This is using sort of zstd (maybe zstdsharp).
You can use zstd with level 22 but you won't be able to get all streams. Use the latest zstd library.

Streams: 96220 / 207465 (61,23%)

Since xtool 0.9.9 is out, use the following config

For zstd streams:
l22
-cfgzstdb128k
library 1.5.7

Processing input: G:\Total War WARHAMMER III

Streams: 128848 / 207465
  - zstd:l22 = 128848 (61,21%)
Patched: 128848 (9,09 MB)

Size: 84,4 GB >> 127 GB

Time: 01:50:32 (CPU 09:38:50)

Missing streams are most likely the ones which are ~20-100 bytes in size.


For lz4f streams:
l12
-cfglz4ds1
library 1.9.4

Streams: 18363 / 45852
  - lz4f:l12 = 18363 (0,38%)
Patched: 17777 (0,50 MB)

Size: 84,4 GB >> 84,7 GB

Time: 00:08:10 (CPU 00:03:43)

Here again very small streams so most likely they are skipped by xtool

Skip verification

Streams: 45852 / 45852
