Tutorial hints off in a session, and menus that pause the game
Hints off since 0.9.0; the next release adds a hand-off so enemies don't freeze while someone is in a menu.
Shippedstep 8 of 8
Players asked that tutorial hints not pop up in a session and that menus not freeze things for friends. 0.9.0 turns tutorial hints off during a session (bHideTutorials) and they come back afterward. The next release handles one effect of a menu pausing your game: after five seconds in a menu, the enemies your game runs are handed to a friend nearby so they no longer freeze on the friend's screen. A menu that doesn't pause is tracked separately.
