Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

Sample?

Edit: Waste of time. Use reflate on *.mas files...

I am having a bit of trouble trying to compress certain Unity games. When I try to use xtool:munity,lz4hc,l12:lz4_193 specifically, it compresses just fine. When I go to test unpacking in both DiskSpanGUI and an installer (using the Setup.dll generated from DiskSpanGUI post-compression) it always fails. I do not have these issues when I use xtool:c32mb:munity,lz4hc,l12, but the former command can get a better ratio.

Try another lz4 library version, such as lz4_190 up to lz4_194.

If nothing works send a sample file where extracting fails.

Assassins Creed: Mirage (v1.06 - No Denuvo Version) (English Only)
Ripped: ACMirage_plus.exe since it's not needed

For .FORGE files use:

xtool:manvil:core_2.8.4:dd3+lolz

For Sound files use:

xtool:dd3+bcm

For rest of the files use:

srep_new:490g+lolz

I'm working on "Mafia The Old Country"

I found that:
For *.pak oodle kraken core_2.9.10 lib_2 and maybe ue4 (better ratio with)
but for *.ucas seems to be encrypted => no compression ratio

here a sample

What's the method for Metal Gear Solid Delta? Tried Kraken, only got a 70.9 GB result, I think I did it wrong.

xtool:d1:mue5:mkraken:core_2.9.5+srep+lolz

[ScOOt3r]

Metal Gear Solid Delta is OODLE-Kraken

What about *.war, *.upk & *.tfc from GoW Reloaded?

Am I doing something wrong?

xtool.exe precomp -mue3 <infile> <outfile.xt>

None of the GoWR files are decompressing...
