Guys, this video showcases how to open NON-ENCRYPTED PAK files that are coming with the Game SDK's Sample Project..
(This comment is for those who don't understand the video.)

[@lazychief69]

Im guessing .pak files are diffrent depending on the game because this didn't work for me.

Cannot open with 7Zip, cannot be archived.

[@cryengine]

Any zip tool can open non-encrypted CRYENGINE .pak files. This video is specifically showcasing how to open non-encrypted CRYENGINE pak files such as those shipped with the GameSDK Sample project.

[@bsatyam]

@@cryengine If that is the case, then it should be clearly mentioned in the title that this is only for non-encrypted CRYENGINE .pak files.

[@tripylsd]

really need a 2:40 video to explain "open it with 7zip"?

[@Ohmman]

yes, because I didnt even think of using 7-zip, and some people that might be new to a lot of this could use a push.

[@archo_tech]

115 thousand people need help with this so yes.

[@JHC144]

Dose not work.

[@cryengine]

Hey there, please be aware this does not work for encrypted PAK files. PAK files from published games are usually encrypted to prevent extraction and protect their intellectual property.

Same here, and tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked. :|

[@johbowfor]

For some reason, I cannot open any .pak file with 7zip. error screenshot: prntscr.com/crmc8o

[@cryengine]

This is because the GameSDK sample is being used by War of Rights for development but the pak files they have encrypted for distribution of their game to protect their intellectual property.

[@johbowfor]

Well darn it, thanks for the vid though, appreciate it.

CRYENGINE .PAK files are unrelated to android APK files.

[@OGStevenKollar]

Apk is android phone

[@Playglot]

I think it does work with WinRAR also. Isn't it?

[@cryengine]

WinRar can also be used but keep in mind 7zip is a fully free package so no upgrades for advanced functionality. Or trial messages.
