that might be the issue, I'll give it a shot!

LIMBO
Original Size = 95MB
1. Method = pzlib+srep:m3f+rz:128m
2. Method = pzlib+srep:m3f+lolz(default)
1.Final Size = 50MB
2. Final Size = 55.1MB
pZlib inflated the game to 567MB, then srep made it 167MB, then rz made it 50MB at last/lolz made it 55.1MB at last.

While lolz was significantly slow for my potato pc(157KB/S), rz gave me more speed(267KB/S), extraction speed was almost same because I extracted on a regular hdd and probably lolz bottlenecked with it.

INSIDE

fitgirl repacked it from 2.3gb to 939mb. if urs is only 2.19g then lolz is winner.

My repack is based on her repack, I actually don't remember the actual size, not on pc now

it can be compressed even further by tweaking lolz switches. i myself compressed 100mb better than fitgirl.

@78372 did you try dispack070+delta ?
when i try dispack070+delta with lzma work but with lolz does not seem to work, i am using fazip but it did'nt run ?
with msc+srep:m3f:a2+dispack070+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d51 2m:fb273:mc10000:lc8 you will get 908mb...
with msc+srep:m3f:a2+lolz 864mb...

I didn't tried that, and lolz is just too slow for me, even rz is but sometime I use it for small games, but lolz is tooooooo much slow.

People if posting switches, etc, make sure disable smilies checked ( bottom section )
Makes easier for all to read.

Compressed AC Chronicles India China Russia from 11gb to 5.88gb video quality is orginal 1080p.
used uelr+srep:m5f:-ia+lolz on upk and tfc files. On these files compression ratio was 30% on average.
use bpk+srep on .bik files
instilation time is only 5minutes on average.

mass effect 2.93gb
uler+srep:m5f:d1g:a2+lolz:d32m...
bpk on video...

If you feel like squeezing a bit more, try: srep:m5f:l16 up to 2048.
