F1 2018 + dlc
 
Two methods for this game, this game can get even lower to the 14.8-15.0 GB ripping all promo,tutorial and credits videos (its safe) but as always i dont like rip ingame content.

Code:

Title:          F1 2018

Compress Time:  8 hours (28855.14 sec)
Install Time:    14 minutes

CRC Checked:    Yes

Note:
Binkpack doesn't work with this game, all bk2 need to be recoded first with
video rad tools to .bik files. I used a compression ratio of 75% for this.
After converting all .bk2 files to .bik files, delete the original files and
rename the created .bik files to .bk2. Now binkpack is safe to use.

Mass Effect 3: Complete Edition
 
To compress this game at this size you need to use first a modding tool on it. The game works fine with the DLCs unpacked, so dont worry about repacking the SFAR files. The advantages on this is that you get about 5-6GB better ratio on compression and also the game is mod ready without having to unpack the DLCs later. The disadvantage on this is that the install size for the game is about 5GB more (not much really).

Code:

Preparation:

1. Download and install ME3Explorer from nexusmods (Google it)
2. Open ME3Explorer and on the 1st Step set up the path to your ME3
3. On the 2nd step click on "Unpack DLCs", this can take up to 1 hour
4. Now you can close ME3Explorer and go to your DLC folder.
5. Delete all foreign languages, be carefull, best thing is to search for
"_DEU." to remove all German files, "_FRA." for French and so on. INT is English
6. Now you can proceed to the compression method

Code:

Title:          Mass Effect 3: Complete Edition
Version:        v1.5.5427.124 (incl. all DLC's)

PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 16GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:    Foreign Languages in DLC files

Original Size:  19.2 GB (30.2 GB after unpacking DLC´s)
Ripped Size:    24.7 GB (Ripped after unpacking DLC´s)
Compressed Size: 8.18 GB

Method:          BPK+Srep:m3f on *.bik files
                xZLib+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
                                                 
Compress Time:  3 hours 51 minutes (13856.50 sec)
Install Time:    10 minutes

CRC Checked:    Yes

Note: Crc is fine but one readme file "léeme.txt" is missing due to sintax,
dont worry because its not necesarry. This happens to many games on UA.

I'm writing Steam Version because it's 2.5GB bigger than GOG version due to the patch folders, which GOG version doesn't have.

total compression time: 30 minutes

created files
wolfpaw-1.bin.001
wolfpaw-2.bin.001
wolfpaw-3.bin.001

uncompressed size: 6.06 gb
compressed size: 5.12 gb

*note: the reason i use wolfpaw-#. is because i wanted my repack filenames to be unique, plus my selfrun and founded repacker name title is 'Wolfpaw Gaming Studios Repacks'. I even made a splash for it ^^ some of the other repackers who i will not list names of due to forum rules use unique naming schemes also. just wanted to be original and different :D
also, following a recommendation from another forum user, I split my game repack temp files into several folders and place the files there, since certain file types compress better than others, then encode each folder with diskspan seperately, then rename the files according. for example, i put the agarest generations of war WMV movies in a folder by itself with the folder structure retained. eg, c:\games\agarest generations of war 2\s16\ s16 being the folder the videos are stored in, then compress the movies seperate from the other file types. I then change the name of the output file for that video folder to wolfpaw-1.bin.001. then rename the files generated from the folder with the compressed .bra files in it to wolfpaw-2.bin.001 and wolfpaw-3.bin.001 respectively.*

PSA: I use 3 different types of compression methods because i have my game repack temp files split up into several folders to both cut down on compression time and also to single out files in the install that are not compressed well by some of the methods yet compress well with others. for instance, i use lzma on the movie files and i use msc+lolz on the .bra files since they contain raw data and DDS textures. i should have specifed in my post that i have multiple diskpan batch commands save for each folder or 'D' <for disk> i am compressing :)

also, K4mikaZe, i fixed my post. i had a few typos in my compression methods. the post is fixed now ^^

** also, warning for all of you who use diskspan's batch script and or UA 2.9.0.0 Final: msc or media streams compressor, has a rare but random glitch when compressing/deinterleaving mp3 and some dds files, especially if they're in a for the most part non-accessible packed container, such as agarest's .bra files - though you can extract Agarest GoW 1 .bra files with quickbms, though some games wont extract with it. - the glitch is that when installing a game you made with CIU, whether you're unpacking the files made with diskspan or UA, some files will cause the installer to halt. no errors, no crashing, it will just stop installing but will not give any indication anythings wrong. i've had this happen with 2 games so far, syberia 1 and agarest generations of war 2. syberia 1 had 1 mp3 that glitched up with MSC and the installer just stopped processing and 'hung' on that one particular file, mphone3.mp3. Agarest GoW 2 halted on s19.bra which was a 73 mb file and the installer stopped processing and hung on that one file. i have only encountered this error with these 2 games so far, and only with this compressor. for GoW 2, what i did was i moved the s19.bra file into a seperate folder to be repacked as msc did not have any issues with the other files for some weird reason. then on the last folder i didnt use MSC. will report back when compression finishes and i will report if it froze or not. **

*** Post Edit
Confirmed. it was the MSC compressor. I tried moving the s19.bra file and a few others to a seperate folder then recompressed it without using MSC and the install went flawlessly. so watch out for certain files/file types. Theres no way to tell if a file will or will not be compatible with MSC, its just trial and error. ***

@Kitsune1982, i think you have many faults on the lolz settings. dt6? mc2023? dt is only 0 or 1 (active or inactive), mc max is 1023 (from 1 to 1023). I think you mean maybe mt6 (threads) and mc1023?:rolleyes:

Yeah, its curious hehehe. Maybe there is something missing and this are 3 methods and not only 2 (i mean 3 different methods for 3 different file types).
