FAQ
How do I enable achievements?
Achievements are enabled automatically, there is no need to manually edit configuration files to achieve this!
(In particular, the "EnableAchievements" config variable defaults to true; setting it in ScriptExtenderSettings.json does nothing)
How do I open the console?
Press Ctrl+F12 while the game window is in focus.
If you want to permanently enable the console, change the "CreateConsole" variable to true in ScriptExtenderSettings.json)
Script Extender isn't updating to the latest version
Script Extender versions always target a specific game build; an SE version built for Patch 8 won't work with Patch 7 (and vice versa).
If your SE is stuck at an old version, you probably have an old BG3 that doesn't support newer Script Extenders.
Do I need to use the Vulkan or DX11 version of the game?
Script Extender works with both versions. If you're using SE-based UI mods that don't work, you can try switching between Vulkan/DX11 to see if it resolves the issue.
