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

[dixen]

Does anyone know how to correctly uncompress the PAK files in the State of Decay2 game?
Quickbms + SOD2.bms =7.6 gb > ~11 gb
Xtool + lz4hc:l9 + sod2.xtl = 7.6 gb > 8.1 gb

Tested file pakchunk000004-WindowsNoEditor.pak

NOTE.
Applying Xdelta has no effect

If I remember correctly this game uses standard lz4, not lz4hc but I could be mistaken. Also I think -mue4:lz4 (via unreal engine plugin) should work too in case you're having issues with database.
