However your progress on official servers is not lost, so running vanilla client after playing on Northstar you should be back to your old level on official servers. -### Q: I get an error message saying "Player Not Found" or "Invalid Master Server Token" +### Q: I get an error message saying "Player Not Found" or "Invalid Master Server Token" <a href="#faq-playernotfound" id="faq-playernotfound"></a> These two errors can commonly be fixed for the average user by following the guide [here](installing-northstar/troubleshooting.md#player-not-found-invalid-master-server-token). "Invalid Master Server Token" can also be caused by the Northstar master server being offline, however this is normally not the cause of the error. -### Q: How do I open the console? +### Q: How do I open the console? <a href="#faq-devconsole" id="faq-devconsole"></a> A: Check [_Opening the console_](installing-northstar/using-northstar/commands.md#opening-the-console). -### Q: How can I check if my server is listed on the server browser? +### Q: How can I check if my server is listed on the server browser? <a href="#faq-is-my-server-listed" id="faq-is-my-server-listed"></a> You can use community-made server browsers such as: [https://taskinoz.com/northstar/](https://taskinoz.com/northstar/) or [https://cpdt.dev/northstar/](https://cpdt.dev/northstar/) -### Q: Will there be a console version? +### Q: Will there be a console version? <a href="#faq-console" id="faq-console"></a> A: No. -### Q: Does AI work?

Titanfall 1 for example is `r1`, Apex Legends is `r5`, etc.\ The reason this wiki for example is called `r2northstar.gitbook.io` is due to the fact that "_Northstar_" is a rather common name and as such often already reserved by other organisations and people. "_R2Northstar_" is both uncommon and therefore still available and ties "_Northstar_" with Titanfall 2, due to the `r2` part of the name. -### Q: Can I use a pirated/cracked copy Titanfall 2 to run Northstar? +### Q: Can I use a pirated/cracked copy Titanfall 2 to run Northstar? <a href="#faq-piracy" id="faq-piracy"></a> A: The answer is obvious, No! Northstar does not support piracy of any kind.\ If you want to use Northstar you'll have to purchase Titanfall 2 either from Steam/Origin/EA Desktop App or use a subscription service like Gamepass PC and EA Play. -### Q: Where is Frontier Defense? +### Q: Where is Frontier Defense? <a href="#faq-frontier-defense" id="faq-frontier-defense"></a> A: Frontier Defense is currently in development and will be available in a release when it's finished. -### Q: I get an error message saying something along the lines of "SSL connect error" +### Q: I get an error message saying something along the lines of "SSL connect error" <a href="#faq-ssl" id="faq-ssl"></a> A: We are unsure of what causes this, and are trying to figure out a solution for it.
