Have you changed decompress arc.ini too?

game like crysis 1 need hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll, setting r9

I'm compressing Assetto Corsa, Not Crysis, but yes, these dll files are in the same folder as ztool

My CIUv2 arc.ini for pZLib3:

[External compressor:pzlib3,pZLib3,pZLib32,pzlib32,pZlib32,pzLib32,pZLib64,pzlib64,pZlib64,pzLib64]
header = 0
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

and my current compression arc.ini for pZLib3:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp 
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

UPDATE:

OK, as for the time of the original compression that gave me the CRC error the compression arc.ini was this:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

I have now changed the pzlib3 arc.ini entry for CIUv205g to be this:

[External compressor:pzlib3,pZLib3,pZLib32,pzlib32,pZlib32,pzLib32,pZLib64,pzlib64,pZlib64,pzLib64]
header = 0
;unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t25p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp <stdout>

So far, 4 minutes into setup & no CRC Checksum error, it was practically immediate before.

The only issue now is that the elapsed time keeps progressing while the time remaining stays 0 and the progress bar stays at 0.0% .

But I'll give it some time, could be because of the extreme compression ratio (40GB game to 3.80GB archive)

UPDATE 2:

Around 10 minutes in, I got the following ISDone error:

An error occurred when unpacking!
Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1
ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails)

wow extreme compression ratio (40GB game to 3.80GB archive) ???
what setting ???

These:

pZLib3:st1+srep64+lzma64:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

With the following arc.ini values:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:srep64]
header = 0
packcmd   = srep64 {options} -v0 -m3f -a2 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep64 {options} -d -s - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:lzma64]
header = 0
packcmd   = lzma64 e lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = lzma64 d lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>

But as I mentioned, so far I fail to unpack it with CIUv205g.

I'm trying to perform a test on the archive directly with FreeArc UI program to see if the archive is actually corrupt or not, this will at least give me an indication where my problem is.

ok, i am tring to compress the game now with ztool with pzlib:m3:r9:c256m i will report back...

I did a lot of attempts with ztool pzlib, never got below 8.99GB final size (2xDVD5+1x300MB+ Disc) for Assetto Corsa.

I even used the ultra preset (pzlib:ultra), further more, because of the game size, it requires a lot of free space or it just end with errors during compression (that's true for both ztool & pZLib3)

[doofoo24]

after ztool i get 42618mb not alot of zlib detect...
as for pzlib i didn't use it for long time last time i tried to use it i got a lot of crc error's.
try to disable superfetch in windows or use safe mode...
