Infinite Loading

[buster5300]

Bug

Whenever launching Titanfall2 via Northstar or Viper it does not load. The game launches, however it is stuck in a state of seemingly infinite loading. It does not reach the main menu. I am also unsure if the crashlog I provided is related to the issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. There are no steps to reproduce this problem as far as I am aware besides launching the game.

Specifications

• Northstar version: v1.13.2
• Platform:

Anyone know what bink2w64.dll is? Is that the DLL that handles playback of .bik videos?

@GeckoEidechse I would assume so because it is allegedly associated with the Bink and Smacker software
@buster5300 Maybe repair your game and reinstall northstar, or use the -novid argument, because you might have a corrupted or invalid .bik file, which wouldnt be a northstar problem

Whenever launching Titanfall2 via Northstar or Viper it does not load. The game launches, however it is stuck in a state of seemingly infinite loading.

This is commonly caused by rpaks, try disabling any skin mods you have enabled and trying again

[EnderBoy9217]

Still, it seems more like an individual #help problem in the discord rather than a Northstar problem

Does this still happen on latest?

[ASpoonPlaysGames]

Yup, if an rpak mod is set up poorly
