The compression method i used is

-mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

i have also tried copying the unarc.exe and arc.exe from my Freearc bin folder to the include folder but unfortunately it did not helped.

they way i am doing it is:

i browse the main game folder, select all files and folders by pressing Alt+A then right clicking it and cascade menu Freearc===> Add to Archive

during the compression process i have noticed that the precomp version used by Freearc is the 0.42 so i have defined it in the decompression script header as 0.42.

Weird thing is that if i extract the file using the right click options==>Freearc==>Extract Here all works fine and the file get extracted with no error.

Also noticed that selecting all files and folders and using the -m0 then srep (default settings) then Freearc -mx works if i define the decompression lines in the script but the compression ratio is not good as if i use the

-mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

compression chain.

Also if i use the precomp(default settings) before srep compressing manually it seems srep cant do anything with the precomp file so looks like doing it manually is not an option for me.

i am used to scripting but this one is really cracking my head with this error, i have been compressing games since 2001 and i have experience with a lot of compression algorithms (like darkcomp paq*,uha etc) i still use the setup.bat thingy but since it can get some users in trouble because of windows user permissions and UAC and bla bla bla i am moving to Inno and the best stuff i got till now is this script (Faster,Easier etc.).

Anyway, the game i am doing final size is 15gb and compressed i got it to 2.12gb using audio conversion and file injection so i am happy with the size itself hehe, i just need to get rid of this damn error lol.

Best Regards
