    The folder and file restrictions for Gamepass on PC ruin the entire experience. Ex: Starfield


    Modding is a HUGE part of playing any Bethesda game (Starfield, Skyrim, Fallout 4, etc). Microsoft (Gamepass version) locks down the Starfield folder (and the Starfield.exe especially) to prevent 3rd party applications from hooking into the .exe to do things with it. As a result, the SFSE (Starfield SKSE) which hooks into the Starfield.exe to expand the scripting capabilities is completely blocked, there is nothing the SFSE (SKSE) creator team can do about that it is solely on Microsofts end.

    What do the players want?

    We want an option to disable the protection so modders and players can have a level playing experience just like those who bought the game on Steam. It makes ZERO SENSE that we are unable to use the Starfield Script Extender... just because of a silly rule put into place for little to no reason. It's an offline game.

    Honestly couldn't agree more, if this doesn't stop I'll just switch to steam I don't understand why features that steam players have access too are being limited or removed for players on Xbox game pass.

    Starfield won't launch on xbox game pass for pc(premium upgrade purchased)

    Delete the starfield .exe from the install folder then boot up Xbox app, do a verify and repair on the game files and it should work

    Starfield is not recognizing my special pre-order items on one of my PCs, but it is on the rest.

    I found a fix on PC from a guy on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/166ugs5/this_save_relies_on_content_that_is_no_longer/

    1. go to your xbox folder :)/xbox games)
    2. in the xbox folder you will find 3 folders\
      1. Constellation
      2. Old Mars
      3. Starfield
    3. go into the Constellation folder and copy all the files except the content folder into the Starfield folder (all the EACExxx files)
    4. go into the Constellation folder -> go into the Content folder -> go into the data folder and copy the 3 files, then go into the Starfield folder -> Content folder -> data folder and paste the 3 files there.
    5. Repeat step 3 and 4 but now for the Old Mars folder. (Copy again the EACE files into the starfield folder and again copy the 3 files from the Old Mars data folder into the data folder of Starfield
    6. launch the game and the error should be gone
