Stopping the flashing help boxes

You would have thought these would go away after the tutorial or at least after the first one or two times.

But nooooo... they are there constantly every time I load a saved game

Now I can understand the one for your current 'task' but how to move the camera? Cmon I figured that out in about 10 seconds.

It is kind of annoying, I looked around for an option to turn these off but dident see any.

Yes, irritates the hell out of me too. I just can't ignore them and feel compelled to open them up and close them with 'X' every time.

If this isn't fixed in the next patch, given what a simple matter it is, I might lose my sanity

I saw an entry in one of the .cfg files stating something like "tutorial_completed=1", so the game only needs to check that value. Well, unless that line is a leftover from SH3 or 4...

On a related note, I would like the option of also being able to close my current objective(s), so that slightly ugly yellow exclamation mark isn't permanently at the top of my screen. I can always open the Captain's Log to view it/them again... I really don't need a constant reminder of my current task. It's not like it tends to change that often.

I solved all the problems. I uninstalled SH5.

RPG games just aren't my cup of tea.

It's now on the shelve collecting dust.

Not quite the one I wanted. But it's just unplayable for me.

Annoying the heck out of me, too. Don't like tooltips explaining the most basic things in the first place, but when they spam you, Modern Warfare-style, they're just unbearable.

On the beginning of the mission: The blinking strobes are friendlies!
Thirty seconds later, when firing within a mile of friendly infantry: Watch for the flashing strobes! Those are our guys!
One minute later: Do you see the flashing strobes? That means you're watching friendlies!
Two minutes later: Crew, do not fire on the flashing strobes. I repeat, do not fire on the flashing strobes. Those are friendlies.

Or in this case (along with picture of mouse):
Left mouse button does this
Left mouse button does this
Left mouse button does this

Aaaaargh!

/me goes over to Mods workshop to download JSGME and look for mods to fix this and other problems.
