Description

After installing Titanfall 2 via Steam, opening then closing the game, launching Northstar, then pressing "Launch", I get an error message that reads

Not yet implemented for "linux" with Titanfall2 installed via "UNKNOWN"

even though I have installed Titanfall 2 using Steam.

Steam installed via apt through contrib
sudo apt install steam-installer -y

Research direction

Reproduce the launch sequence on Debian GNU/Linux 13 with Titanfall 2 installed through apt-based Steam. Start by tracing how FlightCore identifies the Titanfall 2 installation when Launch is pressed and why the source is reported as UNKNOWN; done means the Steam installation is recognized and Northstar can launch.
