@st0rm ... In fact, in some cases it is not advisable to use lolz, too slow in compression, and for the low margin of ratio it is not recommended.

Hummm...so without using xtool this game gets 100mb less? I can swear it inflates up to the 5gb. Will try it later, just curiosity hehehe.

Hahaha, i started it. It still gives 98.8% compression ratio on lolz (after srep only 1.2gb but lolz isnt doing anything). It would be funny if this actually works, so much time saving and tools.
