Not possible, cause this DLC available only Deluxe Edition. So whoever had the standard edition don't have this DLC. I Have play the game and finish the game without any problem. 60FPS locked all times.

I have removed the DLC. befe o finish the game.

Run game as administrator and update the vga drivers and install vc 2017 on game folder which is new version.

I don't think that DLC is the problem... Something else.

Use zstdrec+xtool+srep+lolz

Don't use xtool+zstdrec

I get 51GB ratio like 176%!

if you use xtool+zstdrec, ratio going to be low, like 172%

I have test it,
that's why i know.

To your problem,
Download xtool_11 and zstdrec, then combine them
And edit pack.bat and add zstdrec+xtool to - m method.

Do you know right?

Then test only that big pak file. Youll get 51.065MB

zlib use c32mb chunk.

Which codec you are using in Xtool..

lz4

PS: According to this https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?...20&postcount=9 there is only a small difference (xtool did inflate the files up to ~160% or so If I remember right).
