    Just bind the key to something else in your config.cfg already.

    bind \ toggleconsole

    That should set it to the upper left key.
    Then put -toconsole in teh launch options and it should be guaranteed to be enabled.

    If other people have the problem, just try one key at a time.
    I've been binding keys all day untill i found one that worked ==> F12

    So as far as i know this is the only way that works for me: add
    bind "F12" "toggleconsole"
    to the config.cfg file.

    All the other F keys didn't work, none of the 26 letters worked, and i tried at least a third from all other keys without any success.
    The "F12" key is also one of the few that don't get overwritten or deleted when i start up empires. All the other binds magically disappeared from the file.

    But at least for me the problem is solved!

    I added -console to both HL²DM and SDK base launch options and it seems to work fine... so try this and tell if it helps :)

    Dude i love you! :D
    Adding -console to the source sdk base launch option actually worked!
    It's pretty strange i didn't think of it myself. I suppose after using it for every source game i got used to the idea of adding it the game itself.

    I have it bound to that key too because of console closing when I type a char in it (if using ~ as toggleconsole bind thingie) :D
    Anyway I have the choice of
    1. standard bind and having to type a first then backspace then whatever I want or....
    2. bind it to F12 :D

    pretty easy choice for me

    Anyhow I'm glad it works now Silk :D

    great, so we need the sdk base just to be able to have a working console?

    Yay steam, may it burn in a very special hell for all eternity

    You should have the sdk base to play anyway...

    You need the Source SDK Base to run 1.08. Period. Source SDK Base uses a newer engine that HL2DM
