Thank you mausschieber.

Game version: v1.0.1.68304

Results with mkraken saved a tiny bit more disk space, which made a difference for me to be able to store some savegames.

Either one installs successfully in about 10-15 minutes.

I highly doubt this game use oodle compression at all. For all the bundle files try unity plugin with lz4/lz4hc with correct level and library.

[KaktoR]

use unity plugin with lz4hc codec, level 12 and lz4 library v192 or higher for all the bundle files.

Thanks a lot for compressor and installer. Everything works well. :)

Maybe you will get better results in using the correct library for compression.

Default library is v180 I guess. Try v192 or greater.

xtool:munity,lz4hc,l12:lz4_192+....

[Jarmen_Kell]

Thanks to Mausschieber for compressor and installer and to KaktoR for the compression method. :)
With this method not only compression size is smaller, but install time is shorter too!
