Can anyone tell me something about the new settlers game? Seems to be zstd mostly and some zlibs aswell but couldn't get much out of it. Seems like 1.5.0 library is the correct one.

Code:

Streams: 2887/11649
Time: 00:02:05 (00:12:23)
Memory: 204 MB (204 MB)

Results: 256 MB >> 331 MB

For zstd streams

zstd1.PNG

zstd2.PNG

The version is 1.5.1 or 1.5.2, not 1.5.0

For deflate streams

zstd3.PNG

so... png+reflate and -d1

Code:

-mreflate+png+zstd:l16 -d1

Code:

Streams: 11977/11984
Time: 00:00:16 (00:01:32)
Memory: 215 MB (215 MB)

Results: 256 MB >> 686 MB

Make sure there is no xdelta library, xtool freezes because of what I assume would be false positive streams or very small streams.

Has anyone found a reliable way to rip localized audio from "Quantic Dreams" PC ports (i.e. Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Detroit Become Human)? I've only found a semi-reliable unpacking utility for "Detroit Become Human", but even then recent builds of the titular title cause the unpacker to crash. All titles only use deflate/zlib for compression, but annoyingly it seems everything, including the audio and pre-rendered Bink videos are also compressed, making ripping the streams a tad tricky.

Hello im having trouble with the game Raft. Its the newest version using clean steam files. I am using DSG newest version with ASIS installer also newest version. I have used them both without issues in the past on many games this is not a new setup. The compression goes fine but always the same error message on multiple computers at the end of installation. https://ibb.co/TTx1T2t

the compression i have tried is Srep + Lolz (number 4 in predefined on DSG) and Xtool 2020 (zlib) srep + lolz (number 12 in predefined) .... i dont know much about what to use for what types of games just getting into that part so please go easy on me if this is obvious. Usually i use number 12 and then if errors switch to number 4 and i rarely have issues even though i know this isnt "the best" it usually at least works.

Any help is appreciated or pointers. And sorry if my error has nothing to do with compression type thats part of what im trying to narrow down. TIA

Pak contains a shit ton of WWise Audio too so you can patch out the larger files using FModel / MESA and XTool's erase function and use WemTool. I'm skipping this one too
