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, 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

How to repack VPK files properly?

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!
