You don't see a crosshair in your game. Why?

The most 'popular' cause why you don't see the crosshair is Fullscreen exclusive mode which is used by the game render.

In this graphics mode the game process 'captures' whole control over GPU and Windows doesn't allow other software to draw over the screen. That is why it is called Exclusive mode. This mode has a few advantages over windowed (borderless) mode but most gamers will not feel any differences, really.

If you're sure that you need to run the game only in Fullscreen Exclusive mode, then take a look to our another tool for gamers HudSight. HudSight is special software which can draw crosshairs in any game render mode by adding its own code to the game rendering queue.

If you run games in windowed (borderless) mode, try Desktop Overlay. Anticheats cannot do anything with these overlays.
