Repack Name: A.I. Invasion
Compression Methods used:
srep:m3f+lolz:dtb1:d512:dtb0:mtt0:tt1:mt2:fba256:m tb32:mc8
Media Ripped/Removed/Re-encoded: Nothing!
Original Installed Size: 968 MB
Original Repack Size: 928 MB
My Repacked Size: 928 MB
Compressed Output Size - 968 MB -> 928 MB

Output file name:

Data1.bin.001
Data2.bin.001
Data3.bin.001

Compression Time and specifications of hardware used:
Quad @ 2.90 ghz - 14 GB RAM 4 GB Vram - 15-20 Min
Decompression TIme: 5-7 Min on 2 cores, Less than 1-2 minutes on 4+
Repack made with Diskspan <c> Razor12911 and CIUv3 3.0.0.0u7 by
Cesar82 & KakTor

Note: Even though it appears to not have compressed at all, the difference is in the install time. the original took 10 minutes to install on my quad core desktop but my repack install only took 2-3 minutes at most. So no compression difference but much faster installer time.

Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics -
Original Size: 2.8 gb Installed
Final Compressed Size: 812 MB

Methods used:

First Folder - xZLib+srep:m3f+msc+lolz:dtb1:d192m:mtt1:mt4:mc1023
Second Folder - srep:m3f+msc+xZLib+srep:m3f+msc+lolz:dtb1:d192m:mt t1:mt4:mc1023

Compression Time: 3 hours
Decompression Time: 1-2 Minutes

*If you all are wondering what I mean by '#-folder' in my compression methods, i will let you all in on a little secret. If you're dealing with
a game with lots of small individual files and/or file types, such as .mov, .bik. mp4, in terms of movies, and files like .cpi from Far Cry, it is a lot more time
effecient to split the game install folder up into individual folders. Like with the game Echo for example, I put all the highly compressable files in one folder and the .mp4 cutscene
videos in a seperate folder. that way when compression time comes around, i can compress the high comp ratio files with one particular compressor and then just do a bare minimum compression on the movie files. your repack results may vary from file type to file type. just thought i'd clear this up and give a bit of insight on how i do things.*

XCOM 2 : BLACK.BK2 corrupts the archive if you compress *.bk2 and *.bik with BPK.
I hope its useful.
