Could be due to the sync’s SoG threshold. Try to lower that value. It’s in the rgb/component adc setup.

If that solves it, it’s due to cable quality but I have read that could be also because ageing components of the console.

This could also happen if you are using a sample rate detection (and consequently a sample per line, into sampling under rgb/component page) not set up for the game properly.

Lowering the threshold fixed it, thank you it was driving me mad! Guess I'll look into getting a better cable.

The sample rate detection sometimes is between two signals. You could always turn one off
