Would you know where the binds. txt file would be in the file directory? I can't seem to find it in Valheim's local files nor in the steam userdata for Valheim.

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME HERE\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

Just a quick maybe but check make sure you didn't hit a function button that switches ur F keys to other functions, that happened to me once on a diff keyboard diff game.

I will check my files. I have a normal size keyboard and it doesnt have a function key that will change the function keys.

I have an amd graphics card, and I did not change the monitor or video card since playing the game. Also, its set to 1920 x 1080 in the resolution as well and that is what it was when I played before as well.

I will try to look at the binds.txt because that could help and maybe I can change the console bind to see if that works as well.

Even uninstalling and reinstalling did nothing, I don't understand why I can't open the console.

hunh ; the only other thing I can think of is that there is no <space> before '-console'
(or maybe there is a space; either/or)

uninstalling sure should fix it but maybe you should check the directory and make sure
there isn't some file left from a mod?

your saves should be safe in their appdata directory but maybe you should make
a copy to be sure

at least it's a small download compared with some other games...

I haven't ever installed any mods, there also isn't any space before -console, but I can try it with a space before ( -console) and with a space between just in case (- console).

Neither of the spelling changes did anything either. I am at a loss here unfortunately...

? well It works normally in my game (yay) (no space btw)
there's a file in the appdata directory 'binds. txt' for custom keybinds..
is there anything in there? perhaps delete it?

at a loss too...sorry at least you know it should work

on an EU keyboard its F5 for the console
maybe also check if your shortcut has the "-console" added to the commandline

I've seen a few people report this but, sadly, no solutions. When they try it on another computer it works fine.

This may be a total boondoggle ... but may be a workaround for you ...

I recently read that you can enter the commands/cheats into the chat window without opening the console by prefacing them with "/" such as:
/devcommands
/ghost
/spawn wood 200

I haven't actually tested it so I don't know if it will work, or maybe it won't work anyway because of the F5 issue you're having, but might be worth a try next time you're in there.

I haz crazy idea. Did you change your monitor or video card since you played?
I had to resize my desktop with an Nvidia card because things weren't quite displaying
properly in some game.
What I'm suggesting is that the console is actually open but slightly below
the edge of the screen.

still is a thing in the new update. maybe your keybind to open the console changed? / is wrong?

How would I check to even see if its changed, I simply can not open the console.

Strange, I can confirm it does work cus I just used it last night for the first time. Maybe try verifying files through Steam. Hopefully that'll fix it.

I am currently verifying my files

Verifying them did nothing, I will try uninstalling and reinstalling I guess.

you know the command is now 'devcommands' NOT 'imacheater' ?,

Yeah, my problem is I can't even open the console with any key. I have tried the whole keyboard and nothing opens it.
