no, it's not xmem. I have tried also various offsets and xmem crashes ever so it's not it.
I have tried also to see if with findxor was possible to find something readable but nothing.

I saw a news on a japanese forum said that the compression it use is called "xcompression" from X360 SDK.
Which is the same as MS LZX used in their cab file!?

I love this game as well, hope that someone could figure out a decompression method!

judging the tests performed with libmspack and xmemcompress the algorithms of the so called "lzx used in CABs" and the xmem one are differents (maybe just a bit) because libmspack isn't able to unpack the data compressed with XMemCompress using the CAB or the CHM settings.

this can be verified also with quickbms which implements all the 3 algorithms.

while about this SC4 game from my tests the XMemDecompress function crashes ever in any case even adding additional zero bytes (for example like I did with DMC4 with success) or starting the decompression from different offsets.

so if it's xcompress... prove it :)
maybe it could use different initialization parameters (all supported by quickbms) but it's rare.

I had downloaded the demo few day ago and found that the compression is a bit different like LZ!?

Here are some files if anyone is interested in this game!

this is the same format used also in other games like Wolfenstein and the game posted here viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3891

just for keeping the thread updated, I have been able to successfully decompress the 0x0FF512EE files but still no luck with the 0x0FF512ED ones

an idea, in the meantime that I solve the technical doubts why not using directly the xbdecompress.exe tool?
it works perfectly so who cares? :)
