## Lutris (Wine)

1. If you don't already have the game downloaded, install the game [from here.](https://lutris.net/games/titanfall-2/)
2. Download the latest version of Northstar from the [releases](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases) page
3. Extract all contents of the file to your Titanfall 2 folder
4. **If you have the game installed on Lutris:** right click _Titanfall 2_ > _Configure_ > _Game Options_ > Set _Executable path_ to _NorthstarLauncher.exe_
5. **Otherwise:** click the `+` button in the top left > set the name to whatever and _Runner_ to _Wine_ > click on _Game options_ > set _Executable path_ to _NorthstarLauncher.exe_ then save.
1. If you don't already have the game downloaded, you can use [this Lutris script](https://github.com/begin-theadventure/lutris-scripts/tree/main/lutris-scripts/Northstar/EA%20App).
2. Install the latest version of Northstar using [FlightCore](../installing-northstar/northstar-installers#geckoeidechse-flightcore), [Viper](../installing-northstar/northstar-installers#0negal-viper), or do it manually

1. For manual install, download the latest version of Northstar from the [releases](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases) page
2. Then extract all contents of the file to your Titanfall 2 folder ( Right click _Titanfall 2_ > Click _Browse files_ )
3. Add `-northstar` as a [launch option](../installing-northstar/troubleshooting.md#launch-opts) to Titanfall2
4. Disable in-game overlay: In EA App, click on the hamburger menu on the top left > Click _Settings_ > Click _Application_ > Toggle _in-game overlay_ to OFF. In Origin, it's not necessary to turn off overlay, but doing so improves performance.

I added the mentions to Origin because Gecko mentioned it earlier.

Yup, I'd keep it as we still have a bunch of people using it...

Origin is deprecated, and we should treat it as such and stop mentioning it, keeping it alive will just cause more issues in the long run.

I don't fully disagree but the reality is that right now (especially on Linux) we still have a bunch of people using it. Removing Origin from the wiki should be done in separate PR IMO


{% hint style="info" %}
Alternatively, you can open the EA App and launch _NorthstarLauncher.exe_ via _Run EXE inside Wine prefix_ and the in-game overlay will work, after several errors. However, the playtime won't be logged in the EA App.
{% endhint %}

Now just launch the game through Lutris and you should be greeted with a Northstar welcome message upon entering the main menu.

We should probably get to one decided way to refer to the EA App. Earlier in the page, its referred to as just EA App without saying The EA App. The troubleshooting page is also guilty of this issue but it should be changed to be one way, starting here preferably while there's already an open pr for a page with the issue
