TURN OFF COMMENTARY?!

[Nekotaku]

WHY is there no option to turn off the commentary icons?! It seems I chose it on accident, or I didn't wanna miss out on it yet I assumed you could turn it off. Why would Valve not include such an option!? And why has nobody come forth with a mod that will help people like me turn it off? It's amazing, annoying to see them around the place.

what do you mean with commentary icons ? Hints ?

If yes (10 seconds using google) , open your Launchoptions and add following :
+sv_gameinstructor_disable 1

No I mean the developer commentary headphones that you can pick up and listen to...

There IS an on/off switch in the game mode settings main menu.

This is only at the start and you can't get to it after you started a game... Why are you linking this article? It doesn't say anything about turning it off.

Why are you freaking out as if it's not your own fault? You would have noticed them at the beginning of the game where you could just start a new game without them.

What? I’m not. I’m saying it’s really bad design to not have an option to turn it off... It makes no damn sense. And I’m frustrated. It didn’t say they can’t be turned off later either.

I don’t even remember if they were there to begin with. I didn’t know what was going on. Just thought I couldn’t find it and couldn’t stop playing this amazing game for hours and then didn’t wanna lose all that.

It looks like the easiest way to do this is to start a new game. You can restart the most recent chapter. Luckily the game is good enough it's worth playing again :-)

What do you mean restart the most recent chapter? You mean that you can restart and lose everything but start from the most recent chapter? I wouldn't want that but thanks.

When you start a game using chapter select it will give you some amount of resin so you don't have to start from scratch in the middle of the story.
