Enable Debug Console without mods!

[Crimsomrider]

There is a way to enable the debug console without actually downloading (and waiting) for a debug mod.

Go to :

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\base directory

open the General.ini file and copy-paste the following under the [General] line :

DBGConsoleOn=true

Save the file and you're done.


Thanks to Slater3611 who originally left a lot of these instructions on the Nexus.

Why would editing a general.ini file on your own computer necessitate anything from Nvidia? Doesn't it load up the same files from your computer to run the game?

Maybe someone knows how to enable console if i'm playing Witcher 3 trought GeForce Now on nVidia Shield?

I screwed up with bad endings and I very want to fix it but don't want to make a fast-run =(

GeForce Now is a subscription service(I think is in beta now, so don't know about prices) from NVIDIA in which you have access to a number of videogames via streaming. Google it for more info, but it's a client-server way to run games: NVIDIA puts the hardware to run the games and you receive the image in your computer.

NVIDIA Shield: a console like device(though is way less powerful than a console) at which you can stream games either from your PC through GeForce Experience App or from GeForce Now.

Thanks!
I see your point. I'll try to ask them. I know that GFN is cloud computing.

But I thought maybe there some options like starting parametrs which are in steam options for the game...

The option is for any version of the game. Enabling the console is totally game related, it doesn't matter under which store client program you run the game.

Got a question, does enabling the debug console mess with your in-game savegame or anything?
I'd like to use the console to get some items before i start with the last DLC (blood & wine), i've already completed both the main story & hearts of stone and now i only have blood & wine left, but i'm afraid that my savegame will get corrupted or something if i add the debug console to the game, do you guys think it's safe & that nothing will happen to my savegame if i add it?

I'm only asking cuz i'd rather be safe than sorry and thanks.

For safety's sake, create a manual save before doing anything.

But using the Debug Console should not have any issues. There's one command that gives you one of every single item in the game that can sometimes bork your game. But just adding a few items here or there should not be a problem.

Thanks.

On portuguese keyboards it's the "ç" key, BTW.

update 2019 - in "C:\Users\username\Documents\The Witcher 3 (username will be your unique username) you will find the file named "user" - open up, ctrl+f and look for general and paste command line between [General] and configversion=2:

[General]
DBGConsoleOn=true
ConfigVersion=2

I did the above mentioned and nothing worked - checked around through some files and folders and figured out the following: *Tested and it works!

if done in the initial folder path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\config\base - steam will update and replace your general file to its original state
