| Post subject: | Temporary Portal 2 Crosshair Fix for Surround |
I had an idea of using a crosshair overlay to make up for the lack of in game crosshair when the game is in surround. Never looked for a program like this but it seems lots of them do exist. One issue I read about was competitive games consitering this a cheat so using dedicated programs is maybe not a great idea. I did find this though - http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic62373.html I am using the script on the last post, as a AHK script this is not going to be detected as a cheat program. It has 2 small issues. 1.) Unlike what I wanted (use your own .png or .gif image) this just uses 2 intersecting lines that are long so it can be a bit more than what you want to see on scree. 2.) Game must be in windowed mode About #2 - Portal 2 has a run game windowed with no border option! have not really seen this before on a game, normally you have to use yet an other 3rd party program to force a "full screen window" but with Portal 2 just enable windowed mode no border for your native resolution and this works fine. If you want to play in eyefinity/surround and need a crosshair this work around may help you for now. I will give it a try in co-op later. |

Tested and works fine, one thing I did was enable and lock my crosshairs before I started the game so that I could use a simple image to make sure I had them centered. Have not tested these yet, but some of these sound nicer than what I posted above, can use your own .gif image on a few of them. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/77003-creating-a-crosshair-or-dot-in-the-middle-of-the-screen/ |

Using the AHK script murders FPS on mine. Played 3/4 the game without the crosshair so fair, its not a shooter so it really doesnt matter. Remember you can zoom in too. |

I did not like the AHK script toomuch, I have now managed to complete the game without a crosshair without toomuch issue, to be honest, I never really noticed it was missing untill it was mentioned here. |

Yep, just completed it, Crosshair would have made some little sections slightly easier, but its not like you have an "ammo" counter anyhow! |

I had an idea of using a crosshair overlay to make up for the lack of in game crosshair when the game is in surround. It's about as much of a "cheat" as Xfire overlay or Raptr overlay, if done properly. I am assuming you are talking about the in-game cheat detection engines and not the competitive leagues banning such a tool? |

I still just use a small bit of post-it with a crosshair drawn on it when needed, fire off a shot and note the center of screen, put your tiny bit of post-it in place. Talk about going old-school :) |

Id never put anything on my U2410's id have to commit seppuku for it. Plus I sort of refuse to do something like that when a streamline software solution should be so easy to do. |
