Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Decompression uses the cpu, so you loose performance if you compress textures.
Just use delta transfer, and compress for transit and decompress on the host during install like steam does.
Technology that's been around for decades and yet for some reason so many game launchers don't make use of it.
I was referring to the hard drive, not the download. I think loading times increases if you have the textures compressed.
Yeah but if you decompress on install then you're not loading compressed textures.
