FAQ

Oses supported?

Windows (tested on Windows 10 and 11).

Is it a cheat?

No, Sapin is just an overlay, it doesn't interact with the game in any way.
It opens a window on top of all other windows, centered, and draws the crosshair on it.
Feel free to check the source code.

Which games are supported?

It should work with most games (in fullscreen and fullscreen windowed modes).

It doesn't work with my game

Some games block overlays, you can try to run the game in windowed mode.

Can I get banned for using Sapin?

-> Is it a cheat?
I can't guarantee that you won't get banned, use at your own risk.

Windows flags it as a virus

It's a false positive, Sapin is open source, feel free to check the source code.
Signing the executable would fix the issue, but it costs money, so I'm not planning to do it.
If Windows Defender is blocking the executable, you can add an exception for it.

The crosshair is not pixel perfect or a bit blurry

This could be due to Windows display scaling factor.
Check in settings: System > Display > Scale
