[SOLVED] Logitech G15 and Oblivion

[InvaderZim]

Well, I have a Windows Vista computer, with Oblivion installed, and I recently bought a Logitech G15 keyboard. When I am playing Oblivion and I try to open the console "`" key, it doesn't do anything at all. I installed all the G15 software, but I still get nothing.

[pharoah]

thats called a tilde key just so you know.now before you changed the keyboard did you have any problems opening the console?

[InvaderZim]

Nope, everything worked fine.

[pharoah]

i would uninstall the software for it.unplug the keyboard from the computer.plug it back in and try it after a restart.

[InvaderZim]

I tried, but it didn't work. I think I should try playing Morrowind or something and try to open the console, I will confirm if it works in this same post later.

EDIT: The Morrowind console does not work.

[InvaderZim]

Sorry about the double post, But I wanna keep this topic alive, and tell you guys something. I was playing Oblivion, and I desperately needed the console, I tried unplugging my new keyboard, and putting my old one in. The console still didn't work! So I don't know what is the problem now, the computer or the keyboard?

PS: I beat the part that I needed cheats on without them

[pharoah]

lmao no cheats oh nooose look in your oblivion ini file in my documents,my games oblvion.it will be listed as oblivion configuration settings.look for this


bAllowConsole=1 - This setting allows you to use the in-game console (See Console Commands section) if set to 1. There is no reason to set it to 0.

be sure the bAllowConsole= is set at 1

[InvaderZim]

Yeah, allowconsole is on. Another thing I am amazed at is that I beat the game. Without cheats. This is my second time beating the game, but before I used nothing but cheats.

[pharoah]

it was probably more fun without them wasnt it

that is strange about the tilde key not working.only other suggestion i have is maybe a reinstall.

[InvaderZim]

I just noticed something strange, Oblivion and Morrowind console doesn't open, But my Halo Custom Edition and Halo does. Oblivion and Morrowind are both made by Bethseda softworks, so does Bethseda have problems with this keyboard or something? And I another theory I think might be the problem is that with the new keyboard, the tidle key got remapped to something else. Eh?

I doubt it. I'm using a G11 keyboard, and the console works for me in both Morrowind and Oblivion. However, I have heard of the console becoming unusable - I just can't remember what the solution was. pharoah's suggestion of a reinstall may be the way to go.

PS - With the Elder Scrolls games, levelling up your character and skills almost always negates the "need" for cheats.

[InvaderZim]

Ima little confused here, reinstall the software for the keyboard? There is no other software other than that. And plus, the software for the keyboard just lets you make hotkeys. And yes...sometimes I need cheats, but hes freakin' level 4 T_T. Maybe just a "boost".

[pharoah]

actually i was talking about reinstalling the game.i know you had already tried reinstalling the keyboard.

[InvaderZim]

Well, one time, my Oblivion update messed my textures, so I HAD to reinstall, but at that time, I didn't have the keyboard, but It was only a couple of days before I bought it, so do I really have to reinstall again?

I know - as I said, I have a G11 keyboard myself. I was referring to pharoah's suggestion of reinstalling the game. If you are worried about losing savegames, they can be backed up before you reinstall (just copy them from "C:\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves\").

Did you update again immediately after reinstalling, the time when it messed up the textures?

[InvaderZim]

Well, after I reinstalled, I sorta just screwed the update, because I thought it wouldn't work again...

EDIT: And when I reinstalled, I didn't put my old savegame back in, I put the whole old Oblivion folder from my games back in. Might that be causing the problem?
