Basic Setup
Head over to the installer page and pick one of the existing installers. All of these take care of both installing and updating Northstar.
If you prefer to avoid any additional installers and know what you're doing, check out the guide for manual installation:
Should you notice any issues/warnings/errors while running Northstar, check the troubleshooting page.
If Northstar doesn't appear to be installed, or you have issues entering the lobby, try running vanilla files. It's hard to say what VPK mods could cause issues with Northstar at the moment, so it'd probably be easiest just to try running unmodded.
Northstar can also be launched through Steam or Origin using the "add a game" feature. This allows you to register any .exe as a game. To set up Northstar, navigate to your Titanfall 2 folder and choose
NorthstarLaucher.exe.

Steam can be configured to prompt for starting either Northstar or vanilla when Titanfall 2 is launched. This example uses SteamEdit, however another
appinfo.vdf/packageinfo.vdf editor can be used.

Click on Edit Launch.

Click on Add New.

Launching Titanfall 2 will now display a prompt for vanilla and Northstar.
