    I haven’t been able to identify a pattern in when the black lines appear, but I will keep a look out and take a screen shot when I can. I have however read up on vertical sync after you mentioned it, and that might just be it! I will try turning it on to see if that makes a difference and get back to you as soon as I can.

    Vertical Sync worked! The camera movement is nice and smooth and I no longer see black lines when going into a loading screen. Thank you so much! I've been trying to crack this one for days, I didn't know what vertical sync was so I never would have tried it on my own. Thanks again for helping out a fellow noob🙂

      Great! If you hover your pointer over the graphics options settings you will get a little pop-up explaining what each of them do 🙂
