Thank you and maybe someone know right compress method for this game? I try compress this game with this method but didn't get good ratio.

Guys, are you sure only 2% of compression is ok!? I used 36GB DODI repack for installing it on my PC.
Maybe the compression key is not correct or something!

DoDi
Repack Size : From 36.6 GB
Final Size : 46 GB
Lossless repack : Nothing removed OR re-encoded
Install Time : 40 – 120 Mins (Installer will seem slow in first 25 %)

Yeah, and I still prefer more compression!

I can see your point, if you are storing it on a drive, better compression would be ideal.

KaktoR · #9 18-07-2023, 06:58

There is currently a bug in DSG, so you cannot use ue5 method.
Just fyi.

Edit:
As a workaround, if you cannot wait any longer, use it as this for ucas files

Code:

xtool:c128mb:d1:mue5,k0x014AEC0148FBDEE9640633AAB67521AAB4E1083A98F76FF33DDCF78DAD05BE66+xtool:mkraken:core_2.9.5+...............

And replace unreal.dll in "Resources\PRE\XTool_2020\Plugins\Unreal_Engine.7z " with this one before you start.

Test "pakchunk0optional-WindowsNoEditor.ucas"

Code:

 16:06:04 - Overall input size: 508.61 MB
 16:06:04 - Overall output size: 1.66 GB (Ratio 335.07%)
 16:06:04 - Overall conversion time: 00:01:39

 16:07:20 - Overall decompression time: 00:01:10
 16:07:20 - All files have been successfully extracted!

Edit 2: I forgot, also update xtool.exe

I forgot I use a newer version of DSG.

Changes in DSG_Methods.ini are required aswell.

Use this fix

But:

KaktoR · #15 20-07-2023, 08:16

Yeah, thats why I always said that you should separate file types by compression. Means you should not use xtool on anything which will not benefit from it or its plugins. For example you don't use xtool:ue5 on EXE/DLL files, don't you?

This way you reduce false positives and errors drastically.

Maybe the time has come to start working with DSG and discover the true potential of this good piece of software

Eventhough it has its limitations.

And btw, I got 40.5GB out of 46GB with LZMA and this whole process took 3-4 hours. For the pak's I used lolz because LZMA took an eternity to compress due to input data.

To summ it up:
ue4 on paks
ue5 on ucas

You can even use zlib or preflate after kraken to get some aditional MB.
