m17 in game console problem

Hi

At every game I used to play on my PC I had no problems to open the Console by pressing ^ ... but @ the m17 ... no chance ... I tryed ~ ^ combinations with strg + alt ... nothing happens ... (only Quake 4 ^ + strg + alt works)

I have a german keyboard and so the german Languagebar (DE insted of EN in the Taskbar)

Can sb help me ... searched in the internet and here but I found nothing about this problem ("in game Console" is often mixed up witch gaming console^^)

what happens if you press the ^ button in a text editor like word?

also, in some games you need to enable the console (such as CSS).

 

e.g. if I write here and I press ^ it is ^ written Thats why I think that it's the same "effect" in the game. And e.g in Crysis I can't finde an option to do is ... And when I run Crysis @ my PC I can, with out enable the console, open the console with ^ ...

You say as an example CSS ... there the console is a window ... I mean a little "window" comming from the top of the sceen during playing.

I will try to set the Keyboardlanguage to EN ...
Thanks 4 help

Try ~.
In left 4 dead, you need to enable console option first.

 

in LFD do you anable it in the Options or config/startoptions?

 

in the options under keyboard i believe.

 

In my L4D it's the ` symbol

 

Solution: +devmode (startoptions)

Than "r_displayinfo = 1" is always enabled and the console is openable by pressing ^

add "+devmode" to the program's .exe name.

 

e.g.

"G:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin64\Crysis.exe" +devmode

The " " have to end bevor +devmode?

well i don't know if that'll work for all games...

 

You mean "G:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin64\Crysis.exe +devmode"

will work as well and normaly for all games?

I never tryed it^^

i am lost by what you mean by "in game console"....????

 

Hm ... how to explain ... this is a "option" to use commands ingame
It normaly drops from the top and than you can write commands @ BF2, Crysis, Doom, Quake ...
At steamgames you have the console normaly in the middel of the menu (startoptions -console)

To make your game show your FPS for e.g

exactly. for example, in CS:Source, you can change the gravity in-game to different values with "sv_gravity X"... this lets you jump higher or float around, depending on the value.

 

year ... and I think especially at CS:Source the "FPS_max 300" is one of the "you have to have" commands

edit: and @ Topic: "use console to show FPS rate: "net_graph "1" "
