    So immediately every time I enter a game of civilization 5, there is a huge transparent gray box on the left side of the screen, with a bunch of text. This makes it extremely difficult to play, and a lot less fun. It starts with "TutorialStepIndex -1" and goes on to list a bunch of crap that I don't need to know, or even want to know. Please, someone help me out here!

    Sounds like you somehow turned debug mode on.

    go to "C:\users\(username)\Documents\MyGames\Sid Meier's Civilization 5"

    and open your config.ini

    find this section and make sure it is set to 0:

    ; Set to 1 to activate the debug panel
    DebugPanel = 0

    Yeah, I've done that. It's still showing the gray box. I reset it to that, then completely deleted CiV, then downloaded it from Steam, then installed it. I've tried rebooting three times as well. I don't know what to do...

    I just fixed it... sorry, folks. All I had to do was delete the entire folder C:\Users\(username)\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5 uninstall, then reinstall.
