In such a large-scale and complex game, like The Witcher 3, one cannot do without a special tool for testing the stability and performance of all game elements. The developers used the console during testing, which allowed them to enter commands to change the parameters of the world or heroes. Players also have the opportunity to use a tool that will help in the passage. Next, you will learn how to open a console in The Witcher 3 and what to do with it.
How to activate?
Before the release of the game, developers blocked the opportunity and released the project on sale without a console. However, after some time, the fans found out about this chip and released an amateur mod that allows you to open the tool.
Before you open the console in The Witcher 3, you must download the special Debug Console Enabler patch, which is distributed free of charge on most sites with mods (for example, nexusmods.com).
Run the patch and install the contents of the archive into the directory with the game. For the mod to work correctly, you need to download and install Visual C ++ from the official Microsoft website.
How to use?
If you did everything correctly, you can easily start the game with this modification.
Launch The Witcher by any method and load the save. In the game, press F2 or ~ to launch the console. Also, the mod has an additional function - free camera mode. To go into it, press the F1 key. With this mode, you can freely move the camera and view the world and heroes from any angle.
If you use a licensed copy of Steam, then the game can automatically download new patches. In this case, the console will be turned off again. To fix it, repeat the procedure with the mod on the console. Now you know how to open a console in The Witcher 3. Let's move on to the codes.
