Titanfall 2 Multiplayer under Linux
I do not seem to be able to launch Multiplayer under Linux, was it a thing that is still waiting to be resolved or Multiplayer was never intended for Linux?

DICE TeamHey, @Smith_Littlewood Titanfall 2 has been released for PC and is mainly aimed at PC while you can get it to work on Linux or Mac it's not supported on those platforms. So features as playing on Multi-player or start the game may not be working.

@EA_Atic Thanks for your reply.
I used to play in Windows and had been in the game for some 300 hours. I switched away from Windows about a year ago and had no intention to switch it back.
I really doubt I will see the light of the day where Multi-player will be playable in Linux in my lifetime. And I really hope that EA one day would recognize the Linux Community and could make most of their game compatible with Linux, too, with my finger cross.

- guess you were wrong about the "never seeing multiplayer work in your lifetime" part. Titanfall 2 multiplayer is working flawlessly on Linux as of wine version 4.19. It's my most played game by far and after i beat the campaign once I literally only play the multiplayer. I was actually shocked to find posts like this where it didn't use to work, because I've always had it work flawlessly but I didn't start playing until after Wine 4.19@gardotd426,thank you for the info. At the time I write this, Multiplayer in Titanfall2 does not work in Linux. Last time I checked with WineHQ for Titanfall2, it was rated Garbage (It is still). I am glad to hear that Wine 4.19 can now play Titanfall2 Multiplayer.
However, a recent event on BF5 that ban Linux players who only use DXVK and Wine with no cheat were called cheaters by EA. I understand Titanfall2 system and BF5 are different, which probably will run smooth in it and would not be wrongly accused as cheater using wine in Titanfall2, but I felt that I cannot accept EA behaviour in BF5. Until EA can remedies Linux users situation, I will probably not going to use EA software at all.
