MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab, MD5 Hash: Compute)

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When playing a level with Store EFB Copies to Texture Only, certain objects (most notably Donkey Kong's head) will flicker in and out of existence.

Unchecking Store EFB Copies to Texture Only fixes the problem (at the expense of making those objects appear pixelated, by that's to be expected). However, this option is off my default and is not automatically enabled by the game's ini file.

The ini for Donkey Kong Country Returns should automatically disable Store EFB Copies to Texture Only to prevent this problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Start the game and enter any level.

I am running macOS, and thus by extension am using the openGL backend.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes. 5.0-6022

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

I'm not not sure a fifo log will be useful, because they need EFB Copies to Texture Only to be enabled, which fixes the problem. That said, I have uploaded a log to Dropbox (it was too large to attach).
