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.

for now for Black Myth Wukong the best i've done is 96.9Gb
(full game, with optional bonus)

xtool:c32mb:d1:mkraken:mmermaid:core_2.9.5+srep_ne w:490g+LOLZ_NORMAL

Data1 is all .pak
Data2 all other

I do not use mue4 because it makes installation very slow and some time crc error
(yes it's mue4 n mue5 do not work for this game )

I'm working on a new test, with bk2 extracted form pak16. just to check if give better ratio
