Carmageddon: Rogue Shift How can I compress this game ?

Carmageddon: Rogue Shift UE4Keys : 0x7A29E66C3CB184042A44F5E35EC023504940867C382D2E8E 1185E0F146D25B45 The key audit did not take place. How can I confused:mpress this game?

^
Seems to be just kraken streams, Use the Unreal plugin in xtool..
Should look like this:
xtool.exe precomp -mue5:k0x7A29E66C3CB184042A44F5E35EC023504940867C38 2D2E8E1185E0F146D25B45+kraken -c64mb -t100p -d1

Code:

 Compressing pakchunk9-Windows.pak

Compressed 1 file, 1,587,512,507 => 4,549,507,714 bytes. Ratio 286.58%

Compression time: cpu 2.83 sec/real 686.82 sec = 0%. Speed 2.31 mB/s

All OK

the vehicle I use DiskSpan_GUI V2 2.0.2.4 / I'm trying to do it, but it's not working—please help.

^ I haven't touched diskspan for a while, but this should be the method ig:

Code:

 xtool:c32mb:d1:mue5,k0x7A29E66C3CB184042A44F5E35EC023504940867C382D2E8E1185E0F146D25B45:mkraken:core_2.9.10:lib_2+srep_new:392+LOLZ_NORMAL

It didn't work; I don't know why.

Could you use your own compression tool and share it with me for restoration?

Use ue4 instead.

Code:

xtool:d1:mue4,k0x7A29E66C3CB184042A44F5E35EC023504940867C382D2E8E1185E0F146D25B45:mkraken:core_2.9.10:lib_2

If this does not work either send sample like this
Carma\Content\Paks\pakchunk16-Windows.pak

By KaktoR**, thank you for your help. My goal is to compress certain games whenever I feel like it, but sometimes I’m not sure how to do it or where to start.

Do you think this is the best option? Is it sufficient for ultra-compression, or is there a better alternative?

how do you get this. steam amount of a file

It comes with the next xtool update.

Hello KaktoR. I compressed *Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain* using the DSG Module 2.0.2.4 version; however, the installation fails when I use the setup wizard created by mausschieber. The game files get corrupted because they do not revert to their original state during the restoration process following the compression of the game files and audio assets.

After restoring the compressed files for *Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain*, the original files are not being restored. I have prepared a detailed video regarding the issue I encountered; the video is a bit long since I recorded the entire process, but I hope it helps explain the problem.

I would like to show you the video I recorded.
