So GT7 has been giving me fits lately, and the probability has been increasing over time. It plays fine, but it's more to do with booting-up and updating/applying cars' liveries*. I think it's time for a fresh install. I am not too concerned about losing progress, either 1P or Sport mode as everything is backed up on the PSN cloud. However, I do have a couple other concerns. If I uninstall and reinstall the game:
-Will I lose all my saved race photos?**
-Will I lose all my saved replays?**
-Will I lose all of my saved liveries? Even the ones I've downloaded from others but slightly modified for my use?
Admittedly, I am a bit paranoid about doing the uninstall/reinstall because ya never really know until it's too late. Digital Edition on PS5 if it matters.
*I'd say 25% of the time I try and launch the game it just spins indefinitely. I'll quit out and try again, 95% of the second time it works. If not, I have to do it again and it's never taken more than three tries.
It is also not allowing me to update liveries, change oil, etc. When I go into those interfaces, I get the same GT7 buffering logo indefinitely again. I have to back out and try again but it rarely works. There are a couple different way's I've been able to increase the probability of it working, but it's getting quite old. It's a crapshoot, as sometimes it does but often it does not. Hoping a reboot of the game will fix these issues.
**I realize I can "share" them but I am speaking specifically of the ones I've not shared. That being said, many of the liveries I cannot share as someone else made the base and I just made some changes. Seems benign enough but I've got a lot of time in making updates in different colors/configurations. Losing these is what concerns me more than anything.
Anyone have similar experiences and find a different fix? Or done the uninstall/reinstall that fixed them?
PS - I did a search but didn't find anything regarding my specific questions. I did see I'll lose my custom races but I am not worried about that.

I then rebooted the PS5 due to the big install and then it fired up the first time so I guess time will tell as to whether or not that issue is fixed.
