Update "Lutris (Wine)" with more recent info
The wiki mentions Origin which (afaict) is now deprecated by EA. Also, the EA App's overlay causes Northstar to hang, which isn't mentioned in the wiki.
If you want, I can also modify the article to mention this lutris script https://github.com/begin-theadventure/lutris-scripts/tree/main/lutris-scripts/Northstar/EA%20App, although I didn't need it for setting up Northstar.

I would personally do this, I've been meaning to but never have. I think having the scripts easily accessible on the wiki page is better than the majority of Lutris users that need this script and have to ask in the discord for someone to send the tag for it
Done for now. Should I keep the mention of the official Lutris script or do I remove it?

You mean this one? https://lutris.net/games/titanfall-2/ Honestly no idea how well it works as I've never used Lutris. Maybe @CooldudePUGS or @stygia-dev can chime in on that ;)
Also as a sidenote, please don't force push. We squash merge branches anyway, so any "fixup" or "revert" commits will be cleaned away on merge. Force pushing makes it more difficult for a reviewer like me to see what the changes were ^^"

No this is for vanilla and doesn't usually work for people for Northstar (from what I see from helping at least) The issue is im not entirely sure how the NS script works. I didn't think it installed the game again and instead just installed Northstar but I honestly don't know. Would be 5 hours before I could test, and asking the creator makes it seem like it reinstalls but im not entirely sure

Remove it. If we're going to fully support Lutris going forward as an alternative to Proton, we should be suggesting begin-theadventure's script, so long as it actually installs Titanfall2 with it.
Added the typo fix and removed the official script. Tbh I haven't tested begin-theadventure's script, but it pretty much does the same thing as the official one except it adds a dll override for wsock32 and removes ActivationUI.exe from ExcludeProcesses
@CooldudePUGS @stygia-dev if any of you says this looks good after changes, I'm happy to merge ^^
So do I apply stygia's suggestions or do I leave it as is?
I would leave as is (sadly) People still love to cling to Origin for whatever reason and keeping it mentioned removes the small chance it confuses someone still using Origin
As far as I know, Origin is pretty much dead and can't be used. However I made a somewhat duplicate pull request on #194

There are workarounds to make Origin continue working (annoyingly enough).
