What difference does it make if I use rar5 + best and not freearc?

The Conversion uses UltraARC but you can choose to compress with WinRAR, from within UA, but have no clue as to what the differences will be in output.

As far as I can see it creates a data.cab. I think compression algorithm doesn't interfere with installation.

Unity_1 is slightly bigger than a dvd: 4.57 gb.

you can use WinRAR in the program but you still need to specify maximum size for first dvd

Ok, my mistake, I didn't set first dvd in path screen.
7zip should be better than rar, although freearc (that I am too lazy to download) should be faster in the process of compression.

The output should be the same, and for the normal user it's just clicking the setup.exe and installing.

Another question: is there any way to change data.cab name? Now I get data1a, data1b... I would like numerals as data1 data2 data3.

Edit: freearc is not included in rar packages, isn't? I don't have those options.

no that's the way UA works, & if you want freearc then you must install it.

Ah ok, thank you.

Then 7zip should do the trick. Unity_9 is 3.6 gb, so it must be everything (patch+dead kings), maybe I've missed some of the other DLCs.

There is a problem on uninstall though.

"Cannot import dll [...] GameuxInstallHelper.dll".

Anyone else having this problem? Is it normal?

you will have to recompress game, & add that file to exception list ( like unins* )
it must exist in original gamefolder & cant access it ( same file is used for uninstall in conversion )

Ok I will try another compression in full.

I wonder if it's the only dll with this problem though.

Can you explain what exception list do?
Does it mean it won't be included in my splitted archive and therefore not installed in new installation?

Freearc: I gave a try with "srep, delta, lzma" and it just quits at 10%.
Using freearc gives me an E.T.A. of 5 hours versus 2 hours of 7zip, I don't know why - even if would work for me with freearc, would it speed up installation later?

Here's my procedure:
- decompressing Unity Conversion_V2, with the backbone of the conversion;
- decompressing UA_2400_03172015.rar in overwrite under Unity Conversion folder.
Then I select good installation, first folder (unity_1 with exe), output.
Freearc isn't working so I shall go with 7zip.

At this point even with a good splitted archive, I do have the corrupt dll on unistall. It's a common problem it seems.

Now I am trying a repack with that exact dll as exclusion but ... do I have to install it manually after?

in UltraARC.ini

[Exclusions]
Exclude1=unins*
Exclude2=GameuxInstallHelper.dll
Exclude3=FirewallInstallHelper.dll

Will be enough, no need to move them out of game folder.
