Thank you mausschieber.

Game version: v1.0.1.68304

Results with mkraken saved a tiny bit more disk space, which made a difference for me to be able to store some savegames.

Either one installs successfully in about 10-15 minutes.

I highly doubt this game use oodle compression at all. For all the bundle files try unity plugin with lz4/lz4hc with correct level and library.

[KaktoR]

use unity plugin with lz4hc codec, level 12 and lz4 library v192 or higher for all the bundle files.

[Jarmen_Kell]

Thanks a lot for compressor and installer. Everything works well.

Maybe you will get better results in using the correct library for compression.

Default library is v180 I guess. Try v192 or greater.

xtool:munity,lz4hc,l12:lz4_192+....

Thanks to Mausschieber for compressor and installer and to KaktoR for the compression method.
With this method not only compression size is smaller, but install time is shorter too!

Hello, I'm trying to compact version 1.9.0 and I'm getting an error. Could you tell me why it's not working and how to fix it?
