Why can't I see crosshair in Fortnite Fullscreen?
If you're having trouble seeing your Crosshair X overlay when playing Fortnite in fullscreen mode, follow this step-by-step troubleshooting guide to resolve the issue.
Method 1: Use Game Bar Mode
The first and simplest solution is to use Crosshair X's Game Bar Mode:
1
Open Crosshair X.
2
Navigate to the Display Modes page.
3
Select Game Bar Mode and follow the instructions to properly set it up.
Method 2: Check Fortnite Executable Compatibility Settings
If the Game Bar Mode doesn't resolve the issue, check Fortnite's executable compatibility settings:
1
Open File Explorer and navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite\FortniteGame\Binaries\Win64Note: If you encounter an error, it's likely because either:
- You copied and pasted the directory path incorrectly
- Fortnite is installed on a different drive than your C: drive
If Fortnite is installed on a different drive, navigate to the same subfolder on your respective drive where Fortnite is installed.
2
Once you've found the correct folder, locate these executable files:
- FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe
- FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping_EAC_EOS.exe
- FortniteLauncher.exe
3
Right-click each executable file, select Properties and navigate to their respective Compatibility tabs.
4
Make sure none of the files has any compatibility settings enabled. No boxes should have a check mark.
5
Restart Fortnite.
Method 3: Disable Windows Fullscreen Optimizations
If the crosshair still isn't visible after trying the previous methods, try disabling Windows fullscreen optimizations:
1
Open PowerShell as administrator.
2
Copy and paste this command (and hit enter):
irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex3
Navigate to the Tweaks page in the utility that opens.
4
Select "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations," scroll to the bottom and press "Undo selected tweaks."
5
Close the PowerShell window.
6
Restart Fortnite.
