pincaviglia86: There is no need to fool with any of those debug mods. If you follow the steps I am about to explain, then you will not now, nor ever need a debug console mod to enable the console. This method is safer, and much more game-friendly, anyway...than putting dll files in your game folder:
Go to MY DOCUMENTS, and open the witcher 3 folder there. This folder is just a place to store user settings, etc. Anyway, in this folder, open the "user" text file and do the following things: (type exactly as indicated)
1. If [General] is not there, then Type [General] at the very top.
2.under that type ConfigVersion=2
3. under that type DBGConsole=true
4. Now select save as....and give the file any name you want (other than "user")
5. Delete the text file file named "user"
6.Rename the file you just saved in step no. 4 above...to this user.settings
That is it...now enjoy the console.
P.S. if you have the debug folder and the dsound dll already in your The Witcher 3\\64\bin folder...it might be a good idea to delete those files as the mod did not work for you anyway.
olnorton: Thanks for this pincaviglia86, though it appears line 3 should read: DBGConsoleOn=true Go to MY DOCUMENTS, and open the witcher 3 folder there.

1. If [General] is not there, then Type [General] at the very top.

Or you could just add the line DBGConsoleOn=true to the general.ini file in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\base.
