... I just told u stop being so narrow-minded. It doesn't matter which OS it is. The games worked on XP, now they don't on Vista. It's that simple. Just because you haven't any problems that doesn't solve my problem. And my system is good. And it came with Vista on it when i bought it. I installed at first run. And I installed it correctly. Maybe some games work for u because u have some driver for Vista which I don't have. Or smth u do and i don't. That's what I'm interested in. And not arguing about OS-s If u know what "piece" misses from the "puzzle" required for the cheat console to work ok. But don't bother posting just to quarrel plz -- gretzki Have you installed the FULL DX9 ver. from MS |

I am not blaming any OS. It is not the OS as I stated in my answer that
it was not Vista OR ANY OTHER OS or can you not read. The guy is probably one of you Trolls. Oh, I forgot you and your little groupie club of Linux (aka Unix rip-off) users and insulters are just little kiddies that have nothing better to do than search and troll and use the forums for anything other than what they are for, yes. I am not that fond of Vista but at least you can run games on it. Try to do that in Linux. What, you can't? My, my. I'll bet you've never even tried it at all but just love to post your pointless mess that isn't even connected remotely to what the forums are here for just because you have nothing better to do. I actually feel sorry for you. Hahaha .... Relax !! Just pulling your leg. Like Vista but XP more stable for now. Cheers. http://warworld13.myminicity.com/ |

And I don't wanna hear stuff like "we don't support cheats" bla bla bla... windows vista interferes with the programming of a game. I'm really annoyed about this. I tried any other key but nothing. Is vista missing something? Download dxwebsetup.exe from Micro$oft. With an open internet connection setting, run it. It will give you any files you are missing. DX10 or 10.1 (SP1) is installed in Vista. dxwebsetup.exe will install DX9C end user files and will not hurt DX10 or 10.1. Sorry, I fussed at you. I was annoyed with others in another group and thought you may be part of them. My apologies. |

Is vista missing something? Depends on the game. In Source games there's an option to enable the console in the in-game options, (Look for an Advanced... button somewhere) I think you can also pass -console to the program you're running. Right click on the game in Steam there should be an option to add command line parameters to the game launch. It's not really a "Game Cheat Console". If you called it the "Game Console" maybe less people would accuse you of cheating. I use the console for running/testing maps, so if anything it's more of a "Debug Console". -- -A. |

Sry... I respect the problems of others but i require others to be diplomatic with me in return. That fair enough. I tried with the dxwebsetup. But no change. -- gretzki ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gretzki's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=47395 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=956684 http://forums.techarena.in |

Game Cheat Console
Greetings,
I am also having the ~ not opening the game's console/debug mode. I have tried the suggested fixes but it will still not apear on games as gothic 3, Oblivion, Rome total war. With Oblivion there was an modification that gave you a ring that opens the console and they stated on the Oblivion boards that it was a known bug in vista. Now I do not know if it is inteded this way (security reasons? Making the game run on admin mode did not change any thing sadly) but it is annoying. I have gothic 3 and oblivion on my laptop and pc. Both games run nice and smooth. My computer has Windows XP, my laptop has vista I have reinstalled gothic 3 on both and applied the same steps. It opens on XP without any problems and on Vista it doesnt. Both my computer and laptop are high above the game's min req. Both windows XP and windows vista are running with the latest updates so are the graphical cards drivers. (24/06/08 last checked) I would love to see a sollution aswel. |
