i've recently used dsg to make repacks and i've successfully made a few repacks with good ratio ending with RE4 with a compression ratio of 69%
but recently when i tried to repack Hogwarts legacy & Doom the dark ages, i first analyze pre-compressor using xtools as per KaktoR recommendation, and i've found streams using oodle kraken, i try to compress test files using xtools and i get decent rates like 70% or less, but once i get to DSG and apply same methods, it always gives me 90%+ rates no matter what i do:
- i've manually copied both

oo2core_9_win64.dll
oo2core_9_win64_2.dll

from 'xtool_0.7.9_hotfix\_libraries' to

i even reverted to DSG 2.0.2.0 and got the same results, even i used the saved database entries for doom eternal, tried to change 'oodleoo2core_7_win64.dll:core_2.7.1' to respective dlls as i think that v2.9.9 2.8.0, 2.8.14 gave fastest results over other dlls when i compared them in xtools library checker
i'll give further details of a sample file "gameresources_3_2_1.streamdb" @112mb from doom the dark ages:
-
using xtool 0.7.9_hotfix

method 'kraken:l9:n32:t256' + srep 5 + compression 10 = 70mb
|
-
using xtool 0.8.9, same method, i get 112mb
-
using both DSG 2.0.2.0 or 2.0.2.3,

mainly with method 'xtool:mkraken:9:dd5:l10' or 'poo2reck:9+4x4:b128mb:lzma:ultra:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc 1000000:128mb' i always get 112mb file
