I was setting up recursion, and read up how the overlay functions were broken with the DX11 update. Which sucked because I wanted to use the crosshair overlay that it provided. However for those of you who would like to use a custom crosshair you can still do so, just without recursion or playclaw.
You will need to run your game in "Fullscreen Windowed" mode for this to work.
Keep in mind that using this will NOT get you banned. It does not mess with any game files or mess with the memory of the game. It's a completely standalone program that just overlays an image on your monitor.
There is a program called "Custom Desktop Logo" that allows any image file to be displayed on your monitor above any program. Using this program you can use the image of any crosshair and display it over the game, allowing you to have any custom crosshair you'd like. This is useful for knowing exactly where the center of your screen is rather than just having a largely spaced out + for your crosshair.

When the program opens it will be minimized in your task bar, near where the clock is. To change settings right click and click settings.
SETUPTo use any custom crosshair go into the file "crosshairs" in the "Custom_Desktop_Logo_V2.1" folder. Create a new file and name it whatever you'd like, and drag the crosshair you want to use into that folder. Then open the program and click "Change Image Folder" Then select the folder you put the crosshair you want to use in.
Here are some examples of how it looks to use this.

EDIT: If you like PlayClaw cool! Then this post isn't for you. This is for people who don't want to use a trial program or buy playclaw. Go elsewhere with your unnecessary hate. Just trying to help..
