| I see. You renamed your flare so, instead of it being flare.png, its flare.png.png. Rename the files so its just "flare" and "lens_flare"

| Okaaay I'll give it a try like right now 
Unfortunately it still appears as squares...
There's one option left before I have to get back the original files from the archive and that is about the ''exitscreen'' file. Because the file in my folder looks exactly the same as a square star. Lol imagine gravity made everything squarish hahahaaa
Anyway do I have to remove this or not? Sorry for the dumb questions but doing all this with ADHD is veeery confusing unfortunately

| Reinstall the original files, then repeat installing my mod, except don't put the .png into the filenames. If that doesn't work... then give up, lol
Also, send a screenshot, I wanna see what your SE in-game looks like

| But before I do that. I wonder about my ''exitscreen'' file. Because it looks exactly the same as the square star I just showed you. Can I remove this without any problems and try it out? If so I would really like to try that. If that... however doesn't work I'll try your guide and if that's not enough I'ma throw my computer out of da window (lol joke)
Anyway thanks for your support once again

| The exitscreen is just a picture, it does nothing.

| Hahahaaa
Veeery funny xD
However I would prefer if you could make the flares bigger while turning on Auto Exposure
They look a bit too small in my opinion.
Perhaps it would be cool to have the same size as Auto Exposure OFF in Auto Exposure ON 
But yeah it looks really great

I wish I knew how to do that.

It is impossible. You have to optimize your flare for one method or the other. If you want to make a flare that looks good with Auto Exposure off, then you need to have the flare occupy a much smaller portion of the texture. But then to maintain the level of detail, the texture itself would need to be much larger (the same size flare on a 4x larger canvas would be appropriate).

| By the way what are these supposed to be? o.o
It's appearing when I turn on my lens flares...
@HarbingerDawn: So do you think it's possible to maintain the same lensflare size as in Auto Exposure OFF into Auto Exposure ON?

As anonymousgamer stated in his description for the mod, those ghosts are supposed to represent dust on the lens.

No. That is why I said "It is impossible".
