macOS Compatibility

Compatibility layer Rating Notes
CrossOver Perfect Singleplayer can run at 40-60 FPS at 1080p, multiplayer can achieve high framerates with all settings turned down. Required Origin fix to run.[1]
Wine Unknown
Virtualization
Parallels Perfect Singleplayer is fantastic on M1 Macbook pro. Playable at low framerates on normal M1 Macbook Air, where is may require setting exe compatibility to Windows 8.[2][3]

Parallels issues fixed

Without this fix the game will not launch correctly.

Set compatibility to Windows 8
  1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\EA Games\Titanfall2
  2. Right-click on Titanfall2.exe
  3. Click Compatibility tab
  4. Check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and set to Windows 8
  5. Run the game

When using Titanfall 2 purchased through Steam, you must install the EA Origin game launcher and open it through there rather than Steam:

Launch through Origin
  1. Install Origin: http://www.dm.origin.com/download
  2. Log in with an EA account
  3. Link your EA account with your Steam account if necessary.
  4. Launch the game through Origin which should have Titanfall 2 listed
