Open Discord

Launch through Steam

The Steam edition requires a running Steam client and verifies that the current Steam account owns AimX before opening its windows.

  • Start Steam and sign in to the account that owns AimX.
  • Launch AimX from the Steam Library.
  • If Steam was updated, fully exit Steam and open it again.
  • Restart Windows if Steam and AimX remain in a stale state.

Tray and Windows startup

Closing the settings window leaves AimX running in the system tray. Open the tray icon to return to settings.

  • Use the tray menu for Settings, Toggle Crosshair, or Quit.
  • Check the tray overflow area if the icon is hidden.
  • Launch at Startup is optional and starts AimX silently.
  • Use Quit from the tray before testing a fresh launch.

Crosshair and hotkeys

The default toggle is Ctrl + Shift + X, and the default settings shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + S.

  • Confirm the crosshair is turned on in the Crosshair tab.
  • Try the tray Toggle Crosshair action.
  • Rebind shortcuts that are reserved by Windows or another app.
  • Reset settings if a saved configuration is no longer useful.

Multi-monitor behavior

AimX uses the display selected under Settings. It falls back to the primary display while the selected monitor is disconnected.

  • Open Settings and confirm the intended display is selected.
  • Reconnect the monitor and allow Windows to finish detecting it.
  • Reopen settings after changing display layout or scaling.
  • Use the X/Y controls if the preferred aim point needs adjustment.

ADS hold-to-hide

ADS hiding is optional. Its global input hook only runs while the feature is enabled or while an ADS input is being assigned.

  • Enable Hide crosshair while ADS before testing.
  • Confirm the assigned key or mouse button.
  • Start with 0 ms hide and 40 ms restore delay.
  • Increase delays gradually if the timing does not fit the action.
  • Disable ADS hiding to stop the global input hook.

Presets and local settings

AimX stores its settings under %APPDATA%\AimX. JSON import and export can move an individual crosshair configuration.

  • Export useful crosshairs before resetting settings.
  • Import only JSON from sources you trust.
  • Malformed or unsupported values are rejected or normalized.
  • Reset Settings restores application defaults and bundled styles.
