Hello KaktoR. I compressed *Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain* using the DSG Module 2.0.2.4 version; however, the installation fails when I use the setup wizard created by mausschieber. The game files get corrupted because they do not revert to their original state during the restoration process following the compression of the game files and audio assets.

After restoring the compressed files for *Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain*, the original files are not being restored. I have prepared a detailed video regarding the issue I encountered; the video is a bit long since I recorded the entire process, but I hope it helps explain the problem.

I would like to show you the video I recorded.

Since xtool 0.9.9 is out, use the following config for erp files

zstd
l22
-cfgzstdmm4:sl8:wl20
library version 1.4.5

Streams: 1908295 / 1909097
  - zstd:l22 = 1908295 (22,92%)

Control Resonant

this game is zlib+srep+lolz

[KaktoR]

^
This is not zlib. Most likeley same as Alan Wake 2 because it's the same game engine.

Processing input: G:\Control Resonant

Streams: 156742
  - zlib = 6235 (0,02%)
  - png = 4 (0,00%)
  - kraken = 73 (0,01%)
  - wwise (vorbis) = 149988 (13,49%)
  - bink (v1i) = 1 (0,00%)
  - flac = 17 (0,00%)
  - leviathan = 74 (0,01%)
  - bink (v2j) = 241 (5,75%)
  - bink (v2n) = 64 (0,43%)
  - mermaid = 21 (0,00%)
  - zstd = 24 (0,00%)

These two Files contains entirely vorbis audio:
Speech.vox
Audio.vox
Mesa to extract the ogg file and xtool erase command for xtl

After Extraction:
.ogg file:

oggre

rest of the files:

zlib+srep+lolz

Input:3.9 GB
Output:0.9 GB
Unpacking Time: 5 Mins on 8 threads

[KaktoR]

I will tell a secret. You can extract with xtool aswell.

xtool.exe precomp -mogg -x"G:\output" "G:\Strangeland\speech.vox"

Output folder must exist before.

[Spinneret94]

^^
xtool.exe precomp -mogg -x"output" "audio.vox"

Processing input: audio.vox

Streams: 0 / 755
Patched: 0 (0.00 MB)

Size: 187 MB >> 187 MB

Time: 00:00:05 (CPU 00:00:01)

output folder is already created like you mentioned.
