Quick summary

When launching a game (Rock Band 1 and 2 specifically) the logos for the ESRB rating and developers/publisher flash on the screen for a split second and then disappear, rather than staying on the screen for a few seconds as is expected.

Details

I'm not a developer, but from tinkering with the settings my best guess is that this has to do with the Write Color Buffers option; when this option is disabled, the logos appear on the screen the expected amount of time, but some flicker while they are displayed. Videos of Write Color Buffers enabled/disabled attached.

Tested with both Vulkan and OpenGL, V-Sync on/off, full screen vs. windowed, approximate/precise ZCULL accuracy and approximate/accurate SPU XFloat. As said earlier, the only option that seems to affect this is Write Color Buffers, but it experiences display issues whether it is enabled/disabled and is not a fix.

I have also done a clean install of my GPU drivers and have removed/rebuilt all caches for the game. I'm certain this is a regression, as I did not experience this until about a month or two ago. Not the biggest deal in the world but it could possibly have implications for other games as well. As far as I know, in-game does not experience graphical glitches, but I have not played enough to say for sure.

I also confirmed the issue is present with a freshly downloaded/configured version of RPCS3.

Incorrect regression report, missing log file from the last good build

Apologies for that; it's taking me some time to track down the exact build where this stopped working. I'll do my best to narrow it down and upload logs from the working build.

Is this still broken? A few fixes have gone out for some other graphics regressions.
