+## Troubleshooting
-## Fullscreen issues
+### Blank console
-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 wine prefix, fix it by following these steps:
+
+Lutris:
+1. Close all Titanfall/Origin processes.
+2. Select your Titanfall 2 installation and click '▲' -> Winetricks.
+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.
