Middle of Screen/Crosshair is blurry

[skilaruh]

Whenever I try to record, in this case tf2, the center of my screen, especially my crosshair appears extremely blurry. Is there any way to fix this?
Here is the log file of the 10-15 second recording I did:

I'll also link to a screenshot of what it looks like in game:

I'm using cqp 15. Also I turned off HAGS but the result is still the same. It's quite weird, the rest of my screen is mostly clear but the center is blurry. Especially the crosshair.

The crosshair is color red which tends to create artifacts when recording due to compresion. This can be percived as blured but it's actually compresion artifacts. Same thing goes to green.
But in the image you can see no artifact nor noticeable blur in it other than the normal blur form the game due to distance form the character (blu12).

Also, if you're using windows player to watch the video, try VLC player instead.

Thank you so much! Changing it to white does help it a lot. Is there any way to not have artifacts when using a red crosshair? My crosshairs are red in most games.

I use VLC to review videos.

Make yourself a favor and forget about artifacts. No one cares about it.
Use the color you feel the best for you and enjoy the game.
