Should've used XTool for that?

I am still testing the XTool method, because you see there is a plugin for WDL but i had no luck recently with that. Since it uses the lz4 plugin, i used various .dll just in case i hit something.

The liblz4.dll ( 136 ) KB was the one the was giving the best results of them all.

But when i precompressed the game it was somthing like 89,344,643,34 > 93,456,234,56.

Ofcourse the values other than first two digits are just predicted as i am writing the message but you can say 89 > 93.

Thanks for your concern though.

Seems to me like a good known bug for most of the plugins from xtool.

Yeah, the same thing happens with Hitman 3 (Only individual files can be precompressed properly).
And FIFA 20 (XTool would use no CPU on files greater than 1.5 GB or some times 2.0 GB)

These are the ones i tested so far along with WDL.

Bethesda plugin the same

Beware on using high chunk sizes due to huge streams being decompressed in XTool.

Reflate used since it gives best ratio.

6.6GB ----> 3.8GB
