Repack From 45.8GB TO 23.7Gb
With Afr+afrpatch.dll by Razor
AFR + SREP + LOLZ
BUT You Should know afr has different headers with game files but afr repack and unpack well
I think afr need simple modify from razor to ac Odyssey
To get better ratio
Almost Odyssey such as origins in files

Xtool Dont Work For All Game Files Result as Srep+Lzma 29.4Gb
Xtool Work For one File of the game not Full Files

Repack ac Odyssey v1.0.2

mtb64m is wrong.
Anyway, Lolz calculates him as mtb512m.

Can you tell me lolz settings fast compress and good ratio?

How did you actually have AC Odyssey original size to 45,8gb? I just deleted all foreign stuff too but i get 46.5gb on it (700mb difference). Checked game and its working fine. Even only english is on 46.4gb (i usually let only spanish). Thats removing the files from sound and video folder.

Just finished this morning with lolz, it took 15 hours to compress. Im at home now, will create the installer and see how long it takes, will update in 1-2 hours the thread with my results, the ratio was very good (im using only 128 dictionary size on lolz, its faster on compress and decompress and also has a little size increase, i played with lolz settings in the past and for me using heavy configs are not worth).

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey

Here it goes, my repack using same method as on previous AC Games

Title: Assassin's Creed Odyssey (legit version)
Tools used: Ultraarc 2900 R5, Lolz, SREP, Binkpack, AFR
Method: Mask with AFR+SREP+LOLZ on .forge files/ Binkpack for .bk2 files & SREP+LOLZ on all other files. As a sidenote, im using lolz with d128 for this and origins, its fast and is good enough (at least for me)
Computer used: As always for compressions im using a 4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz on Boost) + 8GB Ram + SSD
Ripped files: Only foreign languages, original size is with only spanish files but there is not much difference if you keep only english or other language.

Info:

Code:

Original Size:   46.5 GB

Compressed Size: 23.4 GB

Compress Time:   15 hours (54066.10 sec)

Decompress Time: 1 hour & 10 minutes (maybe less, was doing more things

Extra Info:

Code:

Forge Files Original:   41.5 GB (After AFR 78.7 GB)

Forge Files Compressed: 19.3 GB

Other Files Original:   4.96 GB

Other Files Compressed: 4.14 GB

Needed Diskspace:       At least 200 GB free space

Final note: Using Binkpack is not worth but i used it to keep all AC Games on the same method, you will only gain 6-7MB. This game has only 6 little bk2 video files. On other hand it has over 600mb on .webm videos and i have no idea if its possible to compress them in any way. If someone has some idea for this .webm files it would be nice if you can share the info.
And sorry for the delay but i was kicking some asses on Odyssey, hell finally we have a fem character, just find fem asses better to look at when spending time on games xDDD.

Yeah, im using myself now d128 and mc1023 (on little games d64 and mc1023 because the gain is not much). Have tried in the past bigger dictionary sizes but the gain was not worth (much more time consuming). On lzma2 in other hand (thats what i used before i got into inno setup and ultraarc) the dictionary size was very important but it tooks a lot of time too. I think lolz is overall better compressor, maybe a little bit slower than lzma on compress times but on install times its nice and have almost better ratio.

Yeah, on first day its hard to understand everything but with brain and searching,testing itself and trying to understand how the stuff works its usually pretty easy.

As a final tip: When xtools fails you have ztools xDDD (works inverted too):p

This seems correct to me, i got something like 445xxxxx -> 800xxxxx too (looked at this at the morning and i can remember at least the first numbers hehe).

Thanks for doing it on lzma !!!
