How to unpack something specific from the .pack files
There seems to be some issue for steam users while specific or unpack all the data from the .pack files.
This issue was resolved by RubiconDecision, how to:-
Right click on the game within the Steam library.
Go to properties.
Click on local files.
Click on verify integrity of game cache.
It will take a little while. If there are errors then it deletes the local content, and re-downloads it from scratch.

Cheers Ishan, just to clarify when I say want to extract The dismounted norman knight tga file I would use this?
unpacker --source=..\..\packs\*.pack --destination=c:\packs\ --filter=#dismounted_norman_knights.tga
But when I then click on the .bat file there is nowhere where I can type yyy, its just continuous reams of text?

Yes that's the way to do it if the filename is correct it will be extracted otherwise simply put *.tga and it will give you all the .tga files there are in the game.
y means yes it's a confirmation it will ask you three times you either type y 3 times or a single yyy to avoid annoyance.

Re: How to unpack something specific from the .pack files
Thanks for attaching a screenshot, says it can't find the pack files and it looks like you got the unpacker in the main directory not sure that's the reason for it.
Re: How to unpack something specific from the .pack files
See that file in Caps .dll one, copy paste that file (from the main directory of the game) in the unpacker folder as it's required for the unpacker.exe to run.

Atleast it unpacked so we are getting there.
If the folder is not created there then i think windows is playing with you check the Virtual store folder found in C:\Users\Your user account name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
or else do a search for .dds files in your computer.
