  • #123
• Game repair functionality
  • Force reinstall Northstar
  • Button to disable all mods except core Northstar mods
  • Generate "system report" (OS, Titanfall2 install location, FlightCore version, etc)
  • Check filesystem permissions (we wanna look for admin owned files etc)
  • Northstar crash detection
  • CloudFlare blocking debugger (in particular make sure to check IPv4)

  • Do not show "Unknown version" when Northstar not installed but "Not installed"
  • #284
  • Try to launch Origin if not running instead of only showing error message

  • Linux specific
    • #383
    • Proton install from PlayView
    • Read output of ldd --version to determine use of nsproton (should be >=2.33) (#10)
  • Add some easter egg (e.g. pressing N 5 times displays hidden nessie maybe?)
  • Generate and upload log file on panic to Sentry
  • Bring back maximise button
• Security
  • Ensure when loading mod title, description etc from Thunderstore to escape HTML tags

This is a broad roadmap rather than a single implementation task; review the unchecked items and their linked issues, starting with the relevant UI areas such as ThunderstoreView, ModsView, and PlayView. Use tauri.conf.json and cargo.toml for application configuration, then choose one item with a defined scope and verify completion against its specific behavior.
