Tried rebooting the game? Sometimes it's just a glitch. Close it down, and open it up again. Works like a charm more often than you'd think.

Okay, so if your console's not popping up in CS:GO, you might've skipped enabling it. You gotta go to the game settings and look for something like 'Enable Developer Console’ and make sure it's set to 'Yes'. Once that's done, hitting the tilde key (~), usually right below your escape key, should bring it up. If it's still being stubborn, check your keyboard bindings in the settings; sometimes the key to open the console can get changed or unset.

Your console problem? Just make sure it's enabled in settings. Also, check your key binds!

Pro tip: If your console won't open in CS:GO, it could be a sign of a bigger issue. Make sure your game files are all good with a quick verify in the Steam library. Right-click CS:GO > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files. Fixed mine when nothing else worked!
