I'm getting some ".forge" titles being processed with a warning at the end of processing them with AFR: "WARNING! In file found corrupted LZO-streams. Check your data!" and I have to manually test each files or a batch of files to determine which produce this error. packing the files that produce this error separately to the ones that don't results in a consistent successful decompression however the size is inflated due to them not being de-duplicated together. Currently affected titles that I've noticed are "Assassin's Creed" "III", "Black Flag", "Freedom Cry" & "Rogue". I'll note that I've been using AFR v0.0.1.9, using the "-vr" parameter as well as Srep v0.392, since other versions have produced issues with the "*.forge" files from my experience.

For anyone interested or who's encountered similar issues. I found out the cause of my troubles with both this issue and the immediate post prior to this one. Recently I streamlined and revamped my whole pipeline for packing titles and in the process accidentally included an outdated version of Srep somehow, using an updated version has fixed all my issues thankfully.
