Day of defeat source has a crosshair @ 3840*1024

urban1 · Post by **urban1** » 01 Jul 2006, 12:02

Just downloaded Day of defeat source, its recently been patched
and i can confirm the crosshair works at 3840*1024 pretty cool

so hopefully crosshair will be coming to hl2 and css with next patches

now i just gotta get my skills up on it :)

also im just using a single 7800gt 512mb and i get about 60fps
at 3840*1024 with pretty much everything maxxed in lost coast stress test
although i prolly will be trying to go sli at some time in the future

Huh, since when didn't these games support crosshairs. :? :shock:

Its a known issue with source engine games, crosshair dosnt work in hl2
and counter strike source when using triple head resolutions using the triple head 2 go

dod source has just been patched and now the crosshair works, bodes well for other source games

really? I thought DOD:S didn't want it to make it more realistic.

Hmm this forum feels a bit hostile :cry:
anyway heres a pic

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 01 Jul 2006, 19:32

Hostile? I was just a bit confused that a shooter didn't support crosshairs.
Anyway, cool screenshot that. I'm every time stunned by how triple head looks. :D

Yeah ... cool screenshot ... great news about the crosshair ... 8)

Hey urban - welcome to the forums. :D

That is indeed a cool looking screenshot. Ok, i'll totally admit that I have no idea what surround gaming is about, or what the triplehead2g0 is....this section of the forum seems to have sprung up while I was away.

Could someone point me to some informational links so I can get up to speed with all the basics? Thx!

The problem is that there is a bug in some Source engine games where the crosshair is not visible in triplehaed resolutions.

Awesome, simply awesome. In the past i've always lavished praise on Matrox for being a desperately needed 3rd party competitor in the video card world. Their workstation cards have always been solid performers. In the gaming market they have always seemed to produce brilliant, outstanding products that end up languishing in glorious high-end obscurity, and although I have no doubt that will happen to the triplehead, I absolutely love the innovation.

Playing DoD in this kind of environment must be awe inspiring. Hey Urban - can you give us some of your impressions? Highs, lows, any unexpected things that might have come up?

urban1 · Post by **urban1** » 07 Jul 2006, 13:27

Its brilliant, maybe a little overwhelming at first, but once you get used to gaming like it, i dont think i could go back

JKeefe · Post by **JKeefe** » 07 Jul 2006, 14:39

Go back? From triplehead? Never. :)

Just as you could never go back from widescreen to 4:3 ... only three times over ... :wink: ... :D :lol:

is there a hack or fix to get the crosshair in counter-strike?

Tucson · Post by **Tucson** » 12 Aug 2006, 23:56

Yes, there is hack that adds crosshair support to CSS and HL2.

It's very technical but I'll try to keep it simple if you want to hear more. It involves scotch-tape and a magic marker. PM me for more details.
