How do you enable the developer console on microsoft gamepass?
I enabled mods and went into the gamefiles and swapped enable dev console from 0 to 1 but still nothing pops up. Am I using the correct key? is it ~? I was hoping to unlock the camera and cant find a way to open up the dev console.

Open the local.cfg file here:
\Documents\The Riftbreaker\config\

add the line:
set enable_developer_console 1

Now you can open the console on GamePass version.

The console is disabled on the Game Pass build. We were required to do so to ensure stability of the app. Sorry about that.

Well please enable it because some people have wide screens, and your game zooms in completely when playing in wide screen. Or you know, unlock the zoom feature as a game option.

Also if you're just trying to unlock the camera, add this line in the file - let's you zoom in and out with the scroll wheel.

set camera_enable_zoom 1

Warning: Game will CRASH if you zoom out way too far (Don't blame the developers, they locked the camera to prevent this!)

Think that's you because I've been using zoom for a while and I've played a lot simply zoomed out to maximum without issue. Or, as the DEVELOPER said:

Workaround for enabling developer console in GamePass version:

Create folder:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\The Riftbreaker\config

create file named developer.cfg here with:
set enable_developer_console "1"

Config doesnt appear by default on the gamepass version sadly.

EDIT: Nevermind, its there now for some reason. I didnt see a config folder yesterday when I checked docs. Thank you for the reply!

Mine appeared probably because I tweaked settings with the Launcher tool in the gamepass vresion.

Probably my PC then, I am playing in 32:9 (3840x1080) with max settings, RTX on etc... My pc probably doesn't like that XD

Well thanks for going around posting the "fix" for the game-breaking endgame rift bug without bothering to mention this. Another half hour wasted just trying to finish this mess of a game.

Happened to me too. It randomly deletes itself but will recreate if you change some settings and save/exit. This game is a MESS codewise.
