Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Use the `-novid` command line argument

Alternately, move or delete the video files^[3]

Navigate to <path-to-game>\r2\media.
Move or delete the following files: ea.bik, all legal_*.bik files, menu_act01.bik, respawn.bik.

Deleting menu_act01.bik is not necessary, but game will boot faster and exit to menus faster.

Raw mouse input

Reduces input lag and makes mouse more responsive.

Use the `+m_rawinput 1` command line argument

Additional graphical options

Some of the graphical options can not be changed by the in-game menu, but there is a way to change them manually.

Instructions

Find and open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Respawn\Titanfall2\local\videoconfig.txt in a text editor.
Find and modify those parameters for better visual quality:

"setting.cl_particle_fallback_multiplier" [0-1] - controls draw distance of the particle effects. Recommended value is "0"

"setting.cl_ragdoll_maxcount" [0-∞] - controls amount of the ragdolls on the ground. Recommended value is "16"

"setting.mat_picmip" [-10-4] - controls resolution of the textures. Recommended values are something between "-1" and "-10"

Lower values, like -10 can cause stuttering.

"setting.r_decals" [0-∞] - controls amount of the decals rendered at the same time. Recommended value is "1024"

"setting.shadow_depthres" [0-∞] - controls quality of the spot shadows. Recommended value is "2048"

"setting.fadeDistScale" [0-∞] - controls fade distance of the models. Recommended value is "3.000000"

3. Save modified file and make it read-only.

Graphics feature	WSGF	Notes
Widescreen resolution		Letterboxed to 16:9 when using 4:3 or 5:4 resolutions.
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen		Cutscenes and loading screens are pillarboxed 16:9. Certain resolutions may require update to configuration file.
4K Ultra HD		Certain resolutions may require update to configuration file.
Field of view (FOV)	70-110°. See Field of view (FOV).
Windowed	Certain windowed resolutions may require update to configuration file.
Borderless fullscreen windowed	Use the `-window -noborder` command line arguments
Anisotropic filtering (AF)	Up to 16 samples
Anti-aliasing (AA)	TSAA, up to 8x MSAA, and up to 8x EQAA. Also supports Adaptive Supersampling: "Dynamically raises rendering resolution if the game is running faster than the target framerate." Option is unavailable if resolution exceeds 16K either horizontally or vertically.
Vertical sync (Vsync)	Disabled, Double/Triple buffered, Dynamic and Nvidia Adaptive (Half-refresh) V-Sync.
60 FPS and 120+ FPS	Up to 144 FPS by default. Unlocked with `+fps_max unlimited` or v-sync enabled in game and disabled in driver, but does not appear to increase visual smoothness.^[4]
High dynamic range display (HDR)	See the glossary page for potential alternatives.
Color blind mode

Resolution

Certain resolutions under Graphics settings may not be selectable even when not using Nvidia DSR or AMD VSR, such as anything higher than 1920 horizontal pixels by 1080 vertical pixels.

Users with NVIDIA graphics cards that support GeForce Experience can use the game optimization feature and configuration in GeForce Experience to update the resolution.

Set to unlisted resolution^[5]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `videoconfig.txt`. Change `setting.defaultres` value to the desired horizontal resolution. Change `setting.defaultresheight` value to the desired vertical resolution.

Field of view (FOV)

Set max to 120^[6]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `profile.cfg`. Change `cl_fovScale` value to 1.70.

Depth of field

Disable depth of field^[7]

Go to <path-to-game>\r2\cfg and create a file called autoexec.cfg.
Paste bindtoggle f3 dof_enable, then save the file.
Set the game's command line arguments to +exec autoexec.cfg.

Notes

Depth of field is re-activated after every match: hence the keybind, in order to deactivate it again.

Toggle in-game with the F3 key. Replace f3 with another key to change keybind.

Disables depth of field for weapons. Also disables ADS and cinematic depth of field

Issues fixed

Cannot select higher resolution than native one when using Nvidia DSR or AMD VSR

Set resolution in videoconfig.txt^[11]
Open `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Respawn\Titanfall2\local\videoconfig.txt` in a text editor. Modify `setting.defaultres` and `setting.defaultresheight` to the desired resolution width and height, and save the file. The game should now run at the selected resolution.

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.

See Bypass OpenSSL SHA bug on Intel 10th gen and later CPUs.^[13]

Command line parameters

See command line arguments on how to use the following options.

Parameter	Description
-novid	Disables intro videos
-high	Force Titanfall to launch as a high priority process
-noborder	Removes the border around the window
-window	Runs the game in windowed mode (use with the above for real borderless)
-fullscreen	Runs the game in fullscreen mode
+showfps_enabled `X`	`1` Enables a simple FPS counter at the top-right of the screen `2` Enables a large debug graph that displays FPS, frame times, CPU wait time and average high/low FPS
+cl_showfps `X`	`1` Enables a small alternate FPS counter at the top-right of the screen `2` Enables a small alternate FPS counter in the top-left
+cl_showpos 1	Displays player name, position, angle, and velocity information on the top-left of the screen

-height	Specify resolution height. Game crashes if less than 600
-channels	Specify the audio channel configuration
+FPS_max `75`	Specify FPS limit (Change `75` to desired limit).

Enable Quicksave and Quickload

Modify custom.cfg^[15]

Create a file named custom.cfg in <path-to-game>\r2\cfg.
Open the file in a text editor and paste the following:

 bind "f5" "save save1"
 bind "f9" "load save1"

3. Use +exec custom.cfg as a command line argument

Notes

As long as save file names are not repeated, multiple independent quicksave and quickload keys can be set.

These commands can be bound to any keys, not just F5 and F9, and the save file can have any name, just not savegame as that is the default autosave or checkpoint file name.

Despite "checkpoint saved" being shown upon each quicksave, quicksaving and quickloading is independent from the checkpoint/respawn system.

Mods

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.

Automatic installation^[17]

Go to the R2Northstar Wiki and choose an installer/launcher of your liking.
Go to the GitHub/Thunderstore repository of the chosen installer/launcher (r2modman, Viper or VTOL) and download it by either clicking "Download" or "Manual Download" button, depending on chosen installer/launcher.
Follow the installation instructions provided on the installer/launcher page.

Provides easy modding and updating.

Manual installation^[18]

Download the latest release from the official Northstar page.
Extract the contents of Northstar.release.*.zip to <path-to-game>.
Launch the game through NorthstarLauncher.exe in order to play on Northstar servers, or launch the game normally to play on the official servers and campaign mode.

Does not support modding or automatic updates.
