Crosshairs Problem

Salraine_Chi

Since downloading 202 I do not have any cross hairs at all for either Marines or Aliens. I was using Wilsons simple dot hairs for 201 and thought maybe they were not compatible but deleting those and validating the files and getting the defaults through that has not helped.

Any ideas before I re-download the whole game?

Try to restore a old version of the folder the crosshairs are in.
Delete and backup the whole folder they are in and delete the clientregistry.blobb.
Check integriti again.

I did what you suggested thanks but still no cross hairs. I uninstalled NS2 completely and reinstalled it and still no cross hairs at all. The two cross hair files are there but nothing in game so I'm a bit baffled why this has happened as no one else is reporting this happening to them.

Any ideas?

Ok that is really odd! If no one know another solution I would ask max:

The crosshairs do not appear until the game has started.

If you're trying it in a server by yourself (with the "Create game" options), open the console and type "cheats 1" for the game to start.

I just installed the game again after trying various advice. Its fine now but its strange that after 280 hours of NS2 this would happen now for no apparent reason.

Lock/delete plz.

Ahh lol, and I thought you had no cross while playing on a server against others.
The remove of the cross befoer the real round starts is just a help, that you see it's still in the 15s timer and don't start wasting time by hopping in the CC and dropping things, and suddenly it restarts.

Yes I knew they were not visible before the game started as it was in the patch notes. I had no xhairs at all even after the game started. I was convinced it was the xhair mod I use at first but deleting them and using the defaults did nothing. I then wondered if the menu mod caused it but eventually just deleted the game and reinstalled. But, even after that I had no xhairs. I deleted the game again but this time checked every file and folder was gone in steam and in the admin/appdata areas which I did not do the first time. This fixed my problem and am back in action again.

Thanks for the Lerk advice the other night btw Flood, I appreciate it as I am just getting into the lerk after being a dedicated Skulk and Fade man. I might even try the commanders chair sometime soon lol.

Thank you I will take you up on that soon. I am getting the lerk slowly but the one life form I really find hard is the Onos. I just don't seem to last long and I see others taking massive amounts of grenades and shotgun blasts yet my health is at zero before I know it. I need comm lessons too if you are any good at that. I have gone comm once in nearly 300 hours of game time lol. It didn't go well lol.

Cheers
