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 Toolarrow-up-right, 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.

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!
