BC won't launch in test mode.

[DJ Curtis]

This is the command line I'm using.  I'd like to get into edit mode to do some screenies, but I can't even get into Test Mode.  Is this the wrong command line?

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Bridge Commander\stbc.exe" -TestMode

[Kirk]

Everything looks right in the command line. It is the right line.

[DJ Curtis]

and to open the console should be the "`" (tilde) key, right?  Would the fact that I'm using Vista affect it?

[Kirk]

Yes, that is the correct key.

And nope, because I too use Vista, and it works fine for me.

What keyboard layout are you using?


It's possible it's a multiply key (you ought to have 2 of them).
This is the case for non US, non UK, keyboards, and considering Cananda uses part English, part French, I don't see it beyond the posibility that you are using a French keyboard.

[DJ Curtis]

I have it set to US English layout, and still nothing.  In fact, when I run in TestMode, the game crashes if I try to enter QB mode.  Also, the console does not appear in the main menu.  It should, shouldn't it?

[MLeo]

You should be able to open it.


Have you tried deleting your keybindings?
Via deleting scripts/KeyboardBinding.py(c)


You aren't the only one to suddenly(?) get this problem.

[DJ Curtis]

Yeah, I did delete the keybindings, as I'd ran a search for this problem prior to posting, and noticed you mentioned that to someone else.  Sorry, I should have mentioned that earlier.

found the answer in this thread.  used the options menu to rebind the console key.

Lol, I had the same problem. I just remapped the key to "]" and it works fine.
