Unlike standard ZIP or RAR, repackers employ FreeArc in combination with Precomp . Precomp identifies and reverses standard compression within the game’s own .pssg (the EGO Engine’s proprietary texture/container format) and .bik (Bink video) files. By decompressing these files into a more predictable state, FreeArc can then apply dictionary-based compression (e.g., LZMA2) with absurdly high (but slow) settings. For F1 2014 , the repetitive nature of track-side objects (billboards, fences, crowd meshes) across 19 circuits allows the compression dictionary to find immense redundancy. f1 2014 highly compressed repack
