Admin Command ? Conan Exiles Enhanced

Greetings! Can anyone tell me how to open the admin command console? It used to work by pressing the Tilde or Insert key, but for some reason, it’s not working for me in U5.

Hi,

I’m also having trouble opening the command console after the Enchanted update.

I’m playing in single-player mode on my PC; I’m an administrator, and the INSERT key—which worked fine up until version U4—no longer works.

No mods installed.

I performed a clean install by deleting the old files.

If you could offer any suggestions on how to fix this, that would be great.

Thanks

I’d like to take this opportunity to ask a question that’s off-topic.

I saved my character on Official server 1014 before the update to U5, but now how do I load it into my single-player game?

Thanks again

I’ve fixed the console issue—see here

Try this:

It works perfectly

Thank you so much!

I sadly do not understand anything what and how :confused:

To do this quickly, switch the keyboard to English.

If you have it enabled, pressing the key above the TAB key (on my keyboard, it’s the \ key before the number 1 and below the ESC key) will open the console.

I can not switch to english or everything else will buged as hell XD

Well I think I have to wait till Funcom will fix this

I’m reasonably sure I understand him. I’ll try to help.

First, make sure your game is not running, you need to make this change while it is off.

Do you know where your copy of conan saves the game to?

Normally by default it will be here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved

Open that folder - inside you’ll find a few more folders along with your saved games. Open the folder labelled Config. Inside that open the folder labelled Windows.

Inside that you will about 4 files. Double click on the one labelled Input. It should open up in Notepad, or some similar program.

Scroll down to the very bottom of that file. Right at or near the bottom, you will find a couple of lines that say:
[CurrentIniVersion]
Version=0

Directly above those two lines, you need to copy the following line (make sure to include all of the syntax/brackets etc:
[/script/engine.inputsettings] ConsoleKeys=Insert

Save the file and close it. (If you are worried about making changes like this, first make an exact copy of the unchanged file and save that somewhere else so you can drop it back in if something goes wrong.)

Then open the game, and the ‘Insert’ key should now open the console line for you.

Does that help?

I found the file … YAY

But sadly no it does not work.

Darn. Hopefully @MasterZiggy has some idea of why it might have worked for others but not for you. That’s beyond my understanding.

Thanks for the try! I hope Funcom will fix this soon!

I got it! It has to be not a one-row but two single parts here:

Ah. Good going! Sometimes it takes more than one of us to get there :slight_smile:

Edit: Darn, just discovered that if I’d gone back to his original post rather than just reading it off the summary in this thread, he actually has it as two lines there, it’s just the summary compressed it into one…

Sorry, I hadn’t been on the forum and hadn’t seen your posts. If it must be on different lines, I’ll paste the original post here:

I’ve found a fix, at least a temporary one :

  • Close the game if it’s running

  • Edit the file that’s located here : \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\Windows\input.ini file

  • At the near-end of the file, there should be a section ‘[CurrentIniVersion]’

  • Add the following line right before said section :

[/script/engine.inputsettings]

ConsoleKeys=Insert

Open the game, press the Insert key, the console tab should open

If it’s not clear where to add the line, This is the content of my Input.ini file :

;METADATA=(Diff=true, UseCommands=true)

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
ConsoleKeys=Insert
ConsoleKeys=Tilde
ConsoleKeys=F10

[CurrentIniVersion]
Version=0

*(With this you can open the console with the tilde key, with insert or with F10)
*
It works fine and there’s no need to change the keyboard language to English.

If you don’t change the default key mappings, the input.ini stays like @MasterZiggy posted.

Anyway the section header [/script/engine.inputsettings] may occur only once. If it’s already there you only need append the line at the end of the section mentioned above.

ConsoleKeys=Insert (example if insert key is choosen)

In any other case bothe lines hae to be inserted to get it work.

Cheers
