Although the series first launched 6 years ago, Titanfall remains a beloved franchise for fans of developer Respawn Entertainment. The first game in the franchise launched as an Xbox One console exclusive, leaving PlayStation fans out in the cold. While it launched exclusively for PC players on EA Origin, even Steam users were left wondering what all the excitement was about. Titanfall 2 eventually launched as a multiplatform title, even hitting Steam earlier this year after EA brought its games to the service, becoming a big hit. Now, EA is attempting to replicate that success with the first game on Steam, though things have gotten a little out of control.

Players are reporting that Titanfall is largely unplayable on Steam from a variety of issues and bugs that have somehow crept in. A large portion of players continue to have server related issues that include being randomly kicked from attempting to join a match. This tends to result in the player selecting a game mode to matchmake for, the game attempts to load into a match, but ends up looping back to the start screen every time. Others have reported issues with the DLC content, with the game indicating that the player is missing content even though it is already included.

Naturally, this has set off a firestorm of comments from the community with many wondering why Respawn and EA would release a game in this state. While fans continue to hold out hope for an update, one may not be coming as these issues are apparently not new for the PC version.

The Titanfall subReddit is quite familiar with this problem which first started appearing on Origin nearly a year ago. The issues appear to be from exploits that have been added to the Titanfall servers by hackers to crash anything from game servers to game clients. The problems has since pushed many Origin players away and if it is not corrected soon on Steam, it may suffer a similar fate.

It's both surprising and disappointing that Titanfall was released in this state. Steam had a huge effect in reviving Titanfall 2 on the PC when it launched earlier this year, not only helping it become a top selling game, but attracting nearly 7,000 concurrent users for a game that launched over 4 years ago. The Titanfall Steam release likely would have had a similar effect, but if these issues remain unchecked, it has almost no shot at success.

Titanfall is available now on PC, Steam, and Xbox One.

Now that EA have decided to cosy up with Valve once again, their games have been pouring onto Steam and that means certain games like Titanfall 2 are easy to get going on Linux.

Thanks to the Steam Play Proton compatibility layer (more info), tons of big Windows-only titles like this are really easy to get running on pretty much any Linux distribution. Titanfall 2 is an underappreciated gem too. I’m a massive FPS nut, I simply love these tactical feeling shooters and Titanfall 2 especially because it’s ridiculously over the top. We also so very rarely get games like this officially on Linux so thanks to Proton we can play Titanfall 2 and many other EA games easily now.

Have a look at Titanfall 2 on Linux below in an unfiltered quick-video:

With Proton 5.0-9 released recently, Valve and CodeWeavers put in some dedicated fixes needed by Origin too so that it's click and play. Well, almost. Initially hitting play may give an error about linking accounts, just hit play again and it should work as expected. Origin being Origin.

Also, you might notice some micro-stutter happening like clockwork every 1-2 seconds or so (not everyone sees it). That is also Origin being a nuisance. Thankfully, there’s a super-simple one-liner fix for that. If you find the compatdata data folder and then the folder inside for Titanfall 2, you need to change the permissions on it as Origin likes to constantly try to write into it. Stop it doing so like this (example):

chmod -R -w ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1237970/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/Origin

That will remove the ability for Origin to write into it as a quick fix, until a real solution comes along. You will need to enable it again (+w instead of -w) if Origin ever needs updates, and then do it again to stop the stuttering. Thanks to a comment from TK-Glitch on GitHub for the idea. It’s likely if you see micro-stutter in other Origin games with Proton on Linux, doing that for each might fix them too.

Once that’s done. Enjoy. A good time to pick it up too since Titanfall 2 has a big discount on Steam.

Ending note: while I am aware people on Linux have played it with Wine and Lutris before, directly in Steam makes things a whole lot simpler.
