Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

Watch Dogs Legion hi how do I do the compression process

[KaktoR]

As for WDL, you can straight pack videos_ultra.dat with bpk. For videos.dat this does not work. It get stuck on 6.4%, I guess you have to unpack the file first.

Compressed 1 file, 3,704,538,840 => 3,145,628,556 bytes. Ratio 84.91%
Compression time: cpu 2.45 sec/real 401.17 sec = 1%. Speed 9.23 mB/s
All OK

Extracted 1 file, 3,145,628,556 => 3,704,538,840 bytes. Ratio 84.91%
Extraction time: cpu 4.22 sec/real 367.05 sec = 1%. Speed 10.09 mB/s
All OK

I am having an issue with UELR, it starts to do it's thing, then stops with this error:

ERROR: general (de)compression error in uelr

Here's my setup:

[External compressor:uelr]
header = 0
packcmd = UELR\uelr_x64 uv $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

I have also tried using "ulv" rather than "uv" but it brings up the error still. The game I am using it on is Lost Planet 3 BTW.

Make sure to only process tfc/upk files with uelr

UELR will crash out if no LZO streams are detected.

I separated ONLY tfc/upk files, and tried again using UELR, and I get the same error. (uelr+srep+lolz/xz should be correct, right? I see other methods using this just fine.)

GFS does show LZO streams, and while attempting to compress with UELR it does seem like its detecting them/working before crashing
