Problems with accessing console - UK - Win10

Post » Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:19 am

Hi Guys,
I'm playing Fallout 4 on my PC (win10) with keyboard and mouse and I'm having issues with bringing up the console.
I'm on a UK keyboard and when I press "?" nothing happens?
I know there are a lot of problems with this on all the Fallout games with having controllers connected and interface devices in Device Manager playing up but I have checked all this and it's fine.
Also console works fine on my Skyrim / Fallout 3 and Fallout NV?
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
P.S I'm not trying to cheat with console I just wanted to use it if my quest or player bugs out!
Cheers for reading!

I know the console works, on Win7 anyway. That is not the correct key, it is the ~ key, but you don't need shift for it, so really it's the ` key, but ~ is easier to see. Note, this should be whatever key is just below Escape and above Tab on most keyboards.

EDIT You can't cheat in a single player game.

They seem to have disabled the consol key on the PC it was working last night bu no longer I expect they have enabled a hot fix to disable it

I hope there is a way to get it back as I work with disabled teens and for some of them the only way they can play is with the aid of the console commands.

Perhaps if someone knows how (perhaps by editing the ini file!) they will post it here.

Our keyboards are different. For Skyrim it was the `/? key, which is where your ~ is.

Our ~ is a shifted key above the #, which is next to the Enter key, which is also huge.

It depends on the keyboard. I know it works on Windows 10, cause I've used it.

The ~ key is usually in the upper left of the keyboard. But this could be different if you are playing on a notebook? On a mac, for example, it's in the upper left, second row.

Trust me I'm pressing the correct key as all my other Bethesda games the console works fine....

But just make everyone happy here is the key in question that I'm talking about....(yeah I know my keyboard is dirty...5 years old lol)

I brought up the console this morning, about 8 hours ago in fact. Needed TGM to take out that Deathclaw. I had killed him three times before as I was trying to get a quest working that I messed up by killing some things early that I should not have because I was lost. Anyway, I got things working for the quest and just did not want to kill that thing again as I needed to get to work.

The '/@ key is what brings up the console for me. Using UK layout.

Don't know why they changed it when it's been `/?/| since at least Morrowind.

In my case the ~ key is what's needed but rebooting the PC restored its function just a glitch I guess

Now its gone again and both last night and all day today the key is not working for me so it's a bug that only a few of us are seeing so I expect it will be quite a time before it is fixed
