For Anno 1800, don't use pzlib as recommended by Zaza, it corrupts data12.rda on decompressor.

XTool v12 x64 gets stuck in compression.

Currently testing xtool 2020 edition.

LEGO Ninjago game simply crashes after unpacking the game files with QuickBMS. Is there something I'm missing here?

Experienced this with other newer LEGO games.

I think you need some special workaround?

All new LEGO games need exe patching at several places to be able to read unpacked data.

If you want to, send me original and patched .exe, then I will make a patcher tool and share it here, so others can use it and patch their .exe easily.

Each new version of the same game has different places/bytes to be replaced. There is no universal solution.
