SREP memory, reduced to 25% settings, solve it the problem? (and dont use SREP 3.93, replace this v3.92.)

Don't mind the input sizes. It's because DSG is taking input size before last call action.

hello
Forza Horizon 6 it's *.minizip files who make the mess.
there is a crc error if you try to pak it too much.
use xtool with zlib for theses files
(xtool:mzlib:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL) will do the job.

.zip files can be compressed with xtool and reflate to have a better ratio.
But you lost the benefit of srep all the files.

I've juste start a test with .zip and .minizip files in the same data block
xtool:c64mb:mzlib:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL.

I'll see how many % i'll gain...

Why not use zlib+reflate on both files?

If zlib fails xtool will use reflate.

i don't know why, reflate makes decompress fail 99% of time with the big .minizip

Do you have a sample?

Edit: Nvm

they are big 36 and 46 gb
With the 4 other files no problem (I made some test)
I try to make a sample tomorow

edit: my night test zlib+reflate=> uncompress error at 30.9%
I'm doing an another test with .zip crypted in an another data

I used zlib+reflate so that might be the reason behind the error

use zlib+preflate then. for preflate you don't have to specifiy level, although it is a bit slower then reflate.

The same procedure as in every other ue5 game.
