I wonder witch method Fitgirl uses to compress this to 16GB. I could only compress it to 23.5GB. :(
Until now!

[wareck]

hello
there is some *.sig files probably encrypted .pak

I managed to get it down to 19/20 GB, but it's not reliable; I'm getting CRC decompression errors.

I'll try with another approch today.
let me check

[wareck]

Hello
I probably find a start of solution ;)
pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor.pak if full of wem files who are riff wave.
can be extracted then processed with MSC.
theses files reduce the files size to around 17gb ;)

I finish encoding and give my solution

[KaktoR]

Without having any of the files, I think there is no need for extracting the files if they are really in riffwave pcm format.

If the files are compressed just precompress and then use msc.

[wareck]

here the sample
https://mega.nz/file/P8oACYZb#PinyTb9ZugNIOeVo2iMZx1mi_H766r_xA2oXfuu18 e4

[KaktoR]

Looks like you should not use raw and wav detection together with single msc instance, which leads to unpacking errors.

[wareck]

I finaly use an another way

Hey dude, What should we do with this file?

[wareck]

Thanks a lot for compressor and installer and conversion methods of course! Everything works well. :)
