Show off how much space you've saved

[Freaky]

What good is a forum if you don't put mundane crap on it? :P

As of my most recent compaction, my 863 GiB Steam folder stands at - appropriately for 2020 - 666.66 GiB on-disk.

Why do I hear trumpets?

It was quite the sight when I've observed that there is a 60GB difference. Thanks for making this tool. :)

how do you compress that much i literyally compressed a 300gig hard drive and got 10 gigs

I wonder how much this tool can compress ARK: Survival Evolved

[Freaky]

One of the more compressible games, from what I've seen.

Just recompressed the last patch. it takes way longer for the whole game, but yeah all interesting numbers are there

Indie games are more compressible than AAA games in my case.


Thank you for this tool

Great tool. I love it. Especially the internal compression test is so underestimated. Very useful and blazing fast.

With so many games I also need to exclude files with the file patterns. Especially MMO games which uses diff-patches and decompress files every time when patching something. Compactor recompresses it afterwards, so i need to prevent it with this function to not compress over and over again. Many thanks for that possibility.

Here are two screens from my library.

ordered by size descending

and ordered by compression ratio descending

That also shows the relation, or at least confirms the tendency, that AAA games are less compressible (except ARK), and indie games are better compressible.

I hope for some people that information is interesting too.

Indie games end up being more compressible on average because they usually aren't properly compressed to begin with.
