PS: My installation is only 42.3GB with only 1 language.

It didn't work for me too.
I tried both method (xtool and pzlib)
it was very slow and it showed197 hours remaining so I canceled it. any new setting?

Dishonored 2 is a real pain, the only method that works is using latest ZTool and its important to use it with chuncksize 256m or it will not work (crc errors on installation). Its slow, seems sometimes that it freezes but let it go for some hours (takes about 8-9 hours only on ztool, maybe more on slower systems).

For xTool i downloaded the official zlib dll (but one of razors test dll works too, the test2 or test3, cant remember now) and its faster. That was the reason why i didnt post the full method of the game on Xtool, because there are more steps then just using xTool.

Also my ripped size is less then 41gb (didnt touched the game again with the new updates hahah)

To be sure, use ztool, its slow but its finally doing it (even if its seems to freeze sometimes, its going faster later)

Even 4x4:lzma takes a long time. This game is a pain indeed.

I have abortet xtool and never touch it again on this game. :D

Will keep 2xBD25's then for all of the three games.

Yeah i spend many days on it,even done before a reflate method in dirty way (it was my nightmare hahaha). Do you remember that i send you a pack for xtool on private on these days? If you have it, it has the official page .dll that i used some weeks later.

Also it works perfect on ztool, dont be scared if it says 200 hours, its because it freezes a bit and is slow inflating the whole game. I think that with latest updates it can take 10 hours only on ztool but at least it will install fine and is fast on installation.

@KaktoR, K4miKaZe
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

thanks to Razor12911

On DotO it's the same. 6 hours and 5,1%.

KaktoR 17-12-2018 00:07

I will try with provided xtool 0.2 on D2 now

Well, for me, the DotO compressed time was about 3 hours.

XTool 2

K4miKaZe 17-12-2018 00:22

Simorq, is that v2 the test v2 from the dev forum of xtool? It was the version i used later and it was fast but also downloading the zlibwapi from the official page and replacing it on xtool v0.9 works too and is also fast. The only issue i had was that with chunksizes c32/c64 i got crc errors on extraction. Didnt try c128 but c256 worked as on ztools (with the difference that it only tooks some minutes on xtool).

Kaktor, yes, same story for DotO (only that this one tooks a bit less hehehe).


Im scared to make this game again with the last update, had never so much problems hehehe

KaktoR 17-12-2018 00:22

Ok after 20 minutes it's on 2.8% with XTool 0.2 (t100p,c128m) for D2

If it's not finished in 6 hours i will delete this crap :D

Simorq 17-12-2018 00:25

Razor12911 released version 2 for the D2 and DotO games and is stable for these two games.

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

KaktoR 17-12-2018 00:43

And it get stuck again on 2.8% (45 minutes now).

I have canceled it now and go with srep+lzma. Will go for 2xBD25
