    Credits:

    m8r98a4f2 for their fantastic contribution to the Starfield community. I seriously hope you're still out there doing well. A lot of folks are lost without a solution. For all the work I put into fixing this, I hope it can benefit you in the future, should you return. I can guarantee you know how to fix all this better than I have.

    Install (PC Only - Manual install):

    Simply copy these files to your current Starfield install directory:

    Starfield\Data\Interface

    or more specifically:

    steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\Interface

    You should see StarUI files already present in this folder, and it will ask you to overwrite them. Click yes to overwrite.

      []Minor performance fixes[/]

    • []FIX: Fixed issue with sReplaceMode not being applied correctly[/]

      []NEW: Added new option for sRarityColorExotic to allow for a custom color to be set for Rank 4 items[/]
