It works fine, you have to use the correct config.

-mzstd
Streams: 8447 / 8447
Time: 00:00:34 (CPU 00:03:48)
Duplicates: 104 (0,00 MB) [0,00 MB >> 6,50 MB]
Srep decompression memory: 1,00 MB

Size: 411 MB >> 586 MB >> 579 MB >> 568 MB >> 344 MB

---

-mfrostbite3,zstd
Streams: 8338 / 8338
Time: 00:00:33 (CPU 00:03:46)
Duplicates: 0 (0,00 MB) [0,00 MB >> 0,00 MB]
Srep decompression memory: 2,00 MB

Size: 411 MB >> 579 MB >> 579 MB >> 568 MB >> 344 MB

The plugin skips streams which are less or equal 65536 bytes which leads to a bit better performance (see cpu time) with no impact in ratio afterwards.

yes you need to modify frostbibe3.ini and add :

[Stream13]
// SWSquadrons
Name=swsquadrons
Codec=zstd
BigEndian=1
Signature=0x700F
Structure=Dict(1),DSize(3),Signature(2),CSize(2),Z StdHdr(4),Stream
StreamOffset=-4
CompressedSize=CSize
DecompressedSize=DSize
Condition1=DSize > CSize
Condition2=CSize > 64
Condition3=CSize <= 65536
Condition4=DSize <= 65536
Condition5=Dict=0
Condition6=ZStdHdr = 0x28B52FFD

then use xtool:c32mb:mfrostbite3,swsquadrons
