This game has very few streams. I guess only decrypt the files and use srep+lolz would have the same ratio.

Code:

Compressed 20 files, 56,772,706,885 => 57,575,115,762 bytes. Ratio 101.41%
Compression time: cpu 25.19 sec/real 1436.27 sec = 2%. Speed 39.53 mB/s
All OK

@fabrieunko

Code:

xtool:c32mb:mzlib:d1:mue4,k0x27BCD9AE811EBB70D80F7B9098CCE4267CFFA18E14058BC2E59E8898E0E9AA9C

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered

*.ff, *.fp, *.xsub -> kraken (use oo2core_8)

American Truck Simulator [v.1.45.3.26s + All DLCs]

Code:

xzlib+srep+lolz

Latest XTool used with -mzlib only (no reflate).
Use -lm due to incredibly huge streams being decompressed.
I have 64GB of memory so I used a 1024mb chunk size.

10.7GB ----> 6.1GB

Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition

 21:28:17 - Overall conversion time: 02:45:51
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 22:03:03 - All files have been successfully extracted!

Paks are using lz4hc with level 9 and some reflate streams.
However not all lz4 streams can be processed.
To get a good amount of streams set --diff=20p in arc.ini (the sweatspot is somewhere between 15p and 20p, I used 20p. Above this you will get negative ratios on some files. The higher #p, the more negative ratio) and use xdelta3_dll.dll near xtool.exe

Due to false detection by xtool use preflate, not reflate. If you use reflate you will get crc errors on extraction.
For xtl creation use lspk.bms and in bms2xtl.ini set lz4=lz4hc:l9
Use liblz4 180

bpk information

Code:

Data1c
Data\Localization\Video.pak
Data\Localization\Video_1.pak
Data\Localization\Video_2.pak
Data\Localization\Video_3.pak
Data\Localization\Video_4.pak
DefEd\Data\Localization\Video.pak

Data1d (crc errors on extraction, don't use bpk on them, or extract the archives first and use binkpatch)
DefEd\Data\Localization\Video_1.pak
DefEd\Data\Localization\Video_2.pak
DefEd\Data\Localization\Video_3.pak
DefEd\Data\Localization\Video_4.pak

Thanks to Razor12911 and Masquerade for some informations
