How to hide or disable objective prompt and notifications without mods and turning HUD off ?

Year 2024. Old question :
How to hide or disable objective prompt and notifications without mods and turning HUD off ?

[Dirak2012]

You can't.

just use a mod.

No, but I fail to see how it bothers so many people. It is a small notification in the lower right, which I barely read. It takes 1/2 seconds to change to a different one. And, if the rotation of 2 to 3 comments distracts anyone, the system info option fixes that.

It is NOT "a small notification"

Not everyone is as unobservant as you claim to be. Something pops in my field of vision, I'm looking at it.

Not to mention there's an accompanying 'UI squeak' sound effect...

Without a mod, as others have said, there is no way to remove it, no.

The best you can do is change the HUD scale to 50% (smallest allowed) under Accessibility options menu. (EDIT) changing this setting does not make chr/ship inventory etc. smaller, only the overlay bits like health/elemental effect bars/msgs and the like).

I am not entirely sure how "small" that makes the messages if you're playing at 1080p or lower vs, how much difference it "feels" when I run at 4k with UI at 50%, (on a 55" TV, I can barely read it from 3 feet away) but it would at least be a fair bit smaller.

And yeah, even when it's pretty small, as on my screen, the fact it "pops" up to cycle between multiple quest reminders is what catches the eye. eg, it's not a constant static, it "moves," and they are not all the same width/height either.

Plus I think at some resolutions if UI is 100%, it can cover some ship's console info UI, depending on ship.

Not important I guess but for anyone curious/hasn't used that setting, at 4k for me it's like this:

UI scale at 100%

UI at 50% (wider messages can cover a bit more but still doesn't typically get in my way)

Edit: that said, it also means certain overlay UI text (like scanning perhaps, and the weapon aim dot) may be pretty small. On a big screen I don't find this very problematic even with my old-fart bifocal squint vision but some might find it too small. Could try 75% instead.

There may now be a solution. From Omega patch notes: "Players can now cycle through the available hints and leave no hint on display, temporarily hiding them"

How? I didn't find such an option.

[armavir99]

Found "Cycle active mission tips and other information with [image of controller joystick]"

But:
1. I don't want to "Cycle". I want to completely disable these messages.
2. I use a keyboard and mouse. I don't like the controller.

[Crassenmusen]

You can press H on the keyboard to cycle through the prompts. Cycle through them all to finally close the objectives HUD element. If its completely disabled, I don't know.

Also, it seems to be somewhat mislabeled under the input options, as it's labeled as "Show HUD"

No. After some time, the prompts will appear again.

I use the "hide" option from this mod.
