Issues fixed
Cannot select higher resolution than native one when using Nvidia DSR or AMD VSR
Set resolution in videoconfig.txt[11] |
---|
|
- Please note changing video settings in-game will reset the resolution to whatever is selected in the game menu.
Game too dark or (with higher brightness) colors are washed out
- Titanfall 2 can natively only adjust brightness, not gamma level.
Use external injector[12] |
---|
Use an external tool such as SweetFX (function "Lift Gamma Gain") to increase the gamma level of the image. |
Selecting Video settings in game causes crash or Titanfall 2 only launches in windowed mode
- Because of desktop scaling in Windows 10, Titanfall 2 has difficulty running in full-screen mode and/or crashes when going into Video Settings.
In thte Nvidia Control Panel, under "Adjust desktop size and position", either select "no scaling" or put "Perform scaling" on GPU. |
---|
Audio Configuration defaults to 7.1 Surround
- The game may set the audio configuration to the maximum available configuration for any audio device even if the output device is set to stereo.
Run the game with the -channels 2 command line argument.

Can't join online servers on Intel 10th-gen CPUs or higher
Error message: "Contacting Respawn servers... Data Center: Searching..."
- The game is affected by the OpenSSL SHA bug.

Mods
Grapple Stim
- Allows the use of either the Grapple or Stim ability in the campaign instead of Cloak by adding a "Switch Ability" option in the controls menu that still lets you select Cloak, which requires a level restart to apply.
- Requires Icepick to enable the mod
- Disables multiplayer while Icepick is enabled. Just launch the game normally to play without mods.
Northstar
- Adds the ability to host and join private or dedicated servers, with multiple new gamemodes and enhancements.
- Now supports Attrition.[16]
- Disables campaign while running, but does not override base Titanfall 2 files, and is launched separately. Campaign is still playable as normal as a result.

- "On Titanfall we started with the Source engine; we replaced the renderer, we replaced the audio system, we replaced the net code. What we have now is very different from that. We have stuck with the Titanfall engine, but we did a lot of rendering improvements.There has been a whole bunch of areas where we make big changes to the engine, so there’s not a lot of Source left; we continue to rip out chunks and rewrite chunks and make it do exactly what we want to get out of this engine, and get the performance what we’re looking for."
