I will post my result i got after these 2 days but sure i will look closer to it in a week, im just tired of this game for now.

                 binkpack on *.bk2 files

Fileslist: On this files you can use the reflate method

/base/game1.resources
/base/game1_001.resources
/base/game1_002.resources
/base/game1_003.resources
/base/game1_004.resources
/base/game2_001.resources
/base/game2_002.resources
/base/game2_004.resources
/base/game3_001.resources
/base/game3_002.resources
/base/game3_003.resources
/base/game3_004.resources
/base/game4.resources
/base/game4_001.resources
/base/game4_002.resources
/base/game4_003.resources
/base/game4_004.resources
/base/shared_2_3.sharedrsc

This files inflates but get error on installing:

/base/game2.resources
/base/game2_003.resources
/base/game3.resources

If there is a possibility to make something with this file, the game can get
to the 20-21gb total size. I tried it but nothing worked.

As said, im too tired of this game to make more tests, maybe next week i will try some more things and come up with a better method but for now i will not see this game for some days hahaha.

why don't you use ztool or xtool
