Well...

Streams: 4 / 1635
Time: 00:00:10 (CPU 00:01:49)

Size: 74.7 MB >> 74.8 MB

100%
Errorlevel=0

Compressed 1 file, 78,370,496 => 78,393,862 bytes. Ratio 100.03%
Compression time: cpu 0.02 sec/real 10.45 sec = 0%. Speed 7.50 mB/s
All OK

You have to use levels

-mzstd:l19

fragments.rpf
Compressed 2 files, 2,010,618,688 => 3,723,785,054 bytes. Ratio 185.21%

[KaktoR]

Not all streams are processed, there are still many left behind.

I'm using this method for all *.rpf files in Red Dead Redemption. But Diskspan throws an error at 9.2% while archiving. I'm not sure what the issue is.

xtool:mzstd,l19:zstd_152+srep_new:393b+lolz

The error message is this but I have plenty of disk space:

ERROR: write error (disk full?) in compression algorithm xtool:t100p:mzstd,l19

You need old version Xtool. 0.78 as example.
I also had an error on version 0.89

Use frostbite3 bf2042 plugin

And thanks for the library.


frostbite3.ini bf2042

Library loaded: oo2core_9_win64.dll

Streams: 547329 / 550929
Time: 00:01:47 (CPU 00:10:09)

Done!!!

kraken,l8

XTool is created by Razor12911

Version 0.8.9

kraken with oodle library 2.9.5 also works, not 497320 / 497320 streams tho

Edit: nvm, i sent this before KaktoR edited his message lol

[KaktoR]

There is still space for improvement but I am not familiar with that configuration for frostbite engine

Edit: Use unbound config

And which xtool version you tested ?

[KaktoR]

-mfrostbite3:nfsub

Latest xtool

But prepare for long installation times with problably not much ratio improvement.
