Pro Tips

• You can make the console partially transparent in game settings
• Use the up arrow key to recall previous commands
• Type "clear" to reset the console window

Remember, once you've enabled the console, it will stay enabled until you manually disable it. The settings are saved to your Steam Cloud, so they'll persist even if you reinstall the game.

Now you can use the console for various commands, changing game settings, or troubleshooting issues during gameplay.
