Enable in-game console
I was testing out some renderer commands in the console looking for a way to remove teamkill indicators. I set the command "renderer.drawConsole 0", and it was a mistake that it doesn't open my console anymore. I tried to find some solutions online but no luck. Is there a way to enable the console again?

nope, you have to restart the game if you do this.
As for hiding teamkill messages, there is no option to do this.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that. Even restarting the PR seems to not return the console. I'm considering to reinstall the game itself.

restarting the game restores console for me. Did you add the renderer command in any file?

Re: Enable in-game console
I was on assumption that restarting the game at first will revert the setting back so at first try, I tried to restart the PR after I put the drawConsole 0 but then it didn't work. After that I modified some .con files (specifically the .con files with renderer object) to see if its still working. Still no luck so I restored the .con files to its previous state. Even changing accounts didn't work. Is reinstalling the PR gonna revert the setting back or are there other ways to at least fix the drawConsole back to 1 again?

Re: Enable in-game console
Im already suspecting that it might be from the installations from bf2 and some external installations (map building) that affects the entire PR directory so ill just do a reinstallation. Thank you Devs for helping me!

Reinstallation fixes the issue. Thanks again!
