Rpcs3: Regression: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - Missions with required equipment refuse to start (#9065)

Created on 19 Oct 2020 · 4Comments · Source: RPCS3/rpcs3

Missions that require a certain item in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker cannot be started even after equipping the required item. This issue didn't happen on previous builds of RPCS3. Unfortunately I can't recall exactly after which build this problem started to happen as there have been multiple releases since the last time I played the game. I'm fairly sure this bug has never happened on original PS3 hardware as well.

I've tried both PAL and NTSC versions of the game, the bug happens on both of them.

Screenshots and the log file have all been uploaded here.

After testing many builds,i can conclude that the new builds re the problem. Build 11032 breaks peace walker for me. Every build from 11023 and before works flawlessly. Please look into this, rpcs3 team.

It's possible that 0.0.12-11032 (#9065) breaks it, but weird
Can you confirm?
Confirmed through Discord

After investigation the change to return a real mac address is the one that breaks it, I want to investigate a bit further before doing a revert(kinda worried it would break lan games).
