version 2024-03-16 windows 10 x64

sfx created with freearc "original" setup cannot start if larger than 4gb, and sometimes cannot be closed unless the process was terminated via task manager

I believe, Windows cannot load PE executables larger than 4 GB, so the only thing You are probably left to do, is well, to try shrinking the file less than 4 GB. I've seen a method among some repacks larger than the 4 GB size, they move the compressed files outside of the executable. Not sure how to achieve that, but maybe that could be a feature for the future release of this compressor?

Oh, I haven't done compressing for a while now, and only hopped in here because I thought I might clarify that this exact issue is with caused by the Windows OS loader, and give a suggestion. But if that helps somehow, I can try to compress a large game using diskspan when I have some free time and report what happens
