Kingdom Come Deliverance II is very punishing, and console commands can be a lifesaver at times. Whether you’re trying to tweak settings, fix a bug, or just have some fun, the console commands featured in the game are there to help you in every aspect. But what happens when they stop working altogether? Many players have reported issues with console commands not responding or failing to execute properly. If you, too, are encountering the same issue, don’t worry; you’re not alone. In this guide, we’ll check whether there’s a fix available yet.
Some Kingdom Come Deliverance II players are experiencing an issue where console commands simply don’t work, even after enabling “-devmode” in the game’s launch options. While the console itself opens as expected, entering commands has no effect, leaving players stuck in certain situations without a way to bypass obstacles or fix bugs. So, how to fix it? Is there a fix available? If these questions linger in your mind, this is just the guide you need.
Kingdom Come Deliverance II (KCD 2) Console Commands Not Working Issue: Is there any fix yet
There’s no single guaranteed fix for this issue, but thankfully, there are several potential workarounds that you can try. Some players have had success with different methods, so it’s worth experimenting with a few solutions to see what works for you.
Enable Dev Mode
The first thing to do is to enable the dev mode, without which you cannot use the cheats. To enable Dev Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, open Steam and find the game in your Library. Right-click on it and select “Properties”. In the “General” tab, locate “Launch Options” and type in “-devmode” (without quotes). Before you restart the game, make sure to give both Steam and KCD2 admin privileges. This should activate developer mode, allowing access to console commands.
Double Check
One workaround is to double-check your Steam launch options and ensure that “-devmode” is entered correctly without any extra spaces or punctuation errors. Another method to test if the console is working properly is to enter “wh_pl_showfirecursor 1″—this should enable a bow cursor, and if a green confirmation line appears, then the console is functioning correctly. If nothing happens, it may indicate an issue with how the console command menu is being accessed or set up.
Press the Tilde button
Make sure you’re actually entering the commands into the in-game console menu and not just typing them elsewhere. To open the console, press the key directly below Escape and to the left of 1 (tilde ~ key). This is standard for most games, but if you’re new to using console commands, it can be a bit confusing at first.
Partial Fix
One player mentioned that typing “_?” in the console seemed to make some commands work, but the fix is only partial. As stated by them, while a few commands started functioning, most of the ones found online still didn’t work consistently. This suggests that the console commands may be unreliable or limited in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Verify and Updates
If console commands still aren’t working in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, try verifying the game files and checking for updates. On Steam, right-click the game in your Library, go to Properties > Installed Files, and select “Verify integrity of game files” to fix any corrupted or missing files. Also, ensure your game is fully updated, as patches may resolve issues with the console commands.
Those are all the workarounds for now to get the console commands working again in Kingdom Come Deliverance II. We do hope that more commands are introduced and that they work consistently without any issues with future patches and updates.
