Disable pop-up hints

counter-strike-global-offensive

Every time i start the game and join a server i get these annoying pop-up hints that won't leave until i have done what they want me to do, (zoom in with a scope, press 'e' to look at the gun).
So right now what i do is join a random server, do all the common things they tell me to and then join a proper competition server to play.
Is there a command line i can add to my configuration file to get rid of them ?

Go to the options in CounterStrike : GO and disable the Game Instructor Messages as seen in this screenshot:

Game Instructor Screenshot

This should stop the game from annoying you in the future.

Another method would be to open config.cfg in your CS GO Folder (after you removed the mentioned read-only flag) with a text editor of your choice, such as Notepad++. You can find the file in X:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg (X being the hard drive you installed it on). Then find the line where it says gameinstructor_enable and set it to 0 or, if it is not there, add gameinstructor_enable=0 at the bottom of the file. That should do the trick.
