 17:17:06 - Selected ARC/DS method for Data1a-01.bin was: bpk+xtool:mreflate:db:-dedup=3+4x4:lzma
 17:17:06 - Selected ARC/DS method for Data1b-01.bin was: xtool:db:-dedup=3+4x4:lzma
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 20:20:08 - Overall input size: 108.55 GB
 20:20:08 - Overall output size: 65.61 GB (Ratio 60.45%)
 20:20:08 - Overall conversion time: 03:02:59

Data1a
common.rpf
x64*.rpf
update\*.rpf

Edit: Use srep instead of xtool dedup. At least for me xtool just crashes in the middle, even with low settings. With srep cls it is working fine.

It is more optimal with --mem=10p

[External compressor: xtool]
header = 0
unpackcmd = "{compressor}.exe" decode -t100p --mem=10p - - <stdin> <stdout>

Also, use the 32-bit version of SREP.exe.
