Debug Console Commands

I noticed the debug commands isn't stickied in the forums or listed in a guide yet I wanted to put it up here so everyone has easy access to it in the steam overlay. This information was taken directly from Bethesda's official forum at this link http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1508646-debug-console-commands/

Debug Console Command
Again, all this info was taken from Bethesda's forum at this link: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1508646-debug-console-commands/

NOTE: It seems enabling the debug will stop you from getting achievements. To circumvent this matter, you can enter the R_swapinterval and R_forceaspectratio commands into <the evil withinconfig.cfg> at
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\TangoGameworks\The Evil Within\base
Just add the lines at the end and save and you will never have to use the debug menu, however any changes you make in the options screen will revert the cfg file unless you make it read only.

To access the debug console, do the following:

1. In Steam, right click on The Evil Within and select “properties” then under the General tab, hit “set launch options.”
2. Put this in to unlock the console: +com_allowconsole 1
3. Once the game has launched, hit the Insert key to bring down the developer console.

These are the commands you can use and some notes about each:

R_swapinterval <NUMBER>
Sets the FPS lock. Note that the numbers below are negative.
-2: This is the default, set to 30 FPS. This is the officially supported frame rate.
-1: This sets the FPS limit to 60. Fully playable, although there may be quirks but noted that they're going to fix these.
0: This fully unlocks the FPS. They do not recommend playing above 60 and they will not fix any issues above 60.

God
God mode. You are effectively invincible, and certain enemy kill moves will not be used against you (Laura, for example, will not jump on you)

Noclip
Allows you to walk through walls

G_infiniteammo
Unlimited ammo (provided you have at least 1 bullet when you enable this)

G_stoptime 1
Stops time. Note there is a bug right now where using this command causes a UI element to appear on screen.
Re enable time with g_stoptime 0

Toggledebugcamera
Separates the camera from Sebastian so you can freely move around

R_forceaspectratio <NUMBER>
Sets the aspect ratio. Default is 2.5, which is our official aspect ratio.
0 is full screen, but not ideal. 1.8 or 2 is probably most comfortable for those who don’t want bars.

Com_showFPS
Turns on id’s native FPS counter

Startslowmotion2
Slows down time

Stopslowmotion
Disables slow motion

I duno about your situation then. The only thing I could find on the steam forum is to try disabling the steam overlay, maybe worth a shot.
