So, how do I make Multiplayer actually work?

[Shizofrend98HR†]

Just bought it and plan on installing it over night. Heard ppl mention some matchmaking mod and some other thing called northstar. I'm not all that tech savy. Is there a 2023 guide on how to install all of this stuff and how it works and stuff?

aight, ill try vanilla first then and if it doesnt work then ns or github mod. so, like, which has more ppl playing?; north star or that matchmaking mod?

Nightstar has a server browser which means you can choose from the ongoing matches and play instantly, better than to wait for matchmaking to work in my opinion

i'd rather choose mm mod cuz ppl say it has more players. i mean, it doesn't take longer than 5 minutes, does it?

The MM mod make it so you dont have to reque.

Let me cut thru the all the nonsense and explain the entire picture. The game was ddosed for a while (imagine trying to have a conversation where 100 people come in and scream over you, that essentially what it is digitally between computers) so they (the devs) added a "fix".

Said fix makes it so you get disconnected from the que after a while and becomes more likely if you start messing with settings/loadout in que (you can change things just fine in matches either thru que or just starting a private one, or simply back out to the main screen after doing it quickly to save it). It also made the pilot vs pilot mode unstable, not to be confused with live fire a similar mode (dont worry the mode is a cluster and likely the worst one due to slamming the server full of people on maps ment for ~5-8 people).

Again to reiterate the MM mod just auto reques you when you get kicked back to the screen so you can do something else while it searches. Its unusual for ques to take terribly long unless your looking for very specific game modes at bad times.

Northstar is an alternative server browser thats poped up that some use to use private servers instead of the normal game servers (albeit normal servers can run private matches). Think quake or teamfortress server browser (some people use it, many dont).

All the rest is hyperbole,memes and e-clout chasing, apparently its an interesting hobby for people.

ye i know what ddos is, that stuff that went about servers and what server browsers are.

but ppl say north star servers aren't actually titanfall. too many alternate rules and changes? and even tho I could get really quick into the game simply by choosing a server with players in it idk how often there will be at least one or two near full servers to join.

in battlefield 3 for example at some times there is only one or two servers with enjoyable amount of ppl and hackers sometimes ruin that experience.

i was leaning towards mm mod since it has more players and has standard titanfall rules and settings. as long as it doesn't take more than 5 minutes for queue I'm okay with it.

that being said being able to join a server in mere second via north star browser does seem inviting but idk how different game feels compared to vanilla titanfall with mm mod and if player count holds up okay.

anyhow. thnaks for info. pretty busy irl atm so didnt get a chance to test any of the three yet. did play singleplayer a bit months back and loved it.

northstar has some servers with "normal" game modes, while i would say the majority are with custom game modes like "gungame","one in the chamber/Sticks's stones" - which tbf are really fun to play. But not your typical titanfall experience with titans and pilots simultaniously. They do exists, but usually aren't very populated. The normal game modes are usually a diceroll on the ruleset they use (like no ARs, less points to win, more points to win, 12v12 (pretty unstable btw))

The main issue i have with northstar is that you have a smaller playerbase and u slap that on top of people leaving and joining midgame constantly, so your 6v6 lobbies are on average a 4.5v4.5 (at least that is my experience) - IF the servers fill up. It might be better when there are more people around but last time i checked (which was out of sale season) northstar was sittitng around like 100 players on average - very little variety in people (basically seeing the same 20 faces over and over and over and over and over and over and over).

And just fyi: you can play this game without a mod. right now it's even bearable with the lobby dcs cause you find games fast enoug.

i see. thx for info. guess i'll stick to mm mod then if vanilla dc's get too bothersome

no

ddos doesnt keep happening
google or get a degree or some schooling pls
they had a FLOOD which = dos not DDOS
take one d off..
that happens to all games from time to time, but never one with such low player count
there arent enough people pinging that server to be a ddos
if so you would see their other games and twitter new say its DOWN

I have no mod, the mods ive seen REMOVE STEAM
this isnt good..

please STOP saying ddos attacks
you make it out to be some hacker group shutting down the company.
thats ddos.
NO services, no games nothing its shut.

might wanna google better next time

age 45 tech here.
thanks for not helping

Its most likely from a bot farm so it would actually be a ddos and not dos.

Also the people who were dealing with it literally called it a ddos so you can argue with the devs.

[The Nothing Man]

its not on purpose
its called a flood dos
its not an attack,

BUT seeing how this link is 3 years old, and googling ddos attack
the attack happened in 2020
then it took them time to do what?
reboot everything? lol
2020- 2021 DDOS did happen
right now?
nope
its not a ddos, might want to link a date source next time but yes
they are faking ddos attacks to sell crap games before they go under
ubisoft did this too

hugs and please, read dates
there is no current ddos this was mended in 2021

ps no one is after EA only
just fyi
so this is inside no outside,
prolly one of the devs clicked on a popup box for p enlargement pills
and blamo
lol?

It is so absurd that we even have to ask this question of a billion dollar company like EA.

TitanFall 2 is literally the only multiplayer game I have that I can't fire up and play whenever I want, aside from those that have officially had their servers shut off. I can even find games of Battlefield 1943 or Battlefield 3 on PS3. I can find games of Killzone Shadow Fall on PS4/PS5. After over 9 years, BF4 servers are alive and well. Ive even been playing the original Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront 2 online.

yeah this is my point also
this DDOS happened years ago, and it was for ALL games not just titanfall 2
this is why I say this is a scam from EA
you read google phone news feed?
ive seen this

get titanfall 2 for cheaper than a hamburger
titanfall 2 is the lowest price its ever been and its ultimate

these are SPAM feeds that make me go.. swweeet
then I look, and no its a scam to sell before unplugging the game forever

I recent took ubi up on far cry 6, how bad could it be
they announced online function will be removed this year for that NEW game
also ZERO people for co-op ZERO
same deal

saw it in my feed
said 5$ for far cry 6
why not I say

get in there and wow, nothing works in terms of online
plus the game sucks.

this DDOS people keep spewing is not even recent.
long done and gone 2020-2021 q1 2022
that affected ALL EA GAMES
this.. this bs is due to everyone and their mom buying it for 3$
and only so much pool is given to games, the lowest titanfall 2 which sucks
idk if the MP is even fun!
I cant try it..
at all

Heard some issue regarding northstar about data safety. Is it true? I usually dont mind about some software collecting my data on some threshold. Asking this to make sure that my collected data is still on "okay" side of things (e.g: device specs, IP address, etc)

what do you think they want?
your torrent list?

here is the thing
even if you dont have net, MS is getting all that data even through your vpn
those do NOTHING for protecting you via os windows.

the lame workaround people are tossing, makes your pc vulnerable so dont use it.
youll see the lame command just dont use that..
morons claim it works!

do you KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID?
riight no they dont.. they just know the game works
its like DMZ your router so you dont have to port forward anything
bad idea

nvid and amd take Telemetry data CONSTANTLY
ms is taking msinfo and hw + software installed and or active esp win 11
WIN 12 is worse, I sit here with my ES copy with ES hw, and get ready for new hurt later this year.


so question really is...what data are you worried about that this would care to know?
cause MS already has all your data
so does your phone and google
hugs?

ps its prolly just AS safe as steam
meaning not..
so hugs?
