Problems With Console

[Trish Watts]

Worked for a while using console to get XP points but now it freezes the
screen (when in game) and doesn't add them. Also will not quick save (F9)
since been using Console in game - any idea why??

Don't use the console when in the game... go to the menu if you want to use it... or you can exit the console by hitting the "~" key... that works too... Anyway, I had the same issue.

if it freezes, then i just hit the escape key and wait a bit, then hit it again... it should either defrost, or go to the menu screen...

I thought I could only use console in game. I didnt think it opened
at the main menu - guess I'll try that one then. Will let you know.

Ya I was having the same problem. Just remember; use the "~" to open and close the console. DON'T USE THE 'X' in the corner.

[Trish Watts]

Thanks for that I think I have been using "X" so maybe that's why I've had so many problems.

I had problems with the console too at first. (I'm running a Win98 box.) I found that if I moved the mouse out of the console window, and then closed the console using the ~ key, the mouse pointer would remain on the screen and the mouse would no longer control the character. I had to make sure the pointer was within the console box when I turned it off for the pointer to go away.
