How do I activate the developer console?

[Milacetious]

I'm at a bugged out quest and I need the developer console to retrieve an item I require that's no longer in the game world.

Hi there!
You have to go to your documents > My games > We Happy Few > Config > WindowsNoEditor and open input.ini
Make sure you changed at least one keybinding so the input.ini isn't empty and then add this to the file

[/script/glimpsegame.glimpseconsole]
bConsoleEnabled=True

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
(should be all the keybindings here, if not just add the line above)
ConsoleKey=F1
ConsoleKeys=F1

Don't forget to also add -console to your game launch options :)
Tell me if you need more help

What does card farming have to do with using a dev console? Trading cards only drop from time spent playing a game, no? VAC, as far as I'm aware, is strictly against online cheating. Using a built in console to alter the game in a single player game isn't cheating. The only experience being ruined would be your own.

Sorry, but every single thing you just said was incorrect. Not a hack, cant get banned for console commands fun, and cards have a set drop number (like 3-6 cards per game).

Where did you even get any of this into your head?

No, you only get VAC bans from posting stupid things like that one here
Its a leftover from alpha version where you had Developer Console avaible from game menu.
Thanksfully they didnt disable the console in relase version of the game.


BTW: the -console startup command is not needed. Again a leftover from how to enable console in alpha.

theres already a thread or two about this, you should have simply read them instead of creating yet another one.

Or do as any other who want to be guided in features of the game. Look in guides. I posted the (updated) console info in a there at game release.
