hello
I fixed the issue with frosbite3 plugin
It was almost easy, cas files use a variable level of ZSTD compression (between l16 and l20)
So i need to change Codec=zstd:l19 to Codec=zstd in frostbite3.ini
I just add a new stream config to frostbite3

10:52:41 - Selected ARC/DS method for Data1a-01.bin was: xtool:c32mb:mfrostbite3,swsquadrons+srep_new:490g+ lolz:d40:mtt1:mt16:mc1023
10:52:41 - Selected ARC/DS method for Data1b-01.bin was: xtool:mreflate+srep_new:490g+razor_mtx

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12:58:21 - Overall input size: 31,22 GB
12:58:21 - Overall output size: 21,00 GB (Ratio 67.28%)
12:58:21 - Overall conversion media: 1 custom media

You can fin here the file submited by mausschieber with my pluggin already inside.

cheers

[wareck]

[Jarmen_Kell]

Thanks a lot to dear Mausschieber for compressor and installer, Wareck for fixes and compression method and Razor121911 for his emails and guidanses.
