Evolve (.PAK)

Post by Splasher9 »

Hello there, Xentax veterans. :D

As you probably know there was an open alpha run of the game Evolve made by Turtle Rock Studios, which also made Left 4 Dead. Pretty interesting content though. It's been only an alpha, but if anyone already wish try to open game archives .pak files, here they are:

<removed due forum rules>

As i get it the developers promise to add content to the game gradually.

And here is some pics from the game, if someone is interested:

It's almost identical to Crysis 3.

So, it's a good news then, right?

I've tried Crysis 3 pak extractor, CryUnpack and PakDecrypt on archives, but it didn't work out. So I guessing we need some fixed crysis 3 bms script for Evolve. Maybe someone good with coding will give us a hand then.

I would also be interested in this. If we assume that it's just a different decryption key, is there any documentation/references for how the key was found for other cryengine games? I've got some RE background and might be able to work on this with a little background information to jump start the process.

From this topic viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9818&start=15:

>They keys (there's 16 of them) and IV are the PAK. But they're RSA encrypted with a fixed key (found inside the exe).

>As said Aluigi, author of quickbms, encryption key was stored in CrySystem.dll

Don't know, may help. If needed, I can upload any other files from alpha.

There's what looks to be a 140 word encryption key in Bin64_SteamRetail/StaticLauncher64.exe at the address $02B1D450, not gonna post it here because that's against the rules. Using that key in the Crysis 3 PakDecrypt just gives me 0kb zip files when they're extracted though, so I'm probably missing something else.

Because modified ZIP structure and modified XXTea Keys.

1) ASR yeK

2)

Code: Select all

XXTea_Delta = 0x9E3779B9;

XXTea_Keys:
sub     ecx, 4E0AD646h
add     eax, 1691828Dh
add     ecx, 1A09D20Ch
add     eax, 171B8BBCh

Ok guys,I'm new here ,I love this game and would love to get my hands on some of the sound files for ringtones and whatnot for ex
I have tried these so called .Pak extractors and the thing I noticed is these extractors don't work. It has to be something made for the specific game,I bet you all know this since I'm the noob here.

Is there a way or software that would let me view and open this games files? I was assuming since it uses cry engine the crysis extractor would work but that failed also.

Keeping an eye out for this since I cannot do anything by myself yet due to lack of knowledge.
Any help from you guys would be awesome and if I can help in any way let me know.

As far as I understood it is encrypted so there is no way to unpack it.

Isn't that true for most game releases nowadays?
Somehow people get around it.

As stated it's Cryengine 3, so you just need to recompile the PakDecrypter from Cryengine 3 (viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9818&start=30 ) but using the key Ekey provided. (and a small code change I guess per Item 2)

Anyone up to the task if it is not that hard as volfin mentioned?

I don't have VistualStudio or any suitable compiler installed and even if I did i have no idea what changes required anyway.

Yeah, agree with Kein.

I can barely into coding, so if anyone can help with the PakDecrypt for Evolve, will be grateful.
