This guide will show you how to easily enable the developer’s console in The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition.
How to Enable Developer’s Console
Spacer’s Choice seems to have made some changes to how you can access their developer console. It used to be available in the game, but now it seems like they’ve made it harder to find. However, the console is still there, just hidden.
When it comes to tinkering with things behind the scenes, it’s important to know that standard Unreal Engine options can’t be completely removed. They can only be concealed from view. This means that with the right tools, you can reveal them again, including the console.
To unhide the console, you’ll need a tool called the Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker. You can find it on this website: Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker.
Make sure to get the latest version of the Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker that’s compatible with UE4. The instructions provided on the website are pretty clear, but to summarize:
- Unzip the files to a location of your choice.
- Launch Outer Worlds Spacer’s Choice.
- When you’re at the main screen of Spacer’s Choice, use alt+tab to switch to your Windows desktop.
- Run UuuClient.exe from the files you just unzipped.
- Click “select” and choose the Outer Worlds process, also known as Indiana.
- Click “Inject DLL.”
- Return to Outer Worlds and press the tilde (~) key to test. If the console appears at the bottom, you’re all set for any modifications you have in mind.
If you encounter any issues, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
Troubleshooting 1: If pressing the ~ key doesn’t do anything, attempt changing the console key in the “Configuration” of UuuClient.exe.
Troubleshooting 2: For keyboards like Azerty and others, you might need to choose a different key. You can manually create a new one by following these steps:
- Navigate to C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Indiana\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
- Open the “Input.ini” file in Notepad.
- Add the provided text (be careful to keep the empty line at the top of the file intact) and then save it.
[/script/engine.inputsettings] ConsoleKey=o
I picked the letter “o,” but you can select any key that isn’t currently in use in the game. After making your choice, restart the game and follow the steps mentioned earlier, and now it should work as expected.
