Very Small issue - Console Wont open. TGB

#1 Also try "ctrl + ~" For whatever reason sometimes one works and not the other.

#2 On a German keyboard (and maybe others as well), you'll have to use the ^ key together with CTRL (STRG).

#3 Still no dice, I am using a standard US QWERTY keyboard. The console works on the tankbuster demo, but nto on any project run in game mode from the editor.

I can read the console output after shutting down the program in my application folder (console.txt output file) but still no luck opening the console at runtime.

#4 Could you have some Gui control stealing all keyboard input? Usually ctrl + ~ still works even in that case. I don't know of any reason it would specifically not work when launching from the editor.

#5 I ran this on my windows xp laptop and it worked fine, so apparently all I can figure is it's having trouble with Vista. and it's not just from the editor, when I run the executable from the project folder it also stops me from opening the console.

#6 I see it's been a while since anyone replied to this thread and I was having this same problem on my laptop running Windows 7 64bit. It was working fine on my desktop that is using Vista, so I tried other things that use console windows and found that I couldn't access any console windows on my laptop. So then i just searched generally online about the problem, and a lot of people have it. This is the only "fix" I found and it worked for me.

Go into your control panel and devices. Look for your keyboard settings and uninstall any generic keyboard drivers. Mine were the ones that started with "Microsoft". After I did that the tilde key worked in-game bringing up the console window.

#7 i can't get the console to work. I press the |> play button and hit ctrl+^, ctrl + altr gr + +, ... i tried almost everything. Can i change the key for the console somewhere?

Edit: I'm using a german keyboard.

#8 Ok I fixed that by changing the key in game/scripts/client/default.bind.cs on Line 494 (T3D) :)
