Yeah, since that update, one of the games I play - XCOM Enemy Unknown - suddenly has extremely poor performance. FPS drops to 3-4 fps. It used to work fine before. I don't know what happened.
I need help!
Do you have protonup-qt installed? Can you try using it to install standard Proton-GE instead of WINE-GE?
Heroic launcher has a proton/wine manager. You can pick from a list and then select the one you want when you run the game.
I tried with both latest and the result was the same.
I know. I meant there's a flapak app that lets you download more and newer versions of Proton. I can't promise it'll fix your issue but it might be worth trying.
That same functionality is built into Heroic. There's no reason to install a redundant manager.
