Crosshair new system

768p pixels, enlarged

cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshair_length 4; cl_crosshair_thickness 2; cl_crosshair_gap 4; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshaircolor_g 208; cl_crosshaircolor_b 251; cl_crosshaircolor_a 255; cl_ironsight_usecrosshaircolor 0; cl_ironsight_dot_scale 1; cl_crosshair_screen_height 768

Not in this config because the setting didn't exist yet, so off: cl_crosshair_drawoutline, cl_crosshair_t, cl_crosshair_recoil.
Until 5 Jun 2013 the style 4 gap changed per weapon; the current game has one gap, so the export uses the gap without the weapon value.

These are SmithZz's CS:GO settings from 2013, the closest to 2012 we found that can be converted (see where these settings come from). Converted to CS2's crosshair system since the Sept 22, 2026 update, authored at 768p, SmithZz's resolution; CS2 rescales it to your resolution.

Valve published no conversion formula. This uses a community reconstruction (small-indie-crosshair-company v0.19.1, model community-static-v11, CS2 build 2000922); for Static Cross at 1080p and 960p it agrees with the rule crosshairrestore.com measured from in-game screenshots (CS2 builds before Sept 30), and nothing else has been checked against captures.

The paste sets every setting that shapes this crosshair, including the iron-sight dot (CS2's defaults where their config has no value), so nothing from your current crosshair carries over.

Full config 3 parts

Download .cfg

The CS2 console can reject a pasted line longer than 510 characters, so the full config comes in parts: press ~ in CS2, paste part 1, press Enter, then do the same with the next part. Or download the .cfg, save it in Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/cfg/ and run exec smithzz-2012 in the console.

DPI is only taken from a source that lists the same sensitivity, so the eDPI matches the sensitivity shown. The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
