ultra fast
4x4 UltraFast: 4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:192m or 128m or 64m:fb273:mc128:lc8
Lolz UltraFast:lolz:tt1:d64m:mtt1:mt*:mc2
lolz UltraBestRatio: lolz:dtb1:d192m:mtt1:mt*:mc1023:gm20 - It's as if at most 192M is even better than 512M.

Also c128m is enough for this game.

XTool 02

These files should not be with XTool.exe
libzstd.dll
liblz4.dll
lzo2.dll
oo2core_4_win64.dll

I Did these works and finally the conversion didn't stuck.

Dishonored 2
Gamesize without credit: 41.4GB

method:
xZLib+lolz:tt1:d64m:mtt1:mt4:mc2

18:02:21 - Starting Archive Creation

I'd to replace this xtool v2 and remove those file from xtool directory of CIUv2 to compile the installer, if I didn't do this, I would get error code 11 while installing the game

And it get stuck again on 2.8% (45 minutes now).

I have canceled it now and go with srep+lzma. Will go for 2xBD25

*xtool ver2 used precomp:c128mb,t4:zlib+srep:m3f:d1g:a2+lolz:d64m on (resources-sharedrsc-shaderCache) 32.4gb to 16.4gb...
srep:m3f:a2+lolz:d64 on the rest of the files without bk 6.26gb to 3.23gb...
bpk on bk2 2.76gb to 2.3gb without credits...
total game size 41.5gb to 22gb...
compression and decompression time depend on system configuration, for me it took 3:38 hours to compress and around 10min for installation...

Titeuf · #7 20-12-2018, 06:54

Hello everyone,
and for Frostpunk (steam) please what is the best compression?
because I did not see this information in the forum.
cordially

KaktoR · #8 20-12-2018, 07:45

Should be zlib(xtool)+srep+lolz

Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Siege Operation Wind Bastion
Game size: 49.8 GB

Code:

Ripped Non-English sound files from sounddata\pc (13.6 GB)
Removed *textures4.forge files (35.3 GB)
Replaced *textures3.forge files with Dummy files (27 GB)

conversion method:
*.forge

Code:

afr:a2+srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000
22:20:10 - Starting Archive Creation
 3:22:47 - Conversion is Finished
 3:22:56 - Original Size:   35.775g
 3:22:56 - Compressed Size: 24.401g

*.bik

Code:

no compression 2 GB

all other files

Code:

srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000

 8:40:36 - Conversion is Finished
 8:40:37 - Original Size:   12.371g
 8:40:37 - Compressed Size: 4.228g

HD texture pack (*textures3.forge) can be replaced with dummy files safely but if you want to keep the files, this is the compression result.

Code:

afr:a2+srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000
 0:08:11 - Starting Archive Creation
 5:42:44 - Conversion is Finished
 5:42:53 - Original Size:   27.055g
 5:42:53 - Compressed Size: 19.461g

Important note:
there is a "Uninstall_BattlEye.bat" in "BattlEye" folder. make sure it includes with other file while compressing the game. if not, the game would not run.

You have to seperate "QtWebKit4.dll" from XTool (you will get crc error on this file everytime with all settings).
