I can only suggest the given fix or step for Steam users. Since there is a set of rules to follow there, the Steam version of the console is tested and working 100%

  • To enable or use the console using the following command line:
-debug_mode

You need to copy and paste the above code in the Command Line argument of Victoria 3. If you do not know the command line location here it is:

  • Steam Library > Victoria 3 > Right-click and open settings > Properties > general
  • Paste code in the launch options of the game.

Exit the window and start the game again and the console should work for you now.
