mcm takes huge time for decompression. e.g. I had compressed one file which was around 1.5GB of size. It took almost 50 min to decompress.

If you are using it with other tools and file size is say 4GB it may take around 2.5 hours appr.

This application has nothing to do with compression on its own. It uses different tools in background to compress the files..

There are many different tools available.. some are game specific.. some are game engine specific.. some are media stream related.. and some are for general compression..

So selecting the right method is the key for high compression ratio.. and compression time and decompression time varies from tool to tool..

So there is no straight answer to your question..

You can refer the below thread to know game specific most optimal method..

@ravikant

What errors are you having?

[Evil_1993]

Thank you for your program, but there is a problem, the compression mode without temporary files is buggy, then it works, then it does not pop up an error: The program is terminated arc.exe here is the config
[External compressor:zstd]
header = 0
packcmd = zstd\zstd.exe {options} <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = zstd\zstd.exe -d -f -T2 <stdin> <stdout>

@Evil_1993

Try replacing STDIO with $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

e.g.

[External compressor:zstd]
header = 0
packcmd = zstd\zstd.exe {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = zstd\zstd.exe -d -f -T2 $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

This command works tested
