- Updated sv_pure so client will detect corrupt or modified VPK files
-- Use Steam to verify local cache to fix corrupt files
-- Use the custom folder to customize the game

Would this mean improved customization? Maybe actual custom crosshairs that work on sv_pure 2?

Just use HUD crosshairs, they aren't removed in sv_pure 2

Hud crosshairs are great, but they aren't dynamic. Being able to change custom crosshairs with a crosshair switcher script would be pretty cool. Would be able to change color and size and such on the fly.

wareyahow about they just let us use custom crosshairs on sv_pure 2 just like huds

because its about time valve focused on improving existing structure on tf2 again and not letting the community fix their shit via dumb workarounds

good examples include

Transparency Slider for Viewmodels

Allow players to go lower than 2 Picmip without cheats.

Outlined TF2 Crosshairs (checkbox perhaps)

Wouldn't the csgo background be in the way unless you have godlike cropping skills?

It's actually pretty easy. You just take a screenshot of the crosshair, open gimp or photoshop or whatever and draw over it. You can do it completely flawless if you take your time. Not a perfect method I know but it works and it does exactly what m1nd wanted.

EDIT: You could obviously always rip the textures you need from the game you want. This way I got the warsow crosshairs but I'm not sure if it'll work with cs:go

This update has been a nightmare for me.

I watched it get downloaded and tried to play a quick pub. Got denied because "The server you're trying to play on is on a newer version of the game."

I've uninstalled, cleared game cache, uninstalled again and restarted a bunch of times.

Anyone have an idea how I can get this to work?
