Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[dixen]

For future repacks RE: Requiem

zstdrec (or Xtool:mzstd:l11) + libzstd.dll v1.44

[wareck]

Desynced:

Data1(*.pak) : xtool:c64mb:mzlib:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL
Data2(*.zip) : precomp+xtool:mflac,l8:mpng:d1:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL
Data3(other): xtool:mreflate:dd3+razor_stdio

[wareck]

GreedFall: The Dying World (deluxe edition, 63.8gb)

Data1 : xtool:c64mb:d1:df20p:mzlib:mpng:d1:mbrunsli+srep_n ew:490g+LOLZ_NORMAL
Data2 : xtool:mzlib:mreflate+srep_new:490g+razor_mtx

Data1 = .spk .stc .pgz
Data2 = other

final size around 45gb

A small note on RE 9.
PAK files with the prefix _sub_ use gdeflate instead of zstd and xtool barely works with this

Test re_dlc_stm_3990820.pak.sub_000.pak

Streams: 487 / 3017
Time: 00:00:23 (CPU 00:02:18)

Size: 789 MB >> 789 MB

100%
Errorlevel=0
Compressed 1 file, 827,159,225 => 827,538,089 bytes. Ratio 100.05%
Compression time: cpu 0.75 sec/real 25.88 sec = 3%. Speed 31.96 mB/s
All OK

with -mlibgdeflate same result.

Styx: Blades of Greed
It has encryption
k0xD9BCBAC009D6881140AF8721394E0C9A40428A9A213AC5F 39FA4CBF88FE18772

but unreal.dll doesn't work; decompression doesn't occur. Maybe it's not oodle that's being used, but something else
Can anyone help? I'm attaching the example files.

For RDR2 should i use the oo2core_5_win64.dll from the game or another one ? Also how did fitgirl get to 68 GB ?

Also, Is it safe to remove mp files ?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is encrypted, you need to find a way to decrypt it. And no, you cannot rip multiplayer files.

The key is wrong.

The correct key is

0x40428A9A213AC5F39FA4CBF88FE18772D9BCBAC009D6881140AF8721394E0C9A

Use mermaid+kraken
Use library 2.9.10 (2)

Need help for best method for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Here is a sample

If it's anything like the first entry I'm going to guess encryption + oodle, best bet would be wait for a foss tool to release that tackles the former. Will hopefully be an interesting title to tackle.

I used dstorage method on this and got 80.7 GB it compressed nicely, the OLDER methods for death stranding do not work anymore
