If any key is needed, it prompts you at the start of the extraction process.

There's a script on Luigi's site, but there's also updated scripts which have better chance of working on cs forum (not entirely sure I'm allowed to link it for obvious reason). This thread contains long list of keys also.

@Joe you'll need to specify the key in order to decrypt/extract the pak - regardless if the full pak is encrypted or only Table of Contents.

All ue4 games run fine when their pak files are unpacked.

I had no idea all ue4 games run fine with the .pak files unpacked! Definitely keen to experiment with this!

When I say "all" there may be one or two exceptions, none that I can think of...

Before I figured out how to use XTool, I used to unpack the games

For sure there are expectations, but I was under the assumption that every UE4 title would only be able to read the .pak files and not unpacked files, I'm always amazed to learn things I'd never even considered to be possible!
