Prettyboy099 I suggest you to use FreeArc next time you want to compress your conversions, thus to avoid having 2 files like the one you posted here.
Here are the sizes of your conversion with Winrar and FreeArc:
Winrar=106Mb
FreeArc=90Mb

[Prettyboy099]

Surely, Winrar sucks now a days....
I compressed again with 7zip based bat file compressor that came with DiskSpan and Compressed size is 90.4 MB.....
It's better to be a single file, so I re-uploaded it.....

I've been looking at your conversion and noticed that you used the WinVerBuild= key in the system requirements sections.

This key works together with WinVerMajor= and WinVerMinor= and ServicePack=.
If you choose to use the System= key you can only use this:

System=Windows 10 build 1909

I found the minimum VRAM requirements quite strange, but from what I researched a GTX 970 (4 GB) runs at HIGH level at 29 FPS. If this information is true then the minimum requirements must be exaggerated.

Thanks, I did not know.... In next update, I will fix it.....

I think I took the sys. req. from GameSpot... which posted the given req...
But Given req. of min and recom. matches that of Steam page....

No need to change. I reviewed it and found that it works that way too.
If you don't write the word build in the System= key line, the default value from the winverbuild= key will be read (see red color part code below).

function GetSystemReq(Key, Section: String): Integer;
begin
  case LowerCase(Key) of
    'winvermajor' : Result := WindowsRequirimentsFromString(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, GetValInt(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, 0));
    'winverminor' : Result := WindowsRequirimentsFromString(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, GetValInt(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, 0));
    'winverbuild' : Result := WindowsRequirimentsFromString(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, GetValInt(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, 0));
    'servicepack' : Result := WindowsRequirimentsFromString(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, GetValInt(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, 0));
    'ram'         : Result := Trunc(GetSizeBytes(GetValStr(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, ''), 0) / PowerK(1, POWER_MB));
    'videoram'    : Result := Trunc(GetSizeBytes(GetValStr(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, ''), 0) / PowerK(1, POWER_MB));
    else
      Result := GetValInt(Section + 'SystemReq', Key, 0);
  end;
end;

SUGGESTION (Perhaps this will be useful in another project):
See what it looks like if you include the CIU title option.

>> Setup.ini changes:

[SetupTitle]
Left=56
Top=13
Font=cocogoose letterpress
Visible=1

[SetupTitleAR]
Left=56
Top=14
Font=cocogoose letterpress
Visible=1

With compression method: [7] xZLib + SREP + LOLZ
Result is:
Input Size: 29.91 GB.
Output Size: 28.1 GB.

The game contains these two files:
oo2core_8_win64.dll
oo2net_8_win64.dll

I guess the only way to have a good compression ratio is to use oodle method.

So, any tip to compress Deathloop?


Thanks in advance!!

[Prettyboy099]

Yeah, .resources files respond only to oo2reck8...
I compressed a small file 'rsc_images_14_0.resources' with oo2reck8, it gave result....

30,303,727 bytes => 41,937,255 bytes

Also Razor12911 posted a Deathloop Plugin, we have to wait for someone making it work with DiskSpan....
Also don't use bpk on .bk2 files, gives crc error....

I already include the plugin in the current DiskSpan GUI, but I'm still adding new features and it might take a while.
Whenever you have requests to include support for a plugin, send me a PM, or add it yourselves just by editing the "DSG_Methods.ini" file and including the necessary files.

So I've attached an update so I can use the plugin in this DEATHLOOP conversion.
Replace resource folder after extracting conversion and accept replacement of all files.
It also includes 4 presets using the plugin that can be chosen directly from the method combobox.
I haven't tested the plugin's inclusion in DiskSpan GUI, but I believe it works correctly.

P.S: For other conversion developers using DiskSpan GUI version 2.0.0.2 you can also replace the files, but just delete the "Resources\DSG_Settings.ini" file from the update to not replace your DiskSpan GUI settings.

[Prettyboy099]

Setup updated....
1. DiskSpan updated to latest 2.0.0.9.....
2. Game size updated to 30 GB.....
3. Added setup for one language.....
