In the keyboard controls near the bottom you'll see advanced. And in there you'll see an option to turn on the console. To open the console press ~ (The button left of 1)

1)Start steam
2)Under "My Games" tab, right click obsidian conflict and select "Craete Desktop Shortcut"
3)Go to your desktop and you should see the shortcut
4)Right click "Obsidian conflict beta v1.2" and select properties
5)under "target:" add -console to the end of the line.

Example:
Original:
C:\Programmid\Steam\steam.exe -applaunch 215 -game "c:\programmid\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\obsidian"
To have console:
C:\Programmid\Steam\steam.exe -applaunch 215 -game "c:\programmid\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\obsidian" -console

yeah, its the same for me. If i close console it dosent open. If i enable it from key settings/advanced it dosent work. If i set the -console parameter in steam it dosent work. If i edit a ini file to "console 1" it dosent work. Only way is ye old shortcut to desktop and add settings.

I fixed my nonworking console by binding it to another key in the config.cfg

Indeed, its possible the tilde key is not bound to console for some reason.
