======== FAQ ======== "After I place the ini file at its positon, the game still wont launch with error!"
You need to uninstall the outdated debug console. Delete these two files: "plugins" folder and "dssound.dll" file from "The Witcher 3 Main Folder > bin > x64".
"I did all the instructions but after i replaced the general.ini i get nothing in-game - the console doesn't appear."
If you opened the debug console with F2 until now, the keys have changed now: US/UK: § or ` DE/AT: ö FR: ù IT: ò ES: ñ DK: æ
"Does this mod let me use free cam or is it debug console only?"
its possible to get the comand line without any mod too , even at V4
add one text line to 2 files : DBGConsoleOn=true
first at bottom of general.ini file (.......The witcher 3/bin/config/base ) should look like that afterwards : [General] ConfigVersion=5 ***(or what version you have-is prefilled anyway)*** DBGConsoleOn=true
then go to your documents folder / the witcher 3 open the user.settings file and search for [General] to paste the same line as before at end of it = again under ConfigVersion=..... DBGConsoleOn=true so that 3 rows should be same as in file before , but with a lot other stuff above and down under.
In game you have then to try which key open the console at your language keyboard. At DE it is the ö in FR it is the ü with a (line instead two points)
Thanks mate, changing the file in the documents folder was the thing that prevented me from opening the console. I wonder why nobody talks about that important step....

For anyone having issues with the console opening BUT the commands not working read this... (I've posted this elsewhere but I'm hoping the re-post helps reach more people having the same problem)
TLDR: Codes/commands are case sensitive and have to be typed in EXACTLY as directed. The CapsLock button WILL NOT work in the console, you HAVE to use the Shift key to capitalize letters.

**Running Steam GOTY v1.32**
So at first I didn't notice any 'problems' with the console because I was mainly just using the enabler mod (Freecam and Debug Console for 1.32 Patch) for the FreeCam and to spawn characters (such as Yennefer or Triss) to test appearance mods. It wasn't until I tried an additem command that I had any issues with not getting the expected results. Since this was my first time ever using the debug console I did some research and found a cheat sheet of codes and the tips that they are case sensitive and need to be EXACT. "Awesome I can do that!" Only when I tried I couldn't because I could't get my letters to capitalize. The CapsLock button just would not toggle between the cases. On/Off didn't matter, it was always 'stuck' in lowercase. I tried EVERYTHING that came to mind for troubleshooting (checked tons of comments sections/bug reports, googling, re-reading tons of mod descriptions looking for conflict warnings, disabling ALL of my mods) NOTHING fixed it! I came across plenty of people having the same/similar issues and LOTS of "this mod doesn't work" comments on various mods that either enabled or required console commands but NO fixes. I was super freaking frustrated but determined to fix it so I eventually uninstalled/reinstalled my game and followed these directions on a completely vanilla game:
(https://wghost81.wordpress.com/2017/10/04/basic-guide-to-installing-the-witcher-3-mods/) Open your [My Documents]\The Witcher 3\user.settings file and insert this text at the beginning: [General] DBGConsoleOn=true Save the file and run the game - you will now be able to access the console with the ~ (tilde) key.
STILL NO LUCK!! (To be clear the console worked fine in terms of doing any commands that did not require a capitol letter but something likeadditem('Horse Saddle 4')would not do anything because the H & S were always being typed in lower case.) It was suggested that I just Ctrl C / Ctrl V (from an out of game document into the in-game opened console) and that worked but it felt like a band-aid fix and I still wanted to get to the source of the problem.
It wasn't until someone else suggested I look to see if I had my shift key set as a hotkey to something thus interfering and making the case 'stuck' that I realized that I hadn't tried using the Lshift at all (simply by my default thinking I relied on the CapsLock to work as expected). So I tried it out and it WORKED!! I've slowly been adding mods back in and testing the console every time and so far haven't had any issues. I've now got the Tweaks mod (yes it has the console enable option but no freecam), Friendly Hud, and the Freecam and Debug Console mod (I don't know of another way to have freecam) working together.
After I got it "fixed" I made an inquiry as to whether or not it was 'common' knowledge that CapsLock doesn't work and that you have to use the shift key in order to use upper case letters? I mean is that why no one says "Hey, this is what you're doing wrong..." because they assume that someone had already tried using the shift key? Now some of you might be like "duh, of course!" but I am 100% confident that there are others like me who practically never use the Shift key in everyday typing and were trained to use the CapsLock button by default. It may not even occur to those of us who fall into that category to use the Shift key as a needed alternative. I guess it's just a matter of the way someone learned to type and the patterns they use everyday.
Once I knew what I was looking for I searched the issue on Google again, this time with specific wording, and still came up with lots of people having the same problem but only ONE person deep within a Nexus thread stated that the CapsLock button won't work. So I'm spreading (lengthy) awareness to hopefully save someone else the headache by making the information easier to find.
A take away from this is to never assume someone is doing something, even if its 'basic', the same way you do. Consider offering details you might think of as 'obvious' when someone is asking for help. You never know how far along someone is in a learning process and your questions/answers might make all the difference.
