-Running the game on fullscreen through Linux might lead to a black screen preventing you from launching the game. Edit your `ns_startup_args.txt` to include `-noborder -window` or edit `"setting.fullscreen"` and `"setting.nowindowborder"` at `<wineprefix>/drive_c/users/<username>/Documents/Respawn/Titanfall2/local/videoconfig.txt` to solve this.
+This problem is caused due to missing fonts on your Titanfall 2 wine prefix, you will need [winetricks](https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks) or [protontricks](https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks) depending on your installation. Follow these steps to install:
+
+1. Close all Titanfall/Origin processes.
+2. If you are using Lutris select your Titanfall 2 installation and click '▲' -> Winetricks. On Proton you can use `protontricks 1237970 --gui`
+3. 'Select the default wineprefix' -> 'Install a font' -> Check the packages `lucida` and `arial`.
+4. Click OK and wait for everything to install, if done correctly winetricks will popup again.
+5. You can now close it and launch the game.
