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)
I'm having a strange issue after installing this and the rest of the UI's (Outpost, Workbench, etc.). I think I have the cause pinned down where using the Outpost screen some kind of way breaks dialogue options with companions. I have an earlier save on my game where I land on the planet and a later one where I started building and the only difference between the two was that I made an outpost. After that talking to my companion would soft lock you into the conversation without an option to leave and trying to trade items would also leave them staring at you.
I started a brand new character, I have only StarUI inventory, StarUI HUD and StarUI configurator installed using Vortex. I used Bethini for the archive invalidation. I am on Gamepass version.
When i open the inventory i get,
StarUI Inventory Error: Warning Out-dated interface files detected! Please check your interface mods. Most probably this file is outdated and causes problems: interface\invitemcard.swf. Update or disable mods containing this file.
Hello, I dont think I am the only here with this issue: re-downloaded the game and using MO2, now none of the Star UI mods work, am I missing something?
To add onto what some users have been saying: Fresh steam install on the latest game version, and this mod no longer works. For me, all the other StarUI mods are working, except for inventory. I've tried all the fixes I've seen but still nothing. This was the only mod I installed back when the game came out, and wanted it to be the first one I installed now that the modding scene is a little easier to manage. But no dice.
@m8r98a4f2 If someone can do it, then it's You: It would be wonderful if you could make a button to "Untrack All" tracked resources (those with a magnifying glass). Thank you so much for considering it.

Some users can't see the changelog in the files tab, so here it is:
Version 2.4.1
Version 2.4
Version 2.3.2

I also didn't understand, everything stopped working after the update.
