Launch directly from EA app rather than Steam

When using Titanfall 2 purchased through Steam inside Parallels, you may have issues with the EA launcher not working. The EA launcher automatically installs when you install the game through Steam, and when you launch the game with Steam, it is supposed to open the EA launcher in the background to open the game. For some users, this never works, and you end up back in Steam without the game running. To fix this, open the EA app manually to launch the game.

Launch directly through EA app
Install the game through Steam as normal Open the EA app directly Make sure you have an EA account and are logged in Make sure your EA account is linked with your Steam account if necessary. Launch the game through the EA app which should have Titanfall 2 installed

Alternatively, use the following hack to use Origin instead of EA app
Go to https://github.com/p0358/Fuck_off_EA_App, download the latest release. Install. Make sure to check "Pretend EA App is installed" option. If using Wine, open winecfg and override the dll for "version" to be "native, then builtin".

Disable Mirroring of Documents folder in Parallels

Save games and saved settings may not work with default Parallels settings because Titanfall 2 has a bug where it is unable to save files onto a different drive from the one the game is installed on. This affects Windows users who e.g. install the game outside of C:. For Parallels users, it means that if you have mirroring turned on for the Documents folder, nothing will ever save, including both game settings and single-player campaign saves. To get saves working, disable this setting in parallels:

Disable Mirroring of Documents folder in Parallels

Open the settings for your Windows 11 VM (hover mouse at the top of the screen, wait for Parallels bar to come down, click the gear icon) Go to Options tab Click on Sharing in the sidebar Untick Mirror Mac and Windows user folders (Alternately, you could use Customize to only turn off mirroring of the "Documents" folder, which is where Titanfall 2 stores its settings. Follow the instructions to log out, then back in so the mirroring takes effect. Launch the game and test that settings are persistent (change a video setting, then close and re-open the game, making sure it doesn't revert!)
