BAMsE conversion works 100%.

Like he says, you need to provide more info if you require help. You cant just expect help to come when you dont give all the details.

Ok, one more thing. Is the game installed to your windows drive "Program Files" folder before the conversion?

If so, then try copying the game to another drive or to the root directory and then make conversion. (Sometimes .bat files cannot edit files in program files if uac is not disabled)


Edit:
------
Oh and btw you don't have to remake the whole conversion, just delete data3.cab and restart conversion. That seems to be the only one that is too big. If i'm wrong then i'm sure BAMsE will correct me.

it also makes a difference as to what version the game has been updated to. There are specific instructions in first post as to what update this installer supports. Double check that as well

can I apply this conversion in a clear installation plus the last DLC Initiation (size 13.8 gb) that update the game at latest version? And if not (maybe the size is too large after compression) can i delete the added content (for leave only the cumulative patch that this dlc add)
ADDITIONAL INFO: DLC Initiation add a DLC folder (size 6.16 gb). If you think conversion should works, I can try to make this conversion in this version

In this conversion whole SinglePlayer\DLC folder is placed in data4.cab.
In the day this conversion was done the only available DLC was Skins Season Pass (few KB), so the folder wasn't big.

If your DLC folder is ~300MB you can use this conversion as is (there is still ~100MB free space on its DVD and ~180MB not very needed _CommonRedist folder, so you can delete it).

If it's bigger you need to exclude it in data4_excl.lst file, then include it in new cab. For SP only it will be data5_incl.lst (delete all existed data5*), for MP+SP data7_incl.lst (don't forget to create corresponding empty _excl file bcoz it's needed in this version of script).

After that you need to edit compress.bat file to add method and disc number for newly created cab.

EDIT:
One more. You'll need to create (for SP only) data5_postprocess.bat:
Code:
@echo off
echo.[ExtractSettings] >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile3=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile4=Data4.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile5=Data5.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:3; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
:EOF
or (for MP+SP) data7_postprocess.bat:
Code:
echo.FreeArcFile7=Data7.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:4; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"

Thanks BaMsE for the reply, I have another question. My DLC folder contain one subfolder that is 6,16 gb, and without this subfolder the size of DLC folder is few kb. Instead of make the process that you have described, can I simply delete this subfolder and remake the entire conversion?
Another question: the conversion, I think, is based on multi language version of the game. Now I have a version with 2 folder of game, English and the folder of my language. I can simply delete the English folder and leave my language folder and so make the conversion, or it's needed to modify some things in the script? (I don't know how the script work, if the script search and delete the file of foreign languages, and in this case if in my version this folder there aren't, the script returns an error)
Thanks a lot!

EDIT: it's funny that 4,4 gb out of 6,16 gb, in the new DLC Initiation folder, it's for foreigns languages (each languages file is about 750 mb; all languages file without one is about 4,4 gb). Then I think with some compression there is a possibile to include Initiation DLC (personally I don't care about this DLC)

EDIT2: I tried the conversion deleting the DLC folder. At first look the conversion works, size are the same (4,23 and 4,19) and installation works fine, but it has the same problem of the previous conversion: game crash after 10 minutes of game. The crashes is caused by conversion, I'm sure, because I tried to delete the folder DLC and the other languages folder after a clear installation, and game works, instead with conversion crash after 10 minutes of game

I've finished the game installed from my conversion, and nothing bad happened.

Do you have this crash in particular moment of game or simply after 10 minutes even if standing at the beginning?

The problem may be:
1. Your version needs this removed DLC.
Make copy of DLC folder, uninstall the game, install from conversion, place back DLC folder and try.
2. Your version has and needs additional files that was not included in this conversion.
Make copy of whole game directory, uninstall the game, install from conversion, compare original with converted one.

Game crashes isn't in particular moment, but after 10 minutes after game beginning. Of course only in case of conversion (the problem occured in the conversion applied at clear installation, and the conversion applied at installation of game+initiation DLC).

1)I tried to play without DLC folder in the game without conversion, and work well, so this isn't the problem.
2)maybe is this. Now I try and report.

Another question, it's normal that the batch file terminate without any action to do (for example "conversion complete - press any key to continue")...because in the two times I have make the conversion, batch file close automatically
Thanks for the support anyway

No. You will be informed after conversion if there are errors or not. Screen is paused, so you must read it.
Immediate terminate indicates an unexpected error. See logfile.log

Hum I'm near to understand the problem, I think.
I made a clear installation, installed DLC, then I delete DLC folder, Online folder and foreign languages folders. The game worked without problem.
Then I tried to make conversion (SP only), data1 and data2 cab has been created without problem, at the begin of creation of data3 I received this error message:

******** D:\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\CookedPCConsole\Playab le_B
mCash_SF.upk ********
*** ERROR: Unable to serialize 4 bytes at pos=0
FFileReader::Serialize:File=Playable_BmCash_SF.upk <- FArchive::ByteOrderSeriali
ze <- UnPackage::UnPackage:\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\CookedPC
Console\Playable_BmCash_SF.upk, ver=99999/0, game=0 <- Main

Unable to find specified file.


Then, after 30 second, the program retry to create Data3 and compression starts normally.
I search in the game directory and the specified file doesn't exsist.

Ok the problem is very strange!! After conversion, the game doesn't work, but I don't install the game from the conversion!! In other words, the game that before conversion works, after conversion doesn't work!! So I think the error mentioned upon "break" any file in the directory and make game unplayable (in particular, game crash during the loading level).
What do you suggest?
