*.SPK from Steelrising are just zip files with what appears to be no compression. I cannot speak for the larger packs but the locales zips have data just stored.

Compressing datapc_initial.spk

Compressed 1 file, 10,852,967,682 => 18,870,379,505 bytes. Ratio 173.87%
Compression time: cpu 9.08 sec/real 215.30 sec = 4%. Speed 50.41 mB/s
All OK

Files compressed zlib inside SPK

All SPK
66.5 gb > 116 gb.

Question.
datapchighres.spk - is optional data or not?

Nope, game is made in same engine as Greedfall. The file datapchighres.spk is basically the whole game data.

Really? After all, the game works fine without these files. Especially on weak systems like mine

Really? I did not expect that. If you rip the highres file in Greedfall the game becomes unplayable
