Need left 4 dead console help

Hi my left 4 dead console doesnt work? I think i press the right button and it just doesnt work! i already enabled it in my settings. Please help me

 

Wait what?! You press the right button? Try to press `/~ (it's on the left of 1).

 

Perhaps he meant the right (in contrast to the wrong) button. Well in any case perhaps adding a "-console" (without the quotes) in the shortcut's target box would make that work.

 

did you enable console in options?

 

If you are using a hispanic keyboard or something like that... yeah, you'll need to do what kisetsu17 said.

 

Oh, I'm sure he hasn't.....

I had the exact same issue with left 4 dead. You need to write -console in the startup options (right click L4d in steam - Properties - Launch options - Type : -console). Now you'll have the console when the game starts. Start the game and now you'll need to bind the key to open the console manually. In console, type : bind ~ toggleconsole (You can set whatever key you want, just replace the "~")

Hope that helps.

 

Like I said. But I think by default all Sierra/Valve based FPS's (and hey, almost all FPS I've been playing 'til now) conventionally use the tilde key ( ~ but actually is supposed to be ` ) for their console, so you may not have to bind it. Just to be sure, just type in "bind `" without the quotes, and you'd know if it's currently bound to the console.
