1. Open Steam then game library
   
2. Right-click Valheim, then choose "Properties"

 

  3. Ensure you're on the General tab and scroll down to "Launch Options." Type "-console" without spaces, remembering to include the hyphen before "console." Failure to do so will render the command ineffective
