What is the best compression method for Rocket League (Epic Games official Version)
Also, if anyone could link me to a tutorial which teaches how to compressit, that'd be a help.
U have UltraArc, just don't know how that works and what options to select.

It's different to some extent even though the folders are same, when I put the steam repack from fitgirl in the Epic Games folder, it had to redownload about 3.8gb.(Could be because of the crack too)
I used bpk+cp_2077(Xtools 2020)+xzlib+srep_new+lolz_mtx to achieve 48% compession i.e. from 12.9gb to 6.3gb.
Hope this helps anyone else in the future.
I think this is the absolute best conversion achievable since Fitgirl's old steam version was converted from 11.1gb to 5.5 i.e. also ~48%
Also any moderator looking at this you could add this to the Specific Game Index.

uhhhh ok

1. There's no need for bpk since there's no bink videos in this game

2. Why are you using the cyberpunk 2077 precompressor on not cyberpunk 2077??????

3. xzlib - we're getting somewhere, but this game is made in unreal engine 3 and is compressed with lzo and not zlib (zlib is ue4) - which is why you need to use UELR [Unreal Engine LZO Recompressor]

4. srep, great!

5. lolz_mtx - this has been proven to be slower IIRC and not worth whatever result you get. If you want a fast compression, use lzma2.

I don't know.
I'm totally new to this like literally 100%.
Found a config, used CUI V3 GUI for diskspan to do this and it took 21 hrs to do this.
Now I don't know how to extract this things again so finding the forum.

I know you write this post long time ago but just to clarify something. Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't made in UE3 as you said, it was made in CDProject's REDengine 4.

srep_new

Previously CIU had two selection modes to include the srep which was "SREP N" or "SREP O", then changed to "SREP NEW" or "SREP OLD" (Full names of N or O).
As DiskSpan_GUI already creates the file with the decompressors, the choice of the decompressor is made in this way.
PS: srep_old has only 32-bit decompressors, but srep_new is the beta version of CLS srep (It is not a final version).
I don't know why we still use the old version, but I think that in some cases the new version may not be a good choice.

After updating the INDEX, I realized that we need just 10 more methods to finish the year with 900 entries in INDEX, and we have 6 more days
