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

xreflate+srep+lolz

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

Sorry to always be asking questions here, but what does the pack/unpackcmd look like for xreflate? I had a look at the included usage/operations help section in the xtool .exe, however I don't see reflate as an option there.

Hey, its not like there is a special parameter for unpackcmd.

[External compressor:xtool]
header    = 0
packcmd   = xtool.exe precomp -mreflate -c32mb -t100p --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

This is version 0.3.9 of XTool, as long as reflate libraries are there it will decompress.

Sorry for any lack of knowledge.
