I recently updated my game. The control buttons now appear on my screen. I've tried everything to get them off. For example, where it should say "show controls legend", there isn't an option. Please help!

This is happening to me as well on PC, ever since the most recent update. Everything I've seen online says that there's a button in the "Other" section of the game settings, but there isn't something for that there for me.

I had the same issue when I logged in today, but I think I found the solution posted by another member. I attached the screenshot and instructions, but please let me know if this isn't the solution for you.
"Apparently the update triggered a help centre default. So go to Game Options--then Tutorial & Tips--then uncheck the Enable Help Center Icon & Controls Legend box--then Apply Changes." - a18c68d9fd664f1e2 months agoNew Spectator
I have the same issue after doing an update today 5/27. I can't figure out how to remove the control info from the screen either. I hope someone can help.

I think I figured it out! I was having the same problems. I went to the menu, game options, tutorial and tips and I unselected everything under the tutorial section and it’s gone. Just select apply changes. Hope this helps

I am having the same problem, with the control buttons appearing on screen. Tried everything, but also cannot get it to disappear. It's really distracting.
