GTA V no temp file 17min installtion
pzlib:m3:max:c128m:t100p+srep:m2f:a2:lolz:d32 without audio file size 16.8gb.
audio file 15.4gb
*memory usage decompression with srep:m3f you will need 10gb for srep with m2f 3800mb...
you well lose 100mb to 500mb depend on the game did quick test on games that need alot of ram for decompression for srep alone like mad max/the evil within...
***you can use srep(32bit) from ProFrager it limit srep to 2gb only , in gta v total memory in decompression around 2.5gb (with pzlib+srep+lolz) with 2gb extra temp file only...

@K4miKaZe what the settings for srep and lolz when you install the game...

doofoo24, settings are default except for the thread usage on lolz. Reduced it to 80%, doesnt make much difference in time (at least on some AC games). Thats my default settings on all games for the installer. Srep version and lolz version for decompression is the used on the ASIS Script.

Also, m2f should be faster on installation as you say. The ratio you loose with srep can be fixed a bit more with higher lolz settings but on my case if i go a little bit above on lolz settings it takes a lot more time on compression.Thats not a problem on small games but with huge game size it can be a nightmare. What you can do with srep m3f is a double installer for more and less ram, times should be 20-30% faster on installation. Didnt checked it with gta but with hitman i got it 6 minutes lower on installation.

I already posted many of the games in this pack as standalone but different versions and older game engine.

Title:           The Orange Box
Version:         v1.0 (no idea if it has a version,its a pack)

PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 16GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:    Nothing

Original Size:   15.9 GB
Compressed Size: 5.24 GB

Method:          msc+srep:m3f on "audio files"
                 binkpack+srep:m3f on ".bik files"
                 srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
                
Compress Time:   2 hours 53 minutes (10388.71 sec)
Install Time:    5 minutes

CRC Checked:     Yes

Note: 
Just a little warning, this game has over 100k of files so using ultraarc
on normal way can take up to 2-3 hours more. Batch compressing works
fine and starts after some seconds.

Included games in pack:

Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Portal
Team Fortress 2

No idea, i always use SSD as you can see on all my posts. I posted HDD because it was a request made by an user of this forum so i really have no idea the impact m2f have on a HDD. The only thing i can tell you is that the difference between SSD and HDD should be around 25% for srep and the difference on SSD using 64bit or 32bit srep are something like 30% on speed (maybe because ssd is already fast enough). Thats on my case but you cant go exact with this things. CPU cores, ghz, etc... all matters. Even HDDs can have different speeds (rpm, if its a raid build or not,etc...).
