# Remove Sun Flares
## Preparation
Locate your game folder and find this folder if you are on Origin:
> Origin Games\Titanfall2\vpk\\
Or this folder if you are on Steam:
> Steam\steamapps\common\Titanfall2\vpk\\
Copy these files and paste them in a backup folder somewhere else:
* `englishclient_frontend.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk`
* `client_frontend.bsp.pak000_000.vpk`
For the next step you'll need the [Titanfall VPK Tool](https://noskill.gitbook.io/titanfall2/how-to-start-modding/modding-tools), a program which allows you to open and repack Titanfall VPK files.
## Unpacking
Now that these files have been backed up, navigate to your game folder and open this file:
> Titanfall2\vpk\englishclient\_frontend.bsp.pak000\_dir.vpk

## Editing
Sun flares are blinding and they don't really add much to the game when they are this pronounced.
It also occurs on Relic, Rise, and Exoplanet, to name a few.
To remove the sun flares, once you have extracted the frontend vpk, navigate to the `\particles` folder, and delete the following files:
`env_sun_red_dwarf.pcf`
`env_sun_haven.pcf`
`env_sun.pcf`
After you repack the vpk, you should be able to see without getting blinded.
## Repacking

After following the step by step in the previous link:
Rename `pak000_000.vpk` *to* `client_frontend.bsp.pak000_000.vpk`
Rename `pak000_dir.vpk` *to* `englishclient_frontend.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk`
Place the renamed files back into your game directory, and you will be able to see your results!
