kinda liked the the mods features. Anyone have a better fix than disabling them?
I experience IMMENSE lag when using this mod, basically gaming at 90fps at all times, then it drops to 10fps whenever I open my menu...disabled this mod and the problem went away...even having the issue with the ship builder from starui...any thoughts or advice? Im so used to skyui its hard to imagine playing without this!
Hello. For whatever reason, sometime if I stayed in the inventory (in and out of combat) I cannot exit from it. Not even when I press the exit buttons long. This only happened when I'm in the inventory, either shopping or equipping anything. I'm using the 'StarUI' mod set but only the inventory doing this.
Need a little help here. Someone should know a fix for this!

Now the mod no longer works, yes I have re-installed the mod still not working..
I liked this Mod so much too.
Thanks

Any Idea why my ship parts are still being mass transferred when I've added their ID to the ignore list?
Thanks.
How do I change the color to the default color showing on the images?
