Baldur's Gate 3

[Jarmen_Kell]

Thanks a lot to Mausschieber and KaktoR, it finally worked!
I don't know why the compressor didn't make conversion log. Anyway, input size was 121GB and output size is 78GB in 18DVDs in about 4 hours with LZMA-MT for Data1. Install Time: 00:30:43 (HDD on HDD).

But installed folder size is NOT the same as the source.
Compressor avoided these files:
- {Game Folder}\Data\Localization\Voice.pak (4.79GB)
- {Game Folder}\Data\SharedSoundBanks.pak (28.2MB)
- {Game Folder}\Data\SharedSounds.pak (4.67GB)

Absence of these files causes some sound issues. For example intro video and and menu was completely silent.

[KaktoR]

Sorry, my fault. I was testing something before and forgot to change it back to original...

Open DSG_Settings.ini and remove the red part.

Data1.ExclText=Data\Gustav_Video.pak|Data\Localization\Voice.pak|Data\SharedSounds.pak|Data\SharedSoundBanks.pak

Unfortunatelly you have to redo the first data bin.

Or compress the sound files manually with freearc and add it manually to records.ini
