Part 7: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this bannable on CSSO 05 servers? A: CSSO 05 is a private mod; there is no VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) in the same way as official CS:GO. However, some competitive leagues may ban HUDs that alter visibility (e.g., removing flashbang whiteout). Stick to aesthetic changes only.

Q: Will the HUD update improve my FPS? A: Not usually. In fact, CS:GO-style HUDs often use more alpha blending and textures, which can slightly lower FPS on very old hardware (Pentium 4 era). If you need FPS, use a flat HUD instead.

Q: I updated the HUD, but my radar is still the old circle. Why? A: You need to update radar_settings.res and replace the radar textures in \materials\overviews\. The CS:GO radar is square, while CSSO 05 default is circular.

Q: Can I use custom crosshairs with my new HUD? A: Yes. The HUD update does not conflict with cl_crosshair commands. Use cl_crosshairsize 3 and cl_crosshaircolor 5 for a classic CS:GO look.
