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.

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)

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...

OK...

Anyway, so far, I keep getting when performing test on the archive with FreeArc GUI an error unknown method or parameters in pZLib3:st1

And I did edit the arc.ini in the FreeArc installation folder and added the relevant exe & dll files, trying one more time with a slight change in arc.ini but at the same time trying to re-do my compression without the st1 parameter for pzlib3 and with lzma instead of lzma64.

Hopefully it'll give the same archive result with less decompression problems.

what size you get after pzlib before srep ?
