Description

To reproduce

  1. Select a valid Titanfall2 install (easiest is to fake one with just touch Titanfall2.exe in some directory)
  2. Manually create a new profile in there (e.g. mkdir --parents my-profile/mods)
  3. Select that Titanfall2 "install" in FlightCore
  4. Switch profile to my-profile
  5. You can no longer switch back to R2Northstar

Easiest solution would be to always consider have R2Northstar in the return of fetching profiles and always have R2Northstar be considered a valid profile.

Research direction

Start by tracing the profile-fetching and profile-validation paths involved when FlightCore selects a Titanfall2 install and switches profiles. Reproduce the sequence with a manually created my-profile and no installed Northstar profile. Done means switching back to R2Northstar succeeds even when Northstar was not previously installed.
