I looks like I came across a post that could not be unpacked by UE.
It unpacked fine with Winrar 5. Can UE unpack that new RAR5 format? If not, is it possible to add the support for it?

it takes more time than expected, in the new unrar 5.0 source code backward compiler compatibility is broken, then it runs by default 32 threads (it is what new rar 5 format is about maybe 1.5 times faster at the price of running many threads) and it appears to unrar older rar format files twice slower, so i'm digging a bit deeper to adjust their code.

it is being released shortly, i've replied in the development section, just it required some work to add it properly so it took time.
