should correct it. (:
He said "it does not work".

But he didn't say what happened.

I posted the error in the first post. It's the same error all the time.

here is similar discussion on Stack Overflow

3 ways to fix it
Use raw strings or double your backslashes or use forward slashes
r"\b" = raw string
"'\\b'" = double backslash
"/b" = forward slash

And you're calling it "the same error" ???

Finally, after 3 different people told you, now you're posting the actual error. This means the data is not compressed with LZ4, but different compressor. You need a script for BF3, not BF4. They are different, and since you never posted the script you used, nobody could help you.

The errors seemed identical to me, I saw them so many times they blurred together. I told you I suck at anything coding-related.

I was looking for a BF3 script, and they said this worked on BF3, that's why I used it. I will see if I can find a BF3 script.
