Try QuickBMS if possible?

Tony Hawk uses a non-standard encryption scheme such that decryption is possible using the attached script, but encryption is not.

How could I use this in DiskSpan_GUI?

FAZip gets stuck while compressing Forza Horizon 5 files excluding zip files.

even after 7 hours FAZip uses high CPU and RAM but there is no disk activity.

compressing using DiskSpan_GUI v2.0.1.9 (x64)

method: rep+srep+LZMA-MT (stuck at 100% error level) or srep+LZMA-MT (stuck at 33.5% error level)

conf: i5-13600K + 32 GB DDR5 5600MHz RAM + 2 TB NVMe SSD

Most likely it is because of lzma. On some inputs lzma has insanely times to compress data. Try with another method, like fast lolz.

Oh, and do not compress games on your SSD, because of all that data write you will let your SSD die sooner then later.

Cricket 24

Code:

xtool_zstd+lolz

For XTool, use this:

Code:

-mzstd:l3 -df5p -dd5

Used libzstd v1.3.0.
Use XTool v0.7.9.hotfix1 (others will get stuck/crash).

67.4GB ---> 19.4GB

I’ve got all the required plugin DLLs and tools downloaded, including XTool. My Cricket 24 folder is in E:\Cricket 24, but I’m a bit confused about how to use XTool to compress the game properly.

Should I be using the GUI or the command line? And if it’s the command line, could you help me with the exact command for this version of the game?

Would really appreciate a quick walkthrough or any tips you’ve got. Thanks a lot!
