You can also combine xtool codecs like -mreflate+zlib

Use the oodle core I posted here.

You can also use the oo2core_8_win64.dll that comes with XTool 2020, but you'll need to rename it to oo2core_7_win64.dll in order for oo2recs to work with it!

Notes.
unreal.dll and option -d# is necessarily.
NO zlib+reflate because CRC errors

Did you use the correct zstdlib version?

Good idea! Added new libzstd and it came to 109%. Good fun.

KaktoR · #12 27-02-2021, 10:08

Use a version near game release date (month / week) if possible and go downwards in libzstd versions until you reach a peak in precompression. I don't know if there is a proper way to detect what zstandard version the game was packed. But that's basically what I do (same with lz4).

Masquerade · #13 28-02-2021, 01:49

I talked to spiritiovod and he managed to help identify that the version used was v1.4.4 of libzstd. Added that to zstdrec and wowzers:

Code:

Compressed 1 file, 15,471,886,944 => 31,903,067,738 bytes. Ratio 206.20%

Anyone knows what xtool+ue4 settings to use (m#) for Everspace 2? Ratio is always 100%
