Yes, the BSA files contain dds images, wav audio and mp3 streams and this can be solved with msc - but this brings the conversion to 5.7GB. The files are full of zlib streams, making xtool a fine choice.

Note: Using a chunk size of 128m in XTool causes it to get stuck eventually. I used default size 16m and everything ran smooth :)

Metro Exodus

Code:

vfxrec+srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000



13:08:09 - Starting Archive Creation. 

16:32:45 - Archive Creation Complete. 



Input Size: 75.04 GB. 

Output Size: 50.98 GB.

PS: At least content_07_sounds_XX.vfs0 and patch_02_sounds_uk.vfs0 contain ogg streams. Compress with oggre is easy, decompress is tricky.

Example for patch_02_sounds_uk.vfs0

Code:

Compressed 1 file, 638,939,169 => 522,221,038 bytes. Ratio 81.73%

Compression time: cpu 1.02 sec/real 220.64 sec = 0%. Speed 2.90 mB/s

All OK



Extracting 1 file, 638,939,169 bytes. Processed 100%

.....

....

..

Extracting just like forever, output is after 5 minutes over 10GB in size, so obviously broken.

Another one with lolz:dtb1:mtt1:mt6:d128m:mc1023 instead of 4x4:lzma

Code:

20:57:01 - Starting Archive Creation. 

11:24:34 - Archive Creation Complete. 



Input Size: 75.04 GB. 

Output Size: 47.92 GB.

NieR:Automata Game of the yorha edition

Quote:

Game does contain crilayla but the files compress very well under srep etc you only get a 1 to 2 gig size difference wich is really in my opinion not worth the time it takes to decompress

Method nothing ripped or recoded

*.dds + *.png + *.pdf & rest files - xtool+srep+lolz

Install size: 38 gb
RePack size: 21 gb

NOTE.
1. For decompress files with xtool - need 11 gb free space (2.9 > 10.5 > 3.3 > 1.2 gb)
2. I used middle level for lolz - mtt1 -tt1 -mt4 -mc12
