Game Cheat Console
I can't open the game console with "~" for any game. When I was using XP that
was not a problem. But what happens now? 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? |

Is vista missing something? I have not had that problem in Vista and, frankly, it has nothing to do with Vista but it has a lot to do with the game itself. Some games require that you enable the cheat in an ini file, others use something else besides the "~" such as cntrl, shift, c. What game is it you want to cheat in? You are rather vague. If a game is not compatible with Vista try running it in compatibility mode. |

Is vista missing something? How about the game name? Mostly, they require odifying the shortcut to enable the console. I've run numerous games and used the cheats.

Firstly, i posted this on microsoft website. But it ended up here. and i had to register. So it's still me. Ok. Currently I'm playing Gothic 3. And i know about the issues with ini files, or other changes i have to make. But i had. I played this game when I had XP. There was no problem opening the console with tilde key (~). On Vista I can't do that anymore. Another Example is Rome Total War. I can't remember now but i had problems in many other games that didn't even require modifications in ini. files or stuff like that. So the issue isn't other keys also. I ended up with the conclusion that Vista is to blame because on XP it worked fine... and when I had vista (home premium) .... it didn't. -- 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 |

I ended up with the conclusion that Vista is to blame because on XP it worked fine... and when I had vista (home premium) .... it didn't. I played Gothic 3 on Vista with no problem and also on XP but for BOTH systems you need to do the following as per : http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/dos...de/920920.html Open the ge3.ini file in the Gothic3/Ini folder and change the following line in Notepad: [Game] TestMode=false to [Game] TestMode=true You can then press [~] (tilde) while playing to bring up the console. It may also help to have the latest patch in the game. I am playing all sorts of games cheating or not cheating and have had no problems in any of them in vista. Some games, such as The Witcher, don't have cheats at all. I don't know what your problem is but you may need to patch your games and look up how to cheat in them and try playing in compatibility mode. Remember patch, patch, patch. Also, is your font size set to default or custom? Set it to default as a custom setting can cut off a menu in some apps or games. Or are you just wanting to complain? It is not Vista or any other OS causing your problem because they have nothing to do with the cheat console in a game that I know of or can find. |

Cheers http://spookpaleis.myminicity.com/ind/ 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. |

Uhm... firstly i am not a linux lover. I know it's an OS but i never seen it in my life. Secondly, I see that u are like a knight in defense for Vista. It is a little careless to say that it's everything else's fault but Vista. Keep an open mind, don't be narrow-headed. I already told u that for every game with the cheat console problem... I took the necessary steps. And that includes mods in .ini files, shortcut parameter adding, patching, compatibility settings, and so on. I usually work hard on a problem and appeal to forums as a last resort. So a little respect... as Trolls as u say don't do that. The issue is simple. Following the same steps... the cheat console worked fine on XP but not on Vista. And I am not talking only about Gothic. But many games... and I am not the only one who has this problem. Hit it on google and u will convince yourself. I am open to suggestions... P.S. Why are you so defendant of Vista? It's a prototype on the market, admit it. As was XP. Xp worked fine only when the SP2 came out. -- 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 |

I said ANY OS, that it was not the fault of any OS. I am not defending Vista but stating a fact. I really don't care for Vista but have NEVER had the problems you mentioned in any game, at all. Maybe your system isn't up to running Vista, who knows. |

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 |
