Crosshair new system

Or download the .cfg, save it in Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/cfg/ and run exec refrezh in the console.

The autoexec.cfg exactly as settings.gg serves it, in the format from before the Sept 22, 2026 update: its crosshair settings no longer work in CS2, so don't exec it — use the converted commands or .cfg above.
