Download this batch file, place it in your CoP installation directory and execute the file. Launch the game directly from the installation dir using Stalker-COP.exe without using a shortcut. This error (sometimes with different filenames) could be triggered by several different reasons – for example if you are trying to launch the game using a desktop shortcut that has an improper value in the ‘Working Directory’ field. Now launch the game using Stalker-COP.exe located in the game’s installation directoryĬannot open file fsgame.ltx.
Delete everything inside this folder including subfolders and files (if any). Call of Pripyat (if you installed the game for all users, look under C:\Users\Public\Documents\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. by default this is C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Browse the to folder where the game stored user data. During the prompt where you have to insert the CD-Key, do not inser a name.

Anyways here’s our routine troubleshooting article for COP – this post will hopefully address issues you are facing with the game. English version comes pre-patched to v1.6.02 for improved stability. Thankfully, Call of Pripyat seems to be the most stable & optimized game in the STALKER series so far. If you’ve played the previous two STALKER games, most of you would agree with me when I say they had great gameplay. Although there were numerous RUS to English translation patches, subtitles, menu fixes, etc around, the NA and EU versions of the game which are targeted specifically at English speaking users are now out. Russian version of this game was released back in November 2009. The English version of the long awaited S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Call Of Pripyat (CoP) has finally hit the shelves.
