Using mulithreading u can achieve better speed than lzma during compression while maintaining same compression ratio.
i am getting 250kbps speed using single thread and if i use 3 threads i am getting arounf 700kbps while getting same ratio. but know that u have to mtt0 (multi threading type zero) not mtt1.

lolz works only if u use it on precompressed files, it will not work if files r compressed, because in that case headers(bmp dxt) r corrupted by compressors like lz4 etc.
every repack of FG which r rerepackd , i compressed that around 70mb better than fg.
the only thing which currently FG has better than us is knownloadge about knowing how to unpack files if they cant be preprossed with ztool plzip or uelr.
hope this helps.

You can increase fba and decrease mc to get more speed at compression, it will the compression ratio, but not that much. Use more tt for better ratio and slower compression. Also check dictionary size suitable for your needs.

i've used it... thing about fitgirl she knows how to decrypt files and make them re encrypt after installing... i am still trying to figure out how she did marvel vs capcom infinite... i can't even touch it and like i said i've seen little difference using lolz

only the data folder has the frostbite 3 streams if you use it on that you should have no problems

ztool stucks for me (it doesn't proceed further). I think on one of the following files: cas_14, cas_15 or cas_16.

Not sure.

new version of RAZOR 1.03.6

just used lolz on need for speed payback instead of lzma settings i used before it was only a half a gig in compression difference

Not sure.

the one i am using does it seems people have been improving it since razor retired

what version of ztool r u using.

what setting u used for lolz. BTW decompression will be blazing fast.

plz4+srep+lolz:mc1023:fba4096:bc8:blr8:bm8h14c4:mt t0:mt2:d256m

i found 1 file in the patch folder for payback makes plz 4 lockup remove it from there and it will precompress file name and path posted below
C:\Users\Wolf\Desktop\Need for Speed Payback\Patch\Win32\configurations\streaminginstal lpackage\cas_01.cas
this is why i use 3 data files most of the time because some things i can only srep etc

as for Ztools the version found in ultraarc 2801

i am new to lolz so i do not know much about it

plz4 i use uploaded threw in the pzlib ccommands and dll files too

FIFA 18

srep+lzma => 29.2 GB (31.389.142.050 Bytes)
poodle+srep+lzma => 26.0 GB (27.952.059.040 Bytes)

I've expected more from poodle

if i am not mistaken FIFA 18 is frostbite 3

Yes with oodle compression.
