Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[L33THAK0R]

Hey all,

I've been giving "Grim Dawn" a looksie and was wondering if anyone might be able to clear something up

All OK

I've tried levels 1 - 9 so far and I only get maybe ~1 additional stream for each level increment, and I've tested essentially every version of LZ4 under the sun, (other versions only resulting in ~<100 streams being picked up), would anyone happen to know if its possible to pick up more streams or is it more likely that LZ4 was used very lightly and the other streams are inconsequential.
