No, not really.

I don't know about this game, it could be that the game files are crypted. Maybe try quickbms and extract the files if possible.

Thanks KaktoR. While we're here, I am fine using UltraARC the way I am, right? If I try a different game, everything should run as normal (normal being I can reduce file size by GB than MB)?

yes, but LOLZ and ZSTD are the final compressions, so choose one of them, I refer to LOLZ with this method:
lolz:dtb1:dto1:dtm1:dtw1:dtd1:d256m:mtt1:mt4:mc102 3:gm20:fba4096

my common method usually:
XTool+srep+delta+LOLZ

if there are many files like .raw, .dds, .mp3 or anything try:
msc+XTool+srep+delta+LOLZ
or if just .ogg with another files try:
oggre+XTool+srep+delta+LOLZ

So this is just XTool + SREP + LOLZ. How necessary is precomp (in any situation)?

Precom means precompressor and it's simpler to xtool or ztool (cause they are precompressors too).. But xtool is effective (with zlib/zstd/lzo/lz4...)
AFR is an example of precompressor (but it supports only .forge files I mean files which were made using Avilnext engine of Ubisoft)

Precompressor is sometimes necessary sometimes it's not and it's hard to tell for me.Like I did packed some files with xtool_pzlib+srep+lolz and got 58% ratio
But when I used srep+lolz only I got about 60%.. in this case precompressor didn't worth my time that much

Yes dude... If it has files to reduce on...

Like forge file can be done well via AFR+srep+loz. I mean you'll get good ration over the the file.But man it hurts when it comes to decompression.. The AFR is slow

And entai44.. for lolz which parameter u would recommend??

I generally use lolz:tt1:d200:mtt1:mt3:mc4 (it's fast but not ratio wise,atleast it gets me 2300k/sec)

I'm on HDd don't have any Ssd.. which one u would suggest for speed in com+Ratio wise?
