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.

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.
