You can use the xtool plugin from Razor12911 for this game.

Place the files in DSG folder and select the plugin on custom tab.
I just tested with a single file and it works.

Try to increase the chunk size.
Example

c16mb
Streams: 16463 / 16463
Time: 00:00:22 (CPU 00:01:55)

Size: 904 MB >> 1.13 GB



c128mb
Streams: 34470 / 34470
Time: 00:01:00 (CPU 00:05:33)

Size: 904 MB >> 1.61 GB

DSG example

 xtool:msodf+xtool:mzstd:zstd_150
Compressed 1 file, 947,551,704 => 1,211,599,784 bytes. Ratio 127.87%
Compression time: cpu 0.41 sec/real 24.32 sec = 2%. Speed 38.96 mB/s
All OK


 xtool:c128mb:msodf+xtool:mzstd:zstd_150
Compressed 1 file, 947,551,704 => 1,732,978,265 bytes. Ratio 182.89%
Compression time: cpu 0.45 sec/real 63.92 sec = 1%. Speed 14.82 mB/s
All OK

You can also try with higher chunk sizes like c256mb or c512mb and see what happens.

Where to change the DSG? in DSG_Settings? or like this?

xtool:msodf+xtool:mzstd:zstd_150+xtool:c256mb

[KaktoR]

Like in my previous example

xtool:c256mb:msodf+xtool:mzstd:zstd_150+....
