Archive Invalidation

[Externalerr]

adding bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 sResourceDataDirsFinal= to my ini causes me not to be able to interact with anything which means i cant use some mods. does anyone know how to fix this

So, StarfieldCustom.ini looks like:

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

?

[Externalerr]

Yes it does

When you say "not able to interact", do you mean that when you try to open a door for instance, you can no longer do that?  If so, do you have any UI, "user Interface" mods installed.  Adding the lines bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 sResourceDataDirsFinal= to your StarfieldCustom.ini wont cause any issues in itself and is actually one of the first steps in setting up your game to load loose files for modding. What was discovered with the last update, was that certain UI mods like Star UI Inventory, Enhanced Healthbar, Scanner Uncumbrance Display and other UI mods were causing the activate key to go dead. Some of these mods have been updated, some may not have.

All of the StarUI mods have been updated. I use all of them, and no issues so far.

The StarUI series of mods have been updated, definitely not all other UI mods. The one that caused my issue, Scanner Encumbrance Display hasn't been updated since September of 2023. 

Edit: The original Scanner Encumbrance Display with Time mod by YoddleBerry, has been taken over and updated by PunishD and is now called Scanner Encumbrance Display with Time Updated. He just updated it today to compatible with 1.14.70 Shattered Space.

I used that one for a while. It didn't make the cut when the last major update dropped. (which, I think, is when the activation issues started.....) Though I thought I had read that it had been updated?? No??? It was a convenient mod, but, not a deal breaker not to have it.

not using an UI mods. so not sure whats happening. Did try starui but thats one of the mods that locked up trying to interact. even with out it and having no mods on, adding archive invalidation locks it up

You got a copy of your StarfieldCustom.ini file to see?.

Cheers!

Other question would be where StarfieldCustom.ini is located on your computer?
