Thanks for the info.

👍
Are the gear names back after updating to v1.10? Broken thumbnails is not a big deal (fixable), even if all 2000 thumbnails are broken I would still do it.
Np

Yeap everything is back.
I have 2 things to add...1 bad and 1 good/odd...
The bad 1st,
The car thumbnails arent missing in "just a lot of cars" ....none of the cars have thumbnails

...it looks like they have thumbnails but if you change the display in extra large thumbnails (i have about 1060 cars) not even 1 have thumbnail....
Now the good/odd thing
The good thing (and that is really interesting)...i'll do an intro to say exactly how it happened.
I deleted the Game data via XMB, i disabled the Internet via XMB, i've started the game just to have a look to see how things looks and if everything is in place....Quited the game enabled Internet on the PS3, (i havent signed in to PSN) updated GT5 and when i got to the Home Screen, i got 2 tickets

.
I am not joking, it gave me the CLK-LM Race Car for completing something in the AMG event...but i have golden the AMG before 6 months or so???

and the other ticket is.....sorry i cant recall the ticket now i am in the middle of glitching the 24h nurburgring Endurance and i cant check.
Anyway...
When i saw the pop-ups saying "you got the ticket blah blah blah" ...i though, ok the game gone nuts, it wont actually give me the tickets....well it did!
I had 6 tickets and now i have 8, i checked, rechecked, quited/reboot the game, sign in/out to psn, and the tickets are still there...
Something is terribly wrong with this games, i wonder if i delete the game data again, will it give same 2 tickets again ????
