I tested it exactly the result was above 4 gigabytes.

Anyway, it does not matter.

I don´t know what happened in the past but i dont think that Simorq told that with bad intentions. Sometimes we get things wrong due to our basic english knowledge, we can even offend without intention (at least in my case).What im not finding nice is the removing of the posts giving JustFun now a lot of work to clean up the index.

^^ Exactly this

@darkwolves
I can still see all your posts, I have read through a lot of them, I can see you have helped a lot of people and I can also see that a lot of people have helped you.

I have quoted a few of your posts to highlite a few things you have previously said on the forum .....

you never know that could be the only person around at the time that can help you..
with problems you may be having with tools
and they likley won't if they do not like you

What you see as 'critics' and 'criticism' is people being honest.

it was brought to my attention something was not right about the game repack
level i investigated and discoverd it was an early crappy incomplete 3dm version
have repacked the full version of the game game different ratio on it now can you please change it to the new info...

^if people didnt 'criticise' your work then you would not have learnt new methods and learnt simpler better ways of doing things.
Dont take things to heart, people are not here to disrespect your work, they are here to learn, as you yourself said 'we are all here for the same reason'.

'JustFun' has put a lot of time and effort into the Index and I'm sure he is very proud of his work and would be disappointed to now see some of it has been a waste of time, just like everyone who puts a lot of time and effort into creating the 'Best Compression Methods'

Please rethink the deletion of your posts and think about allowing me to 'restore' them all, I can do that quite easily.

At first, thanks for letting Grumpy restore the posts.

Different sizes could be so many things, maybe you have ripped some files? Also from my little experience, lolz should not give so hugh differences and not always higher means better (got some games on lolz with some mb less on low settings then on higher settings, strange...). I think the best thing is to know first how much GB the game has after installing, this way you know if your total game size matches Simorqs one, if not it could be dlcs, language files, etc..

I dont think that nobody here was saying that you were dishonest, simorq only said that it was wrong because he tested it too, i think he used your method and said that something was wrong, sometimes we can have even a typing error (3 is next to 4 on the keyboard). I dont have any of the Devil May Cry games, so i cant look to it too, never liked those games hehehe.

Do you actually check for crc on compressions? Sometimes it can happen that ultraarc doesnt include all files without giving error. I usually do a sfv file from the original install and check it on the repack (it tells if there are bad or missing files).

[darkwolves]

no i didnt rip anything i've always admitted to ripping recoding etc and i don't use ultraarc
what i use is a compressor based off one panker made
i redid the entire compressor with my own settings
and the tools i use i have gatherd overtime
as far as the crc no never check
apon installing the game is 24 gigs ran a test play off my last save file
nothing appeared out of place

EDIT: I have restored 41 posts in the 'Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A' only, you may want to check to make sure there are no other posts you would like me to restore from other threads or check that the ones I have restored were not meant to be deleted for other legit reasons.

[K4miKaZe]

No idea, with a crc file it should be easy to see if there is something missing. I recommend to do it on every pack because even if the game starts and is playable it can have missing files or bad files. Maybe different game versions or something (not always us and eu versions are exactly the same). But if you two say that your original size are 27.0gb then its strange like hell but it can be that the data on this 27gb is slightly different (maybe you dont have same amount of vids but have other files like dlc stuff or something). Thats why sfv files are so useful too. And game updates can make hugh differences too, for example on one of my last games, hitman, i had it previously on 22,8gb but have redone it after the 1.14.2 patch (around 300mb more in size). Doing it with same method gave me 22,6 (even with the game having bigger size).

Edit: Grumpy, thank you very much for taking your time and restoring them !!!

honestly i am not at all worried i test unpack after anything i do i use 3 data files to prevent me from having to redo an entire game if only one section messes up
