It worked well

I have attached all 3 required log files
Yes

There is only one log file, not 3. There is also more than 1 build in between your broken and last good builds.

I received the update and it works again

[AniLeo]

No, it doesn't, I just marked the build as broken. We need a proper regression report that flags the offending PR correctly so it can be reverted.

@AniLeo Ok

Here it doesn't work: 0.0.42-19883

This has more than one build in between. We need the last good build and the first bad build for this issue, as indicated on the template. Without that we don't even know what is the bad build.

Ok. I'm going to test it on every build

[digant73]

the regressing build is 0.0.42-19883 (#19356). No iso is also displayed if you have them on selected VFS games path

[FrostMoonEcho]

Yeah, it works on rpcs3-v0.0.42-19879-e6744148_win64_msvc
