Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[K4miKaZe]

Hi, here i will post all AC Games converted with almost same method.

Tools used: UltraArc, Srep v3.9.2, Lolz, Binkpack, UELR,AFR & Rad Video Tools (this was only for Black Flag & Unity because some video files give error when converting them with binkpack)

Method: Mask method -> bpk on .bik & .bk2 files / afr+srep+lolz on .forge files / srep+lolz on all other files
On AC Chronicles changed only AFR with UELR

Computer: 4 Cores with 3.9GHz (up to 4.3 on boost), 8GB DDR4 Ram, SSD & 12GB VRAM (This should not matter really)

Note 1: Original sizes are with only one language, sorry i already had my games with only 1 language (spanish) so i really have no idea how much the total size is with all language files.

Note 2: For Black Flag you must convert all .bk2 files into .bik files with rad tools (i only set up the conversion ratio to 80% to get an aproximate file size). After that rename the converted bik files into bk2 and replace them with the original files. For unity you have to do this only on the abstergologo.bk2 file (easy) or just remove it as its not necesarry.

Note 3: I also replaced DirectX installers with the web setup installer on all games.

Note 4: All games are on the last version and have all dlcs included (i think they are complete). Soundtracks and other Deluxe stuff non related to the game has been removed.

Final Note: All games has been crc checked with sfv file and all games are on a single bin file (non splitted). You can also get some better ratio (just a little bit) with higher lolz settings but its very time consuming and not worth (at least for me).
