    Download dxwebsetup.exe from Micro$oft. With an open internet connection
    setting, run it. It will give you any files you are missing. DX10 or 10.1
    (SP1) is installed in Vista. dxwebsetup.exe will install DX9C end user
    files and will not hurt DX10 or 10.1. Sorry, I fussed at you. I was
    annoyed with others in another group and thought you may be part of them.
    My apologies.

    Depends on the game. In Source games there's an option to enable the
    console in the in-game options, (Look for an Advanced... button somewhere)
    I think you can also pass -console to the program you're running. Right
    click on the game in Steam there should be an option to add command line
    parameters to the game launch.

    It's not really a "Game Cheat Console". If you called it the "Game
    Console" maybe less people would accuse you of cheating. I use the console
    for running/testing maps, so if anything it's more of a "Debug Console".

    Try being a bit more diplomatic and you might get more replies. It's an
    important part of the puzzle to know if others are having the same problem.

    Sry... I respect the problems of others but i require others to be
    diplomatic with me in return. That fair enough.

    I tried with the dxwebsetup. But no change.

    Re: Game Cheat Console

    Greetings,

    I am also having the ~ not opening the game's console/debug mode. I have
    tried the suggested fixes but it will still not apear on games as gothic 3,
    Oblivion, Rome total war.

    With Oblivion there was an modification that gave you a ring that opens the
    console and they stated on the Oblivion boards that it was a known bug in
    vista. Now I do not know if it is inteded this way (security reasons? Making
    the game run on admin mode did not change any thing sadly) but it is annoying.

    I have gothic 3 and oblivion on my laptop and pc. Both games run nice and
    smooth. My computer has Windows XP, my laptop has vista I have reinstalled
    gothic 3 on both and applied the same steps. It opens on XP without any
    problems and on Vista it doesnt. Both my computer and laptop are high above
    the game's min req.

    Both windows XP and windows vista are running with the latest updates so are
    the graphical cards drivers. (24/06/08 last checked)
    I would love to see a sollution aswel.

    Okay, I can tell you what the problem is. 2 years too late, but still: you have a computer (probably from HP) that came with MCIR 109 keyboard driver installed. This driver screws with various key bindings. Uninstall it and your tilde will work. I just fixed my own problem with R:TW by doing it.
