@dodi

use gdeflate

Code:
Compressed 1 file, 147,942,700 => 282,100,204 bytes. Ratio 190.68%
Compression time: cpu 0.11 sec/real 5.03 sec = 2%. Speed 29.39 mB/s
All OK

Extracted 1 file, 282,100,209 => 147,942,700 bytes. Ratio 190.68%
Extraction time: cpu 0.06 sec/real 7.19 sec = 1%. Speed 20.58 mB/s
All OK

Frostpunk 2

kraken is used, no key

Also looks like you can rip chinese language out if you want. I played a bit with ripped language and it's working until now.

How to:
Use quickbms + unreal_tournament_4_0.4.27e_paks_only.bms script and extract only WEM and BNK from "pakchunk0-Windows.pak" (make a backup of this file).

Go to extracted folder and delete all files you want to keep (only keep Chinese files/folders).

Zero all files inside extracted folder
Code:
FOR /R %%a IN ("*.wem") DO (fsutil file setzerodata offset=0 length=%%~za "%%a")
FOR /R %%a IN ("*.bnk") DO (fsutil file setzerodata offset=0 length=%%~za "%%a")
Use quickbms reimport feature
Code:
quickbms_4gb_files -w -r "unreal_tournament_4_0.4.27e_paks_only.bms" "pakchunk0-Windows.pak" "pakchunk0-Windows.pak_extract"
I tested unpacking the modified pakchunk0-Windows.pak again and all chinese files are zero'd still.

In any case make backups! Any patch for this game is forcing you to redownload pakchunk0-Windows.pak if you don't have a backup.

Hello KaktoR
Can you share the tools you use?
Is it possible for you to make a video on how to make the last request?

Yeah use latest xtool version
libraries are required
gdeflate.dll + (dstorage.dll) + (dstoragecore.dll)

()* not sure, one of them are required or both.
