I know splitting file into multiple archives causes increase in size but how much exactly ? I splitted Black Myth Wukong into 4 and the final size is almost 102 whereas it should be around 96-97, or did i mess up some other thing? Used -d96m/128m -mtt1 -mt10 -mc1023 for lolz. Precompression as per wareck. Another thing I noticed that DODI used oo2reck+oo2recm and got to 94.95GiB with a single archive

what do you mean splitting ? cls-diskspan split archive ? or splitting the game files into different archives to use different compression on them? like this one

splitting the game files into different archives.....though i used same method for all of them just had to do because of storage

thats valid. size increased because you split the games on 5 different 20 gb (i guess) archives. and compressed them separately. if you had compressed 100gb at once in a single archive you would atleast get "a little" better results. this goes for almost any data.

Yeah I have known that too, but for Black Myth Wukong I splitted 138GB into 4, 44.6,43.6,31.8 and 18, but the size is almost 6GB bigger than expected, that's why I was if this were because of the split or something else

used this for precomp with oodle 2.9.5

Splitting the data up like this will result in duplicated data not being sufficiently removed, thus greater final archive size.
