About Northstar Guide

This page explains how to install the Northstar client for Titanfall 2 on PC. It covers downloading the client zip, extracting it, copying the files into the Titanfall 2 folder where titanfall.exe is located, and starting with northstarlauncher.exe. It also describes updating by deleting old files and adding new ones, and suggests running as administrator if launching fails.

The client is PC-only and uses a separate profile that starts at level 1 with everything unlocked. Campaign and modes with AI/NPC, such as Attrition and FD, do not work.
