Space Empires 5 Message Board  

every site i been to have press tilde key for console, which is not working for me and many other where i am from, but EVERY site just copy and paste from eachtoher, thought maybe cheathappenes had done more research, but see now that they copy and paste only too

Have you tried using the @ key? Sometimes that works. It's because USA keyboards are designed diffrently from British and Europeon keyboards.

yea i tried everything

even chamged and tried american keyboard, german keyboard , sedish, UK etc..

the console just does not exist

There is no full console like you are used to from the Quake games.

Once you press the button, look on the far left border of your game screen. You should see the word "CHEAT: "
That's your console. You then type the cheat, press enter, then turn it off and turn it back on again before typing another.

yea thx, i understand how it should look like, but i have tested everything, should i install the game in another language?

there is no way you have to activate the console so u can use it, like in some games you must add -console in the shortcut

Try this...

open regedit

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters

There should be an entry named OverrideKeyboardSubtype with a type of REG_DWORD and a value of 2.
Set the value to 0 and reboot.

🤔 I've done as you suggested, but nothing changed. I'm using a Belgian azerty keybord and vista. The value of the REG_DWORD thingy was not 2 but 1 by the way. 🤔

Can someone please help? Many thanks in advance!
