So it got me thinking what my refresh rate would do for my issue.
Changed my monitors refresh rate from 144hz to 60hz, and the issue went away completely from what I could tell. Changed it to 120hz and it came back. 100 hz and it was only there slightly. 90hz and I didn't see it for a small amount of time I was trying this.
I don't know what would cause this issue to happen and any help to alleviate this would be appreciated.
Oh and here is an image of what it looks like. It would change depending on where I was, what was on screen, like if I moused over an assembler or something. Also, it didn't seem to happen during the night unless around a lot of lamps. I should add, I've never noticed this in any other game that I've played since getting this monitor, so it's only Factorio.
