@K4miKaZe what the settings for srep and lolz when you install the game...

doofoo24, settings are default except for the thread usage on lolz. Reduced it to 80%, doesnt make much difference in time (at least on some AC games). Thats my default settings on all games for the installer. Srep version and lolz version for decompression is the used on the ASIS Script.

Also, m2f should be faster on installation as you say. The ratio you loose with srep can be fixed a bit more with higher lolz settings but on my case if i go a little bit above on lolz settings it takes a lot more time on compression.Thats not a problem on small games but with huge game size it can be a nightmare. What you can do with srep m3f is a double installer for more and less ram, times should be 20-30% faster on installation. Didnt checked it with gta but with hitman i got it 6 minutes lower on installation.
