msc isnt multithreaded unfortunately. if you pass -t=4 in msc it translates to "takc.exe use 4 threads" not "4 different takc.exe process working in parallel".
-t=4 is not a limitation of msc but a limitation in tak compressor.

Hello i have multiple questions about DiskSpan-GUI

1.What compression method is the best for general purpose use, i have been using (xtool:lm3:t100p:mzlib+srep_new:490g+LOLZ_ULTRA) with good results but i want to know what you guys think. (yes i know ideally you would use different methods for each game.)

2.How come when i use LZMA2 XZ 256mb to compress Forza Horizon 6 it errors. (i have 48gb ram)

3.Whats the difference between RAZOR MTX, PMT, STDIO, STD.

Thanks.

Likely hacking it use 8threads add minor fix from correctly detect last v2.3.2/2.3.3 versions!

And wohooo! Still waiting new TAK release (v2.3.4 or v2.4 or v3.0?) from last months the 2026 years. Thomas Becker coming soon releasing in new version! Compression ratios hopefully 1-5% better than last and release it first 64bit editions! Many updating from MSC v0.0.6.5a2 stiil needed, include decoder library. (Updating cls-msc.dll file.) Will Edison007 update the MSC if that happens? (Releasing v0.0.6.5a3 with TAK 2.3.3 and/or v0.0.6.6 with TAK v3.0) Or should we wait for ProFrager?
