Frequently asked questions

Some frequently asked questions might be answered on this page. On the bottom of this page you can also find an overview of the new missions and how they are connected.

Q: On launch, I receive the message "A S.T.A.L.K.E.R. call of pripyat installation has not been detected ...... requires you to own a valid copy of GSC game world's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. call of pripyat?"

A: The engine on which Road To The North is build looks for a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. call of pripyat cd key on launch. This check is still present to prevent piracy and to support GSC game world, the creator of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. A digital copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat is available on Steam. If you already own Call of Pripyat, install it once so the cd key is registered on your PC. Road To The North does not require any of the files of the original games, as it is a standalone mod, but it does require the Call Of Pripyat CD key to be present in the registry.

Q: MSCVP***.dll is missing?

A: Install Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable from Microsoft.

Q: My character is dying and I don't know why?

A: This is usually radiation. Avoid some areas untill you have a gas mask and filter. Use the geiger counter item to see your radiation value. Sources of radiation vary from walking through areas on the map to consuming low quality food. Cigarettes, vodka and some medicine can be used to lower the radiation.

Q: Where do I go, in what order?

A: Missions unlock while you progress. Start with the mission at Skadovsk, marked by a yellow mission marker on the PDA. Explore areas and come back later if they are currently too difficult to survive in. Find out ways to make and preserve money in different areas to buy better gear before you move on, especially psy / rad / chem protection is important and getting a shotgun will make many areas more accessible early on. If you don't remember your current playthrough's progress or need a hint, take a look at the self writing journal which is an item in the inventory. You may choose your own order of progressing through the available missions, the game will respond to your actions. The very first main mission at skadovsk may not be failed, or the story ends.

Q: Gonta is stuck, crouching at a wooden crate in the hunting mission?

A: A chimera should show up. Kill it and complete the mission. This mission may not fail. As the world contains many simulated elements, the A.I. sometimes proved unpredictable even in scripted events. If you can not (or don't like to) pass this mission, there is an addon on ModDB to skip the mission.

Q: Crashes!

A: send me a private message with your issue, so I can check if I need to make a patch for something. The mod is very stable. Keep in mind that high video settings like full grass distance, or making changes to the mod yourself can make the engine itself unstable. Try lowering the lighting distance/grass distance for example before posting a crash report. If a crash log mentions DirectX, try switching DirectX versions in the graphics options.

Q: My inventory icons are bugged/stretched/missing and I didn't mod anything myself?

A: In the graphics options, increase the texture detail slider and (in some cases) switch to another dx(10/11) setting. The problem seems to be related to low graphics settings, or old hardware. For modders: keep the ui_icon_equipment.dds size low and export with DXT1. a 4k DXT5 file caused this issue for me on a high end system.

Q: Text fonts are very small or large?

A: Text scaling isn't perfect in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Fonts on screen resolutions close to 1920x1080 are alright. Extremely low or high resolutions (4K) show large or tiny fonts. There are addons to configure fonts for 4K.

Q: How can I improve graphics of distance objects / depth of field?

A: This might decrease fps a small bit. insert the following console commands in-game:
For LOD: r2_ssa_lod_a 32, r2_ssa_lod_b 32
For DOF: r2_dof_far 1250, r2_dof_kernel 1

Q: I'm getting some FPS drops?

A: Please report the location, situation and if possible the cause to me in a private message. Short fps drops are normal in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., I noticed some anomalies and lighting can cause issues too. I might be able to help if you send me enough information. The mod is build for medium > fast PCs. on a slow pc or laptop, switch to low graphics, lower resolution and choose static lighting.

Q: How can I be a female character?

A: Go to the mod included patch folder, open the male or female gender folder and copy the contents of gamedata into the RTTN gamedata folder. This will give you the female sounds and hand model, or the male version. When starting a new game you can choose from female icons (on the bottom of the icon list) which will change your gender status into female.

Q: How do I use the gas mask filter / oxygen tank?

A: Filters are for compatible masks, which are most of them except for cloth sheet and metal helmet. Oxygen tanks are used with SEVA suits, the ones with a closed respiratory system. Filters and tanks can be "Used", to set it as an active filter/tank. Depending on what you are wearing, the system will automatically choose between tank or filter. When active on your helmet/suit, a tank or filter can be damaged by toxic or radioactive environments. Your helmet or suit will only protect you against toxic / rad particles if your filter / tank is active.

Q: How do disguises work?

A: Wear any faction suit to disguise yourself. Disguise Status can be seen on top of the inventory menu. If you put on a suit in front of the enemy, your disguise will be lost. If you shoot anyone from the faction you are disguised as, your disguise will be lost. If for any reason the enemy sees through your disguise, travel to another level and they might forget you. Friendlies think you are their enemy if you disguise yourself as their enemy. Take off your disguise to make them friendly again instead of shooting back. View the faction relations tab in your PDA to plan ahead how you will disguise yourself and what to expect.

Q: Duty starts shooting at me when I walk into their base / What about the ceasefire?

A: There is a ceasefire between Duty and Freedom near the bar area. If you are Freedom, or disguised as freedom, Duty will become hostile if you enter their base.

Q: How do I find Patches for his mission?

A:*SPOILER* He can spawn during the mission for Boss where you bring Scar's PDA to Doctor in the swamp. When you ask around for Doctor in the Clear Sky base he will spawn.

Q: How do I find The Beyond?

A:*SPOILER* The story of Red is connected to this faction. After finishing up the Link Emitter mission in Jupiter a door in Limansk will open.

Q: The Beyond is hostile to me?

A:*SPOILER* It's possible you met them early near their base (Red Forest), when they are supposed to be hostile, and they did not forget about you. This fits the story. The group you met at the Jupiter was a different branch of The Beyond, combat with them is expected.

Q: Some characters do not respond to combat / are invincible?

A: This is a rare occasion when character simply may not die or initiate combat, to keep the story going. In some cases I will allow a story character to die in which case the story will change, dialogs will change and alternate missions might become available.

Q: The game is too dark?

A: The following values can be set from the console, or in user.ltx: r2_sun_lumscale [-1.000,3.000] - Multiplier for illumination from sunlight, r2_sun_lumscale_amb [0.000,3.000] - Multiplier for ambient / background illumination from sunlight, r2_sun_lumscale_hemi [0.000,3.000] - Multiplier for hemi-illumination / evenly distributed light over surfaces

Q: Cat graphics stretch, or texture glitches

A:These have been reported but seem to be hardware / driver / engine related beyond my control which make them appear only for some users. Switching DX versions on the graphics options, or turning of parallax have often fixed this issue.

The requirement to be able to play Road To The North is that you must buy a game key of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat. The engine will look for a cd key during startup and will shut down if it is not present.


It took 2+ years to create all of the high quality new content added by the mod. Patches, new content, support, web and file hosting have been provided since initial release. If you want to send me (Roy Wierer) a donation for Road To The North, you can find a link to my Patreon page on the home page. This is of course, optional. Thank you!
