Wasn't able to get srep 3.92 beta working with it, both in $$arc$$ or stdio.

3.93a works, but I don't know anything yet about precompression

Call of Duty: Vanguard
oo2core_8_win64.dll from game folder

Code:

oo2reck
Compressed 59 files, 62,292,776,931 => 80,613,566,269 bytes. Ratio 129.41%
Compression time: cpu 54.55 sec/real 7302.48 sec = 1%. Speed 8.53 mB/s
All OK

xtool:kraken
Compressed 59 files, 62,292,776,931 => 85,178,762,171 bytes. Ratio 136.74%
Compression time: cpu 53.41 sec/real 6224.33 sec = 1%. Speed 10.01 mB/s
All OK

First time I see xtool:kraken is better then oo2rec

Forza Horizon 5

*.zip, *.minizip -> zlib
do not use bpk on bk2 files, same shit as always (crc error). I guess bpk has reached its limits.

KaktoR,

Actually, it isn't the first time xtool:kraken is yielding better results than XTool.

Take a look at this, it is a sample from WWE 2K19.

XTool - Kraken

Code:

Compressed 1 file, 3,291,136 => 21,504,257 bytes. Ratio 653.40%
Compression time: cpu 0.00 sec/real 15.72 sec = 0%. Speed 0.21 mB/s
All OK

OodleRec - Kraken

Code:

Compressed 1 file, 3,291,136 => 5,251,731 bytes. Ratio 159.57%
Compression time: cpu 0.00 sec/real 4.97 sec = 0%. Speed 0.66 mB/s
All OK

[/QUOTE]

you are kinda right about bpk, had same issues when i tried it on WDL bpks.

I guess encoding bpks is the only option we have, if the game accepts the encoded ones ofcourse.

ENGLISH ONLY! All unneeded language files + deluxe movies ripped.

Start size: 51.3GB

Compression method:

Code:

oo2recm+xtool_zlib+srep+lolz

Do not use XTool chunk size of greater than 128mb otherwise it will get stuck during compression. (tested on my 64GB, 16 thread PC). XTool v0.12 used. Thanks to Razor12911 for the tools.

Final Size: 37.9GB

IMO yes, considering there's little to no speed penalty.

I didn't test selkie though, perhaps you can get even more inflation with that.

Why the new GTA trillogy has oodle files in place when they have zlib?
