On Steam Deck, complete the following in desktop mode. You may return to game mode once completed _(A mouse + keyboard plugged into the Deck are recommended for easier navigation of menus)_

1. Make sure you ran the vanilla version of Titanfall2 at least once on Linux!
* If you use an Nvidia GPU you may need to start the game using Proton 6.3-8 for the first time
* If Titanfall 2 fails to launch, you may have to delete the game's Proton prefix and reinstall using another version of Proton.
1. To do this, head to `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata` if you installed Steam via a native package, or the Flatpak equivalent.
2. Delete the folder named `1237970`
3. Set Titanfall 2 to launch with `Proton 6.3-8` or `Proton 7.0-6` in the _Properties_ -> _Compatibility_ section.
4. Launch the game and allow the install to completely finish.
5. Set Titanfall 2 to launch with a more current version of Proton, NorthstarProton, or Proton GE.
6. If Titanfall 2 still fails to launch, delete the prefix again and try installing with the other version of Proton.
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_ > Open _Properties_ > Click _Local Files_ > Click _Browse_ )
3. Install NorthstarProton
3. Install NorthstarProton or a current version of Proton GE.
* In some user cases, NorthstarProton may not work. You may instead try Proton GE, which is also available through the following methods.
1. **Protonup-QT**: Click _About_, then tick the box to enable _advanced mode_. You should be able to select and install NorthstarProton from the _Add version_ menu.
2. **ProtonPlus**: NorthstarProton can also be installed via ProtonPlus.
3. **Manual**: Download the latest release of [NorthstarProton](https://github.com/cyrv6737/NorthstarProton/releases/), extract it, and place the folder in one of the following directories:
