This folder contains the data used by Steam in order to make games function using Proton (assuming you're using Proton for said game). +This folder, however, sometimes has issues with launching Northstar. + +It is recommended you close Steam before this. Deleting this folder then attempting to launch Northstar with NorthstarProton again _should_ fix the issue. Steam will generate another `compatdata` folder for Titanfall2 automatically. + ## EA App blank window If you have already logged in to EA App with Proton Experimental, the blank EA App should not prevent you from playing Northstar. However, if you find that it does or if you simply wish to use the EA App, the following should resolve these issues. |
