^^
Grim Dawn uses lzo, so you'll need an lzo precompressor programmed to work with grim dawn's archive structure. You could try bms2xtl but I've not personally tried it.

Use another library.

I told you use another library, you did not.

I was wondering which one would be preferred for another library.

KaktoR · #8 17-08-2026, 10:02

However I guess srep will most likely fail. I was asked this by some users in the last days.

I told them to find the correct srep settings / srep version or use rep before, like this
xtool:manvil:core_2.9.12+rep+xtool:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL

Edit:
