it's not generic but specific :), lz4 precompressor in xtool works on games that are either COD, or that use Unity, Frostbite and Dunia2 engine

Trying to compress Dark Souls Remastered with Xtool but when I put the game in pack folder and run pack.bat it starts for a second, detects 6000 files and correct size... then just crashes... any ideas? Tried Xtool 10 and 9 using default pack.bat (no changes made at all, just put the game into pack folder)

GAME: Batman Arkham Knight 1.6.2 Game+All DLC

@yasitha

just use zlib even though it reads lzo they come up as bad lzo when you try to compress the files

i am not certain... i get the same problem on the first injustice game as well.
i use uelr on it it tells me the lzo is bad just like on arkham knight.
Xtool lzo seems to have little to no effect on either game.
it will however work on the other batman arkham games oddly...

Love the XTool....

Hope New Update Come out Soon... :)

xtool 0.10 not work windows 7 x64.

Compressor v1.2.0:

Identically v.2.1 does not work:

I do not have a compression method with precomp. Compression stops at 11.6%. What is it? I'm using Compressor v1.2.0 and BlackBox v2 Designer. Other methods work.
And is it possible to add xtool to this compressor, if so, in what way?

Arc.ini:

I added all necessary libraries to the folder with the compressor.And without result.

Everything seems OK to me, you just need patience

I agree, everything is fine, just let me explain why the compression has stopped in place for almost two hours, the size of the game file has also increased from precomp. Example

800 mb: with mprecomp srep64 delta lzma64
700mb: msrep64 delta lzma64

Put these 2 dll's to your xtool dir:

u funny ).

Try replacing the libzstd.dll with this one

i done retesting xtool on large files dat far cry 5...
using xtool on multiple files at once like

[Dunia2]
File1=GAME\data_final\pc\worlds\farcry5.dat
File2=GAME\data_final\pc\patch.dat

seem to skip files (just copy)

using xtool on one file at time like

[Dunia2]
File1=GAME\data_final\pc\worlds\farcry5.dat

seem to work...
:confused:
using xtool 0.9 with setting
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:t4,v,c32m:lz4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

^Old problem. The same with oodle codec. It just copy files if you precompress all at once. File by file works. Output will be bigger in this case, remind this.

ok so using xtool 0.6 on far cry 5 with "precomp:t4:lz4 - - <stdin> <stdout>"...
test it on 2 files

[Dunia2]
File1=pack\data_final\pc\patch.dat
File2=pack\data_final\pc\worlds\farcry5.dat

size 26.2gb after xtool from 18.9gb :eek:

Update available

Changes

- updated dunia engine lz4hc precompression support

Development

The source is messed up pretty badly :D so if there are certain affected codecs, use the older versions, those should work because the only thing I did here was update lz4 codec specifically the dunia2 support.

Results

FC New Dawn:

You can just go ahead and run a test on the rest of the game, edit the ini file to add more dat files if some weren't specified

I only installed the game today, updated the source just so it could work for it, didn't run full test because I don't have space :D

can i skip
_feminine.dat * 0 bytes * .dat files?
i mean not include to xtool.ini?

Yes of course

Thanks bro.

I don't know but for me inflation just stops after a few percents if I took all files.

Can't Compress Far Cry 5 with new Xtool 011

File, one by one for testing it works...
but when i put all (.dat) files to xtool.ini files.
It takes 2h for decompressing, but actually it won't decompress files.. I don't know why.

Of anyone knows please share information..

so far What I've try,
I have check all files one by one, then i saw some files ratio 100% so i remove them from xtool.ini and,
all 0 bytes dat files too, then i have all 15 files and i try i though it works nope not working..

It seems xtool has a bug...

Please share if you know more information about this..

A little observation on the last XTool(v011) (Far Cry New Dawn)

can you please fix for Far Cry 5?

I have Try more then 5, 6 Different way to pack all files, nope can't do that. but File by file can.

I got sorted out my previous problem. Whenever I include the HD pack file, it doesn't work. I will try with only hd pack file soon (maybe too large input?).

Yes maybe we need to leave smaill ratio and hd files.
Small ratio like under 105% cause i think that what cause this problem... I've try everything but i didn't try that one.

I have tried without HD files but i didn't try with low ratio like unde 105%,

on full game 106% ratio is not right.

HD files have no compression at all.

Yes i have done all testing...the problem is
When i pack all dat files at once with xtool.ini
Ratio like103% / 106% / 107%

What is happening?
you know what causing this?

I have test all the files. one at a time,
Most of them have under 105% ratio. So finally i have 10 files but still 107% on all files but one by one ratio like 124% / 224% / 142% / 151%

If you could help I'll appreciate it ☺

I have use this settings for all test..
"xtool.exe e:precomp:c128mb,t8:lz4"

but still can't pack all files at once,
when i do that, i get only 107% Ratio that's it!

if anyone could find a way to do that?
We can just use xtoil for FC5... simple..

I tell this problem to KaktoR and
He's working on it.
he had the same issues.
Can't pack add dat files at once

================================================== =======================
================================================== =======================
================================================== =======================
================================================== =======================
================================================== =======================
================================================== =======================
================================================== =======================
i have leave 0 bytes files and none lzo,lz4 streams files
and under 105% ratio files. so that is why total files 10 :)

================================================== =========================
All (.Dat) files

I have tested aswell with FC5 now.

Output is way bigger if you unpack all files one by one then unpack all at once (keep archives).


Something is wrong :D

so this is xtool problem? :D

I don't know. Without doing math, average should be around 130% - 150% on all files.

I will try with xtool 0.6 (it was introducing dunia engine support).

Oky try it, i think we can reduce 8GB or 10GB... 🙂
If this works..

It's a known bug with FC5 files, it's discussed above many times. Until Razor takes a look at it, nothing can be done.

so how did you manage to pack the game?

anyone knows how to Pack Watch Dogs 1 and 2 using Precompressor? I jave try WD2 won't work..

Streams were used on game:
Watch Dogs 1 LZX
Watch Dogs 2 LZ4
