if you uninstall the game, do you lose all the uploaded custom portraits?

I spent 10+ hours filling up all the custom officer slots with previous titles' and other historical officer images. I don't plan to play this game until (if) PK comes out. But I'm wondering if uninstalling will also mean all the custom image slots are now gone and I need to reupload them again in the future?

All data related to custom officers is stored in ~\Documents\KoeiTecmo\SAN8R

This includes all data from the Officer CG Edit tool along with every custom officer you created. So, yeah. You're safe to uninstall the game. Might not be a bad idea to make a backup of said folder while you're at it.

I actually know this already lol since I transferred my officers from 14 to 8RE. Sorry I wasn't clear with my question but I'm actually concerned with the specific PORTRAITS I used. AFAIK, those couldn't be carried over with the mydocuments files because the images are not stored in there, only the officer info like names and stats.

Looks like the portraits are stored in the ADD_FACE folder as bin.zp files. I have no idea how to open these, but I might mess around with them later when I get the chance. I'll keep you posted if I figure out a way to extract the images.

So I did a bit of experimenting and as far as RoTK 8 Remake is concerned, yeah you're safe to uninstall the game as long as you keep that ~\Documents\KoeiTecmo\SAN8R folder. I uninstalled the game and even reformatted the drive the game was on without losing my custom officers (includes officers using base game images as well as uploaded images).

When it comes to the future porting of officers to a newer RoTK game, I'm afraid we all are out of luck. That ~\Documents\KoeiTecmo\SAN8R\ADD_FACE folder I mentioned only contains the uploaded images from the Officer CG Edit Tool and nothing related to base game portraits, so cross your fingers that Koei at least lets that data be transferable between games. Otherwise, you'll likely have to do the same thing you did when transferring from 14 to 8 Remake where you get to keep names and stats, but have to reassign portraits, relations, and whatever else Koei doesn't allow to be transferred.

Thanks a lot!
