Can't see crosshair well on dust2?

[Gib_Mongrel]

I had trouble seeing my crosshair in dust2(bright map). So I did a little test, went to options, crosshair options, checked Translucent, went and pointed gun up at the sun(in dust2) and I could not see the crosshair at all. Then I unchecked Translucent(which means transparent or alpha) and pointed at the sun and still could not see the crosshair, argh.

Went to console, typed cvarlist cl_crosshair, crosshair variables came up. Then I noticed that the cl_crosshairalpha was at 200, and if you know anything about graphics, alpha 255 is solid, not transparent.

I checked Translucent at crosshair options, set cl_crosshairalpha 255 at console, then did the sun test, walla I can see my crosshair while pointing up at the sun in dust2.
CROSSHAIR PROB SOLVED

why would you ever need to point at the sun on d2 anyway? !chair

 

[Angelspit]

Now you can shoot the sun!

Staring at the sun can make you blind in real life, even though it's on CS:S. Same brightness as a flashbang. lol :O

 

[Gib_Mongrel]

The map gamma should not effect crosshair at all. Lets say you point to to a guy on a wall where it is brighter, you could loose sight of your crosshair for a fraction of a second, then bam your shot

 

[[O?]]

yeah happens all the time...espcially looking down from short a at long a.....i always lose sight of my crosshair and have to guess where the bullets will go...im going to do ur test gib...thanks alot for the info

Meh i never lose my crosshair... Green Non translucent... Problem fixed

 

[Daimek]

hmm, i haven't had any problems with it....then again i hardly ever play dust2; thanks for the solution tho.

 

[Gib_Mongrel]

Yea, it might be a ATI Catalyst driver problem, I dunno?

You don't lose your crosshair unless you use cl_crosshairscale 3500+ which I use Thanks man for the tip man!

 

[[O?]]

You shouldn't be looking for your crosshair, you should be looking at their head.

 

[Sebulba]

Ive had the same problem but I just thought it was normal for dust 2. thanks for the fix, Ill be sure to try it

 

[blackhawksniper]

I found that cl_crosshairscale 100 works pretty well too

 

[[O?]]

lol...anyone know the limit for the crosshair....i just always put it at 50000 but anyways....GIB, your my hero now because i see my crosshair perfect no matter where i point it on my screen

o yeah...thanks insurge
