Mass Effect 3 - PC
How tO Enable The Console At In Game:
-------------------------------------
To enable the console, browse to and open the file. Documents/Mass Effect/Config/Bio/Input.ini
(the full location is mentioned above) in any text editor (Notepad, for example), but not with
rich text editor (Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, WritePad, and the likes).
In the file you opened, search for [Engine.Console], and add the line
ConsoleKey=Tilde just under it. By default the [Engine.Console] section will contain:
[Engine.Console]
MaxScrollbackSize=1024
HistoryBot=-1
ConsoleKey=Tilde
The code addition is marked as colored text
Note: some keyboard layouts, specifically on non-US English layouts, the Tilde key will map
differently, and the game engine will not recognize the Tilde keyword. In this case, you will
need to select a different key, such as Tab, CapsLock, or any other to function as the console
key.
Bug: Please be advised that when you shut down your computer, or completely exit the game
for a prolonged period, the BIOInput.ini may be overwritten, and thus will not have the
console enabled.
