I compared it with FG repack is because after using precompressor u must get size better than FGs.BTW I too never like to unpack game files.

That fact that FG has extracted game files is a precompression in itself so your size should not be much different than FG's size considering you have good comp settings. I have myself achieved 11 GB for Far Cry 4 using both AFR and XTool but I forgot what settings I used.

I guess u r wrong, I myself have acieved better size (around 100 to 500mb )than FGs extracted game using precompression. I have seen FGs extracted files create diff files which inturn increase game size. (dunia precompressor ) (not AFR) by edison doesnt use same technique as razors xtool or ztool hence precompression done with edisons tool is pure and ultimate however with xtool razor has also polished it hence precompression done with it is also nearly equal to ultimate precompression.

precomp:t100p:lz4+srep:m3f:a2+lolz:d64m, game size 45gb...
only sp and eng audio, better to pack files separately bik/lz...

[doofoo24]

precomp:t100p:lz4+srep:m3f:a2+lolz:d64m, game size 54.5gb sp only...
better to pack files separately the same as always...

Why do you forget the compression part in all this ? I see weak lolz settings around here that are not always enough to get size like FG even with improved and "ultimate" precompression. SRep settings also affects compression in FC4.. And those diffs that you are talking about are not that large. Make sure you had all the game files as in FG repack and tell me what compressed size you got.

Strong settings are as obvious, slow. I may not recommend it for personal use. Too much for small gain.
