Won't Launch after Command Line Input
I attempted to enable the developer console via Origin but after I input the command line argument the game wouldn't launch. I deleted it for a moment and the game launched without failure. Is there ...

Well, there's your problem, lady. :eahigh_file:
TBH, I don't think there's anything you can do.
But are you running the Mac version? (I don't even know if there is one.) Or are you running Windows under WINE, or CIDER, or Bootcamp, or something?
Because if the former, and presuming you have the exactly correct command line entry,
-enabledeveloperconsole
then it simply isn't working in the Mac version.
If the latter, then there may be some hope.
Unfortunately, it's the former. According to the wiki I could have also accessed the devconsole it via the config file, but there's no such file on my computer. It probably isn't accessible with the Origin direct download. Guess that's what I get for buying a game intended for PC. 😳 Thanks anyway.
@TheWizardofMars; There are mods for most of the things people use the Command Console to accomplish. What are you trying to do?
- I’m actually stuck at a level (Offered & Lost) and wanted to use a mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/3921/) to kill all hostiles, but according to the mod’s description I needed to input a code into the command console in order for it to work.
Ahhh... Are you sure you don't have the config file?
Found this tip on another site:
======
With the Finder active, hold down the option key then click on Go in the menu bar. Any time you have that menu open and you're holding the option (alt) key, you'll see a link to the library.
You could also do a Shift+Apple+G and paste ~/library into the prompt.======
So maybe you're not seeing the file/folder because it's "hidden" by default?
[EDIT1: I have never used a Mac, so I have no idea if the above really applies.]
[EDIT2: And this was me from almost four years ago. You have tried this, right?

From within EA/Origin:
Right-click (or whatever you Applephiles do when told to "right-click") on the game title image in the "My Games" library and choose "Game Properties", then in the start-up parameters box type: " -enabledeveloperconsole " (without the quotation marks, but with the leading dash.)
