This is only for people whom have unpaked before or are willing to read a bit to accomplish it.
Ok thought I would throw out some info I had and hopefully others can/will share as well, to increase performance and prevent problems.
First off the programs you need are either G3Explorer or G3Pack, which I can't find a link for so I used G3Explorer.
It would be nice to find G3Pack so you don't have to manually make the directories for the unpacked files.

I found was 2 pak files you do Not want to unpak are Library and Workspace both very small so you wont gain anything and they cause GUI corruption well they did for me.
I have only just begun testing so I will update if any problems or benifits occur, but the biggest improvement I see so far is much smoother loading and renddering.
This fixes the Corrupted Console problem, so if you are intrested in just that fix you only need to unpack _compiledImage.pak then, _compiledImage.p00, then last _compiledImage.p01, last.
A note on the Console, so far haven't figured out how to add the missing Perks like Make Poison, Master Thief and Make Exploding Arrows.
Trying to add it via the Console give you a second blank (greyed out), it actually seems to add like stacking in the inventory, which is kinda weird.
I intend to try to add the missing Perks through ST or CH if those exist, this is my first chance to use the Console.
Also at least at this point Unpacking seems to have fixed Graphical corruption as well, though time will tell for sure.
So at this point;
Smoother Loading of Textures, Area Locations, AI and Shadows Mapping, i.e this refers to basic Shadows (turned off in the Main Menu).
Fixed Console.
Fixed Graphical corruption.
It takes maybe 30% longer to load for the first load but everything seems much smoother at this point.
