Text overlay stopping game from being accessed?

[HotPursuit]

Hi,

 

I have a problem I haven't experienced before and need some help.

 

Since updating to the latest patch, whenever I spawn in to the game I have 'text' overlaying the game (like a command prompt or chat). See attached image. I'm referring to the white text on the bottom of the screen.

This happens off-line and online when spawning in.

 

This text is the only active part of the screen ie. I can type commands such as 'fps START SHOW' and it works but the game itself can't be accessed. The plane is flying along out of control but no inputs or keyboard commands work for in game control.

 

It is possible to alt+tab out of the game. Esc key doesn't work.

 

How can I get rid of this text or at least toggle between it and the game itself?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is the 'console window'

I think if you hit 'Shift-Tab' it will close.

(Shift-Tab toggles it open/lose by default)

And the "console window" toggle command can be set in controls options (category : game)

Thank you both for your help.

It was the ingame console I had inadvertently turned on. 
I appreciate you taking the screenshot, it helped a lot ?
