I've got this as well, though I can get the tooltips

EDIT: Aelannor1's workaround still works, which suggests to me that it's the exact same issue it's been since 1.1.0. Note however that the "Visualize and edit GUI widgets" interface has changed.

So, I managed to fix it, actually. Did it the following way. I'm on Manjaro with a Nvidia card. Turned off steam overlay but not sure if that helped too.

1. Hit tilde for the console. You can't see it, but mouse around in that area until you can see "Visualize and edit GUI widgets" pop up like you are mousing over the button.
2. Click "Outside parent" and uncheck "Show only Active File"

3. Filter on "gui/console.gui"
4. Pick [flowcontainer] console_window.
5. Pick [textbox] console_output_item
6. Under "Using", change tooltip_type from "widget" to "window."

Mine froze up for a minute but eventually the console popped up.

Hello there!

Thank you for the report, we are aware of this issue and are investigating it internally.

Also, excellent guide on how to circumvent it, @balmung60! That's really helpful!

The workaround doesn't work if you enable saving, I've found. It saves the changes, true, but restarting CK3 doesn't make the console show up, despite the relevant settings (which appear to have changed by 1.3.1 by the way) showing what they should do.

You have to do it each time you start the game. Which is why it's a workaround and not a fix.

The bug seems to be fixed in the 1.3.2 open beta.The console is visible for me on this patch.
