Thank you for the advice. Allow me to ask, how to know if a game uses oodle kraken, mermaid or others if the file is encrypted?

Check **shipping.exe with AES finder, then Xtool
-mue4(5):k(key)+kraken

Simply use xtoolui, make settings and go. Enable "Skip verification" to speed up the process, then you know what method to use. After this find out correct library, check "Stop after # streams" checkbox (personally I use 25-50).

Sorry if I ask again, is the meaning of “make settings and go” as dixen said?
