Can You Center Outer Worlds Crosshair on PC?

As far as we can tell, you can’t center the crosshair in Outer Worlds on PC. I mean, not that you can do it on console, either, but people playing on PC have been kicking up the most dust about it. People have even been diving deep into the game files, trying to figure out if they can have the crosshair on the center of the screen. Nothing seems to work. You can go into the gameusersettings.ini in the files and mess around with the Aiming Reticle options if you want. Sure, you can turn the crosshair off completely for extra realism, if you want. Doesn’t look like there’s any way to center it, though. In case you have figured out a way, please leave your solution in the comments.

Game Crashing On Launch – How to Fix Outer Worlds Error?

If Outer Worlds is crashing for you on launch, there are several avenues that you might want to explore. First off, you should download the latest Windows 10 Media Feature Pack. You can find it on the Microsoft website here. Also, make sure that all your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. If that doesn’t work, but you do manage to get far enough to enter the Options menu, try lowering your Graphics settings. This has worked for some people. If not, well, here’s to hoping it gets fixed soon. Also, if you have other suggestions, the comment section is below.

How To Fix Blurry Game in Outer Worlds PC Version?

To fix Outer Worlds looking blurry on PC, you can try to turn Visual Effects to Low in the Options. Actually, you might as well try with Medium first and then, if the blurriness persists, switch it to Low. This should get rid of all those graphical features that we know and love and never really asked for, like Chromatic Aberration.

Alternatively, if you happen to be using an Nvidia card, you can attempt to mess around with the options for the game in the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel. Of course, this might not work either. The fact of the matter is that Outer Worlds really doesn’t offer plenty graphical options, so you don’t really have a lot of wiggle room. If you have a different fix, do leave it in the comments, and we’ll add it here.
