system.rdb.bin CRC error

I try:
[xtool:zlib or preflate] [db or -] [dd5 or dd3] [lolz or lzma]

I want to know if this error is from my side or not.
I would be very grateful for your help!

I forgot I had fixed these issues on the WIP version of xtool as I've noticed this bug a few days after I released 0.6.9. Essentially for this input, do not use dd nor dd# because for one, the deduplication feature for this input is bugged. There are so many 16KB stream in this game and a lot of duplicates that the hash function used by xtool ended up detecting duplicates so do not use deduplication on 0.6.9 and older. I used 4x4:lzma equivalent which you can use to achieve the same result or lolz for better.

Bit of a basic question but how exactly does ZSTD re-compression work? Within XTool, is it a library-based like LZ4 or more universal like reflate? Additionally is ripping a block, say for example the first 200mb of a larger archive a suitable method for creating a sample to run tests on? I'm currently giving most of the RE Engine titles a crack and have been having some difficulties with testing different ZSTD libraries, as I've had no success with the stock XTool v0.5.3 ZSTD codec library, and its a bit of a waste to write so much data to the disk just for it to be for nothing.

What about *.vpk from Half-Life Alyx? LZ4 algo?

Seems to have lz4 compression but for some reason xtool is not able to process the streams:

Please may someone upload a sample, such as
game/hlvr/maps/a1_intro_world/a1_intro_world_skybox.vpk?

Thanks!
