ETS2 Console does not work


MrSirViking

Recommended Posts

So i have been playing this game for ever! and the console has always worked. No problems with it. But then i did a reinstall of my windows. Started ETS 2 up as normal had set the console to work as i should in the config files and now it dosent work. Dosent matter what button i press it just dosent appear. I have tried a completly clean install with clean profiles and everything. But no luck! If i remove the profile so it has to make a new one when the game starts the console works in profile maker but as soon as the profile is made the console dosent work anymore. Does anyone have an idea on how to get it to work? I am at a complete loss!

I have done all that. I have reinstalled the whole game. Deleted the ETS2 folder in my documents. Redone the config file and it wont work. The only time i can get it to work is when i am in new profile maker. So when the game starts i click new profile and in there it works! as soon as i click out of new profile or makes a new one it stops working again :)

hey @MrSirViking salute ;)

 

do you use other programs as well ? like recording or any 3th party software that is running with the game ? 

is it's possible that the button is overwritten from another program.

 

try to disable all the programs you use for ets2 and then try again, to see if it works

But as i sad. IN New Profile. Where i make a new profile It works! so it does work in game. Just not when out of Make New Profile. As soon as i get out of make new profile its like the button just dosent work anymore.. And i have nothing running that i dont usually have running. Nothing that would take the console button :) Its the same in ATS. :)

Hi there,

The only thing I can suggest to you is that this problem could be down to your keyboard layout since you re-installed Windows. I suggest you try change your keyboard layout into English UK (It could be on English US - I know that changes some keys on the keyboard around) 

 

Take a look at the website below, it gives you a detailed list of the steps you need to do depending upon your operating system:

 

Windows 10 -  http://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-keyboard-layout-windows-10

Windows 8 - https://www.howtogeek.com/121169/how-to-change-your-keyboard-layout-in-windows-8/

Windows 7 - http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-change-keyboard-input-language

 

Forgive me if I am wrong, however it is worth the try and you can always revert back if it does not work.

 (Remember - Keyboard layout: English UK)

Best of luck :)

As i said. The console works in make new profile. when i am in where you make a new profile it works just fine. No problem there. As soon as i go out of make new profile it stops working. even if i make a whole new profile it dosent work. like it does not even work in the profile selctor menu :) And i just tried both US keyboard and UK keyboard.. Makes no difference :)

I suggest you backup your controls.sii before you do this

 

Alright, second solution for you to try:

1. Go to documents/eurotrucksimulator2/profiles

2. Go into the profile folder (will be a string of letters and numbers)

3. Find the file "controls.sii"

4. Right click "controls.sii" --> open with --> Notepad

5. Press CTRL + F : 

6. Search for this line:  config_lines[87]: "mix console `keyboard.grave?0`" 

7. Change/replace the word "grave" to "v" or to a random letter on your keyboard.

 

 

Let me know what happens.

That does not work. I can get the console in the new profiles and such but the new key V doent work. Its still the default key. so even tho i changed it in the controls.sii file the default console key is still the one i have to use :)

That is quite an interesting problem. Do you have any background applications, like recording software which uses that key? Did you open the controls.sii file in your profile folder and changed the key mapping for the console? Do you have any plugins or mods that might potentially conflict with console?

 

I just thought of something, whenever you can get the console, type the "minicon" command so you can see what's happening live whenever you get out of wherever you are. Or, you can simply put "1" at uset g_minicon in the configs.

 

Can you also send the game.log.txt? You can paste it in here.

So you can have a look here:  This is the three places the console work: In Mod Manager: http://cloudho.st/i/nlh2LmsG.jpg , In Edit Profile: http://cloudho.st/i/hCaELmsG.jpg , and in New Profile: http://cloudho.st/i/xJeULmsG.jpg  But here and everywhere else http://cloudho.st/i/jBIbMmsG.jpg

IT does not work!  Here is the Gamelog.txt : http://pastebin.com/8EuYCEbB 

 

And i have turned everything off that i did not need running with the task manager. Did not work :)

Hmm... You use an IR tracker? I wonder what would happen if you turn it off...

And as I can see, you haven't enabled the minicon which is a miniature developer's console. It should should all the warnings and errors. Again, that option can be enabled in your configs.

 

An IR Tracker? What is that? I dont use any tracker. I use LOGIT. but even with that turned off it dosent do anything. And i did the Minicon yesterday with Warrior where he saw it running and it did nothing. No errors :)
