No, as this program (as I understand it) is simply moving the files around in the package, and deleting unnecessary blocks of data.

The game devs have commented about this program, so I doubt they would ban something that they use themselves.


Well, I've heard that they scan for any changes to the game files. The devs who commented here commented back in closed beta, not open beta when the heat got turned up.
The tool in my signature(which I need to remove) has a risk of banning and it doesn't modify anything about the game that you can't already do with Windows settings.
Bump, can a dev confirm or deny that this won't result in a ban if used?
I used this without issue, it only saved 20MB~ of data though lol. I assume the more patches applied the worse the fragmentation becomes? Making a defragmenter and consolidator/compression program (Like what is offered in this thread) more effective?

So basically if you were playing during Closed Beta when patches were presumably more frequent and then applied this now for the first time, you'd see a dramatic effect?

I Googled "ggpk" out of curiosity/boredom and stumbled across this tool. I saved "only" about 100 MB but load time increased noticeably, from, say, one minute to less than thirty seconds.

I think you mean reduced.


Whoops, you are correct.

Seems like it, though I have been playing off and on since July and saved a mere 100 MB. Though sporadic, I played often enough to see two generations of wiped characters.
can running this tool mess up future patching?

Don't be snide. This quote is from nearly a year ago. Information can become outdated.
I'm afraid this is still safe to use.

Damn, and I was hoping it would build us the T-1000 to help with the graphics load :/
