Game Disappears After Changing Timestamp

Hello,

I'm experiencing a problem when trying to organize my games by manually editing the dates and times.

Sometimes I adjust the timestamps to keep games from the same franchise grouped together in the correct order. Recently, I tried doing this with my four versions of Resident Evil 4 (2005). The last one I edited was the PS4 version.

The issue is that after I change the date and time, the game disappears from my list. It is not visible anymore in the normal game list, and I can only find it by searching for the title using the search function.

This seems to happen specifically with Resident Evil 4 (2005), while I have been able to organize other games without problems.

Could you please let me know what might be causing this issue and if there is a way to fix it?

Thank you for your help.
 
What did you change the last played date to or was it reverted since? I still see all instances of RE4 2005 on your profile even without using a search.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally click the Hide Game checkbox when doing it?

Hello,

Yes, you are currently able to see all of my Resident Evil 4 entries because I removed the custom date and restored the original timestamp after noticing the issue.

To demonstrate the problem again, I have just edited the date of the PlayStation 3 version of Resident Evil 4 (2005).

The date I set is July 22. Based on the order of my games, it should appear between the PS4 version of Resident Evil 4 and Gravity Rush 2 (which was last played on July 18). However, the PS3 version does not appear there at all.

The game is not hidden. If I go to the search tab and search for "Resident Evil 4", the PS3 version appears correctly with the July 22 date that I assigned. The problem is that it does not show up in the normal game list where it should be displayed according to the timestamp.

If I remove the custom date and restore the original one, the game immediately appears in the normal list again.

So the issue only occurs after I edit the date/time of that game. It remains searchable, but it disappears from the main game list.
