Use XTool v2 for Dishonored 2 and Dishonored Death Of The Outsider:D ultra fast
4x4 UltraFast: 4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:192m or 128m or 64m:fb273:mc128:lc8
Lolz UltraFast:lolz:tt1:d64m:mtt1:mt*:mc2
lolz UltraBestRatio: lolz:dtb1:d192m:mtt1:mt*:mc1023:gm20 - It's as if at most 192M is even better than 512M.

Also c128m is enough for this game.;)

XTool 02

These files should not be with XTool.exe
libzstd.dll
liblz4.dll
lzo2.dll
oo2core_4_win64.dll

I Did these works and finally the conversion didn't stuck.

Dishonored 2

method:
xZLib+lolz:tt1:d64m:mtt1:mt4:mc2

I'd to replace this xtool v2 and remove those file from xtool directory of CIUv2 to compile the installer, if I didn't do this, I would get error code 11 while installing the game

Hello everyone,
and for Frostpunk (steam) please what is the best compression?
because I did not see this information in the forum.
cordially

KaktoR 20-12-2018 07:45

Should be zlib(xtool)+srep+lolz

first off the recoding of bk2 but it was not done to reduce quality just to solve errors with bpk compression i kept the same bitrate so the video is still lossless
also i took the 1080p and reduced it to 720p with the same bitrate
recoded bk2 to bik with a .bk2 file extension so the game recongizes it

When JustFun finds the time to do an Update .... he does a brilliant job of keeping the Index up to date and he should never feel pressured to have to do it, he does it in his own time when he wants to. ;)

I was interested in the new precomp_v047, to check different results with the old precomp_v046 on the files of the game you have compressed.:):cool:

Couldn't find precomp047. Could you share it?
