Update troubleshooting.md (#112)
* Update troubleshooting.md Updated "File corruption", as the earlier version said updating to 1.4.0 is the fix, while still providing a list of fixes unrelated to updating Updated "Unable to play campaign", as a better fix was found, also changed some wording for it * Update troubleshooting.md * Update troubleshooting.md I learned that file corruption can still occur, and actually require verifying files. I updated the section to include an article on how to verify game files as well, for those who are confused on it. * Update troubleshooting.md Updated the wiki to include a small section on verifying game files, instead of another website's guide. * Update troubleshooting.md Fixed my own mistake where I didn't indent twice * Apply suggestions from code review

-Don't panic! This warning seems to be caused by Origin and none of your files are actually corrupted. If you get this warning after launching the game try the following steps, closing the game before and launching it again after:
-
-* Make sure you got the newest version of Northstar. In particular, [v1.4.0 or higher](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases/) have this problem fixed.
-* Restart Origin\
- Also check task manager that all Origin processes are gone before restarting it\
- (even if you have the Steam version)
-* Restart your PC
-* Start Northstar with Origin already open
-* Start Northstar with Origin fully closed.
-* Start vanilla game and see if this works.\
- If vanilla doesn't work either, check [this thread on EA forums](https://answers.ea.com/t5/Titanfall-2/Titanfall-2-Wont-Laumch-DLL-file-issue/td-p/5660909)
-* Check [this issue thread](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/issues/6) to see whether any of the solutions proposed there work for you.
-* Verify game files via Steam/Origin (depending on where you own the game)
-* Check Github issues if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Maybe current release has a bug.
+Don't panic! This warning isn't as serious as it seems. It's simply an incorrect error message caused by Origin/EA App. If you get this warning after launching the game, try updating your Northstar install to the [newest release](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases), as this error was mostly resolved in version `v1.4.0`.
-If you followed all these steps and even launching the vanilla version of the game doesn't work, your final option is to fully remove the game and reinstall it.\
-Then checking if vanilla works before reinstalling Northstar.
+If that doesn't work, you should verify your Titanfall2 files. If you're confused on how to verify files, follow [this](troubleshooting.md#verify-files) guide.
