NorthstarProton-7.15

Do not use this Proton runner for any games other than TF|2 / Northstar

• Updated wine base to wine-staging 7.15

NorthstarProton-7.14-2

Do not use this Proton runner for any games other than TF|2 / Northstar

• Updated DXVK to 1.10.3

NorthstarProton-7.14-1

Do not use this Proton runner for any games other than TF|2 / Northstar

• Updated wine base to wine-staging 7.14
• Removed superfluous Protonfixes files

NorthstarProton-7.13-3

• Re-implemented wsock32 DLL override with Protonfixes. This enables Deck compatibility without manually overriding.

v7.13-dt1

• Stripped-out Protonfixes to more forcefully apply the DLL override to hopefully enable better Deck compatibility
• Also using Protonfixes to autoinstall lucidia and arial fonts to enable Console output.

v7.13-2 Hotfix

• Reduced uncompressed size by ~30%, this brings it down to about standard Proton runner size.
• Removed unneeded LFX files.

v7.13-1

DO NOT USE THIS PROTON BUILD FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT TITANFALL 2 + NORTHSTAR

Report any issues with this proton build to the issues on this repo. Do not take them to upstream wine, Valve, or TKG.

Requirements:

• glibc 2.33 or higher

Features:

• DXVK-async 1.10.2 enabled out of the box
• LatencyFleX wine components added. Users must set up the vulkan layer and enable LFX via launch options
• Automatic dll override for wsock32.dll which allows Northstar to run without any launch options
• Protonified wine-staging 7.13 based on TKG-Proton

Known Issues:

• SteamDeck still requires WINEDLLOVERRIDES="wsock32=n,b" to work

v7.13-rc3

Rebuilt against glibc 2.33 to hopefully enable SteamDeck compatibility and increase desktop compatibility with stable distros.

Refer to rc1 for testing instructions and features.

https://github.com/cyrv6737/NorthstarProton/releases/tag/v7.13-rc1

v7.13-rc2

Added LatencyFleX Windows components to the default prefix to largely reduce setup for LFX on Northstar. Now all a user should need to do is set up the vulkan layer and add LFX=1 %command% to their Steam launch options.

Please refer to rc1 for a complete feature list and testing instructions.

v7.13-rc1

DO NOT USE THIS PROTON BUILD FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT TITANFALL 2/NORTHSTAR

WIP. glibc 2.35 may be a hard requirement to use this. Things this build inlcudes:

• DXVK 1.10.2
• DXVK-Async out of the box, no launch options required.
• wsock32.dll override handling, no launch options required.
• Proton-specific LatencyFleX components
• Based on wine-staging 7.13

TODO:

• Update readme if tests are successful
• ???

FOR LINUX PLAYTESTERS:

• Remove WINEDLLOVERRIDES="wsock32=n,b" from your launch options.
• Make sure that Titanfall2.exe is the original one and not symlinked to NorthstarLauncher.exe. SHA256 should be 1d557ff919aa2215b324292b24362ed780942e0c7d22310ff4ca1605982d0a62
• Make sure you have a file in the root Titanfall2 directory called run_northstar.txt with a contents of 1
• Extract release to ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/

To play vanilla:
Untick force compatibility so it runs the default proton build. This should launch Titanfall 2 vanilla as normal.

To play Northstar:
Tick force compatibility and enable Northstar-Proton-7.13-rc1. This should launch Northstar.
