    As the Title says, I just can't pull up the Console Commands. Everything online says is the same key as always but it's not working for me. The Controls also don't list the Console key like they did before but I have seen people on youtube being able to pull it up just fine. Anyone having the same issue?

    Nope it was working and now it's not
    They seem to have disabled the consol key on the PC it was working last night but no longer I expect they have enabled a hot fix to disable it


    I hope there is a way to get it back as I work with disabled teens and for some of them the only way they can play is with the aid of the console commands.


    Perhaps if someone knows how (perhaps by editing the ini file!) they will post it here

    just a glitch I shut down and restarted and it was fine
    sometimes I think these computers enjoy being perverse

    It is more than a glitch it is intermittent the most fun of all computer problems to try and solve and right now the bethsoft forums page give me a 504 server down msg

    the key that i use to bring up the console sometimes works but most of the time it does not no matter how many time i hit the ` or ~ key nothing happens and yes its a yea keyboard and version of fallout 4 i know the keyboard is fine i have tried it with 3 different ones and alt tabbed out of the running game to be sure it it is working. i have severe arthritis in my hands and access to the console is required for me to play
    is there any thing else i can try?

    Got a Norwegian keyboard, so the tilde key is actually a |. It works for console in all the other Bethgames, but apparently not for this one. I'll try to experiment and see if I find a key that works.

    Well it is intermittent for me so I keep hitting the key we use in north America the `~ key and yesterday it worked once now i had been playing and hitting the key after every fight so i would say i had about a 01% success rate today no luck at all... something is causing this for a small sub set of users and i hope they fix it soon.... to be sure it was not a fault in the keyboard i also tested with 2 other known good keyboards

    well in my case the key that brings up the console seems to switch for unknown reasons but since it is either the ` ~ key or the ' key i can try both and one seems to work. on Tuesday the ` key worked as it did for a while later on wed. on Thursday i had not yet found the ' key so i had no access and on Friday it stayed on the ' key all day... something is screwed here but since i can get it to work i will drop it.... now to try to figure out this whole settlements thing.

    Go to your documents/my games/fallout4.ini and add the line bAllowConsole=1 if its not there. I'm using English (United States) as keyboard layout and the console key for me is ~. When I posted a cheat on the Nexus some people were having problems opening the console too.

    Take a look here too:

    Also for any non US keyboard users please be reminded of windows built-in keyboard layout switching with the Ctrl+SHIFT and Left Alt+SHIFT combinations this may seem odd but such key combinations are often used in game as all of the keys are binded to in-game controls.. as i remember the former combination switches between any variants of locallised keyboard layout and the latter switches between any other language-related keyboard layouts, like Your own language and US keyboard... just so you know..

    EDIT typo fixes at least those that I've found
