Fallout 3 Message Board  

hi everyone i have fallout 3 and i want tro use the ~ cheats but when i press it nothing happens i read that when u press that key the console is invisible untill u start to type but ive tried that and it still does not work! please how do i enable the console cheat please help.

try this...

use the console in a town or something where you can see people moving around. when you start to use it do the people "freeze" in place?

if they do then it should be working, you just can't see it. most likely your resolution is pushing it off the side of the screen. set your resolution down to 1024x768 and try again. if you can see it then just work your way back up the resolutions until you find one that is close to the setting that you want yet can still see the console.

but if the people don't freeze then your console isn't opening at all. if that is the case then the problem is most likely windows vista itself. but if you're not running vista then... i dunno. sorry

hey thanks for the info ive tried all of that and nothing still works the people do not freeze i dont get it oh well i will just use the trainer thanks alot
