Try VanillaPlus.
Video tutorial.

Previously, when there was no VanillaPlus (without).

  1. Download Northstar v1.12.7, newer versions currently cause an issue.
    Only Northstar.dll needs to be replaced with the one from v1.12.7, in the Titanfall2 folder.
    Backup the latest Northstar.dll and use it if you want to play on Northstar servers.

  2. Steam or/and Origin/EA App launch options: -norestrictservercommands -profile=R2Vanilla.

  3. The console will be empty, for example, so to fix this, we need to create a mod.

    Mods will be in path/to/Titanfall2/R2Vanilla/mods.

    Northstar.resource (folder):

    mod.json:

    {
   "Name": "Northstar.resource",
   "Description": "Restores some UI stuff in Vanilla without breakage",
   "Version": "0.0.0",
   "LoadPriority": 0,
   "ConVars": [
   ]
}

    Northstar.resource/mod: create a shortcut (symlink) here from path/to/Titanfall2/R2Northstar/mods/Northstar.Client/mod/resource.

    Another good mod to have is Auto Matchmaking.

  4. Play.

    Note that not all mods work in Vanilla.
