i was thinking of using lolz but it takes too long. i tried the xtool unity plugin but that didnt seem to help.

Your compression tools aren't incorrect here, I think this issue is because you are hitting the filepath limit in Windows.

This quick registry hack should fix it.

Also, do use the Unity plugin because afaik this game uses lz4 compressed bundles.

Just the small ones. All of the big files are not compressed it seems.

Code:

Compressed 1,762 files, 32,373,757,878 => 37,763,790,489 bytes. Ratio 116.65%

Compression time: cpu 14.59 sec/real 877.50 sec = 2%. Speed 36.89 mB/s

All OK

Could someone send me a small sample, like "chunk_0\prop.cpk", from "Star Ocean The Divine Force"?

Would be appreciated :)

fbz.exe => Blizzard v0.24b! Available from encode.su
piggy.dll -> https://github.com/kaby76/Piggy ??

Does anyone know what "cls-sndpack.dll" could be used for in some repacks? I came across it once, 3kB in size.

Good afternoon! I've been trying to get some info about best .wad files compression method in Batman Arkham Knight, but i've found very little info on web and nothing on fileforums site.
Is there any way to massively losslessy compress (and decompress) these files? I've tried almost every tool in Diskspan, but the only good compression mask seems to be to usual srep + lolz.
Tham you in advance!

I'd like to compress all .wad files, not specific files. So I don't know which file I can send you.
