If have to defer to someone who uses rar files, I prefer 7-zip myself.

The dll might need updating since the new rar super compression extension came out, I'm not sure.

Hmm. Odd, and yes the setting to use compressed archives is enabled. However is there a guide out there on how to recompress/pack rar files to .zip or .7z?

I finally got back to repacking everything to .zip (no big deal, as I let it process while I was at work and sleeping) and it works now but RAR support may be broken as it was working before. :/

Rar is the issue, not 7zip. :-)

If I had to guess it was that he's using a current version of winrar to compress them, and there has been a new compression standard released. :-)

The 7zip dll doesn't handle rar uncompression... or does it? If it does then maybe they removed rar support?

The 7-zip command line version included with GameEx should unzip rars. Like I said I replaced it with a newer version recently. Maybe something got broken, I need to check. Its 7za.exe in the GameEx install.

7-zip does uncompress rars, just not compress then.

I use 7Zip. However I used Peazip on my main computer to recompress everything to .zip and it works fine. It wasn't a huge deal. I don't have WinRAR on my spare computer and just 7zip (doubt latest version) and it opened the rar files fine.
