What is crosshairx?

CrosshairX is a Windows program that overlays a custom crosshair on top of first person shooter games such as Valorant, CS2, CS:GO, and Apex Legends. It runs as its own application rather than modifying the game, drawing a crosshair on your screen that you can adjust for color, size, opacity, outline, and recoil pattern to fit your preference. To get started, you download a zip file from the project's releases page, extract it, and run CrosshairX.exe as Administrator. The setup guide walks you through customizing the crosshair's look and enabling the overlay before you launch your game. The tool is built specifically for Windows 11. The README includes a troubleshooting table covering common problems: the app failing to start (try running as Administrator and temporarily disabling antivirus), the crosshair not appearing (enable the overlay and try compatibility mode), conflicts with a game's fullscreen mode, performance drops from a complex crosshair design, and driver or Windows update issues. The README carries an important warning: this project is meant for educational and personal use only. Overlay tools like this one can be detected by some games' anti-cheat systems as suspicious, and using it carries a real risk of an account penalty or ban. The authors say plainly that they are not responsible for any consequences a player might face from using it, so this is not something to install casually before checking a specific game's rules. The README does not describe the underlying code, how the project is built, or how to contribute to it. It reads entirely as an end-user installation and troubleshooting guide, not a developer reference. The project is released under the MIT license.
