Hello! Just got the old engine version of hl2 since people told me it’s better for speedrunning the game.  
Anyhow I can’t seem to get the console up in game.  
I’ve tried launch option -console, enable dev console via the keyboard advanced tab in game.  
Change my keyboard language to US english. But still nothing works. Been googling around a bit but none of the guides seem to work for the old engine.

Help with this issue of mine is very appreciated!

Cheers!

You can put something like “bind F10 toggleconsole” in autoexec.cfg and then press that key to bring it up.
