Titanfall 2 was released in 2016, 2 years after the first installment. The game this time was released on PS4 as well. Recently, EA has decided to launch their titles on Steam after quite a while. The release totally revived Titanfall 2 with over 10K players actively playing the game. According to some people reports, the game has issues on launch as the executable file doesn’t detect Origin launcher. The Titanfall 2 Launch Issues on Steam can be fixed with a simple workaround which can be found down below.

The game requires Origin launcher installed to be able to run the game in the first place. If you haven’t installed Origin on your PC the game will not launch and will give an error and ask you to install Origin.
