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.

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.



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.

If anyone is wondering, Valve just released an update and has officially fixed the crosshair on ultra wide resolutions.

Hooray for Valve! :bowdown

Too bad not all developers are so eyefinity/surround friendly.

Well, I didn't finish the Co-Op. Might be that I throw it on again at some time with a good friend. The fixed version comes in handy.

The DLC is fiendish, enjoying it quite a bit, sadly no crosshair on eyefinity.

Hmm, pretty sure I had a crosshair when I played in Eyefinity - I held off buying until it was fixed - don't tell me they went and broke it again? Will have to check when I get home (and try the DLC!)

I played through the entire game with the crosshair the first time through, only noticing its' absence about half way through... only really need it at a couple spots.

Oh wait, Portal was a missing Cross hair not a Giant one... never mind I'm complaining about the wrong bug.. carry on :)

The new DLC update introduced a regression which broke the crosshairs again. Time to wait for another fix. Atleast the crosshairs aren't very important for Portal 2.

Edit: Patch released today fixes the crosshair.

Anyone know why my crosshairs still aren't visible? I verified the cache and it downloaded two files but the crosshair still doesn't show.

My crosshairs are gone too (eyefinity surround). Any word on why?

There was supposed to be a patch to fix this?

Not fixed for me either. I wanted to finish up co-op finally now that I had a partner who hadn't beaten it and well... Yet again, no fix. If anyone has figured out a way to fix it, I'm game.
