Heyo I havent touched this game in a while, was wondering cuz I dont remember but did they patch out the console commands on this version? was playing for a while and my character got stuck, wanted to ust tcl but noticed the console wouldnt open. also was looking around online and none of those fixes worked

How do you open the console? Read here.

I know that to open it you press the "~", what im saying is that even though I press it and the alt which is supposed to be shift+~ it does not open. whats even funnier is that even states in the readme in the game folder that you can use the console by hitting ythe tilde "~". so somehow the game isnt recognizing that but when I go into the options and bind something to it. is says KANJI lmfao. so somehow the binding for the console is misssing

edit: nope turns out its something to do with my keyboard drivers. I had to get a new keyboard recently and from what I read online thats the issue. did a uninstall of keyboard driver in device manager, reset pc. and now my ~ is working normal

Good. :-)
Thanks for sharing your solution with anyone who has the same issue.
