btupdater

A small bash script for updating Northstar

How to Use

Installation

make PREFIX="$HOME/.local" install

First Launch

On first launch, btupdater will ask for the absolute path to your Titanfall 2 installation (usually under ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Titanfall2 if installed through steam).

Afterwards, btupdater is able to install any new Northstar release and extract it to your game directory whenever a new one is published on github.

Differences from other Launchers

Most other launchers for Northstar don't support Linux (yet), so this was just a quick script I made to make a simple one for Linux.

...and see Warnings

Troubleshooting

No such file or directory error

• If you're getting this error, your game directly is most likely

Warnings

btupdater will extract to anywhere it's told

• There is currently no verification in place for the game directory path to make sure it is for Titanfall 2, so be careful

btupdater does not actually enable Northstar

• Northstar is only extracted to the game directory. You will need to move Titanfall2.exe to Titanfall2old.exe and symlink NorthstarLauncher.exe to Titanfall2.exe
