Use this instead, it's better and not freezing at all (even with 19gb single file).

This settings should work without problems

packcmd = pZLib e -m2 -x -c32m -t25p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> -v
unpackcmd = pZLib d -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

And Sims 4 decompression is OK here. So no problems with resource files.

And for reflate, use reflateapi -> http://krinkels.org/resources/reflate-api.247/

It's faster.

Thanks for your help. Btw I'm trying reflateapi with a file (game1_004.resources / 595MB) and you can see here how much time it takes:



reflate seems to be slow like a snail. Never seen this with pzlib.

I have an Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 and I'm using this command for reflate:

reflate c/d -l8 -t8 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

I tried with "l6" too, but it is the same. Any suggestion ?

Edit: I solved the problem, like an idiot I used "c/d" for compression XD

Reflate is slow.but that Xeon is not going to make any difference cause that cpu only boosts to 3.7ghz on 1 core on normal boards thats why its so slow.

But if you have a good asrock mobo with the right bios you can get it to boost at 3.7ghz on all 4 cores and that will improve alot on your repacking not only with reflate but with other compressions.and a good hdd or ssd will help also.
