Hi @AngelDream2007 

I'm merging your posts. It doesn't seem to be a general bug as it works fine for me, so it's best to keep it in tech, especially as you already opened a thread here.

Do you have any programs running in the back ? Did you try without mods installed ?

    Hello,

    The cheat bar won't pull up for me either, in any mode (windowed, windowed full screen or full screen), since I just updated.

    I re-started the game, ran it as an administrator, tried repairing the game.

    I do not have any background programs running that would have affected the cheat bar - and the update is the only thing that has changed on my computer.

    All mods are disabled, and my base game and expansions are still not allowing for the cheat bar.

    Any help would be great.

        How big do you have your window when in windowed ?

        I've tried multiple scenarios and it always works for me. Are you sure the window is active when you try the key-combination ?

        What kind of PC do you have ? Brand ? Laptop/Desktop ?
