And what about for .bk2 files? is enough using chunk 256mb to compress it? Or i can increase the chunk size? Thank you

Why use old xtool with new xtool? And why skip parameter?

You tried compressing on just a single file. When you compress all the files it will be stuck forever. Do not try this as this is wrong.

Wtf. Why not use the correct codecs with appropriate chunk size instead?

And do not use the skip option if you don't know what you do.

Because the codecs can't read the stream of the file. The files contains encoded lz4 that can be compressed only using a certain plugin 'mstarfield' (starfield.dll). Leave out the wwise sound files and compress using that algo.. wwise sound can only be compressed using srep+lzma (as of my knowledge right now)

Here is my DSG_Settings for starfiled, is this right or not?

Quite a lot of audio in Starfield is WWISE PCM - meaning you can use MSC on it.

Other type of WWISE audio is Vorbis, which you can read more about in WemTool topic.

^Yes, all of the *WwiseSounds* are PCM. The Language files are Vorbis it seems.

Code:
Streams: 18613 / 18613
Time: 00:03:05 (CPU 00:16:04)
Duplicates: 109 (100 MB) [113 MB >> 35.3 MB]

Size: 19.3 GB >> 6.94 GB >> 6.90 GB

Additional decoding memory is 79.7 MB
Decoding speed improved by up to 1.01x

Done!!!
I used flac plugin with l8 option here. I guess msc is better in terms of ratio but alot slower.

PS: And compression for the other files, files which have "02 00 00 00" in the beginning are compressed with zlib, "03 00 00 00" are compressed with lz4.

As for the WEM files in Starfield, seems like it does not make sense to process them.

xtool:dd3:l4
Code:
Compressed 125,234 files, 1,993,236,804 => 1,878,585,133 bytes. Ratio 94.25%
Compression time: cpu 6.13 sec/real 44.43 sec = 14%. Speed 44.87 mB/s
All OK

Compressed 1 file, 1,870,743,269 => 1,839,107,129 bytes. Ratio 98.31%
Compression time: cpu 0.52 sec/real 63.26 sec = 1%. Speed 29.57 mB/s
All OK

xtool:mstarfield+xtool:mreflate+srep_new+lolz/lzma seems correct for all .ba2 files except WWise Sound files. Also as of now, DSG won't be able to extract the files. You need to do it with your installer only.
