This game has lots of zlib streams, so I'm using XTool Zlib however it completely crashes my PC.

Please note I have XTool limited to 80% of my CPU threads (using the t80p switch). My CPU is 8 core, 16 thread Ryzen 7 2700.

Here't the versions I've tested:

Code:

XTool V12 x64 = Crashes my PC (only way to recover is press physical reset button)

XTool V12 x86 = ERROR: write error (disk full?) in compression algorithm xzlib

I also tried pZlib:

Code:

pZlib V3 x86 = ERROR: write error (disk full?) in compression algorithm pZlib

pZlib V3 x64 = ERROR: write error (disk full?) in compression algorithm pZlib64

Please note that I haven't overclocked my CPU or modified anything in a way that could have an adverse effect on CPU heavy tasks, as I had XTool and pZLib working in previous recent conversions.

I am going to try other versions of XTool.

Updated Edit: it appears XTool 2019 x64 is working for me without issues. 1,113,038,020 bytes of game data precompressed into 16,176,946,862 bytes - that's looking good!!

XTool v 0.12 (x64) with с64mb - decompress without errors and stucks.
8 gb *.scs files > 43 gb > 12 gb after srep (a2 m5f) > 3.47 after lolz
