Games take 6+ minutes to load after Heroic major update
I noticed the issue a little while ago and it happens with every game.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling games, made sure my accounts were logged in. GoG games have this issue as well, so not a DRM issue. Cleared Heroic cache, reset Heroic. Reinstalled the flatpak with Terminal as stated in the FAQ. Changed from Wine to Proton. Nothing works but this didnt always happen.
I have a 512GB LCD Steam Deck, no mods (stock, Heroic Launcher, and EmuDeck). 65.7GB free space, running games from internal memory. Steam installed games and EmuDeck games don't have this issue.
Thank you to whoever can help me.

some users have reported slow start of games months ago and it was something related to their internet connection, disabling the internet connection seems to make the game start fast as a workaround
I think one user mentioned that changing the system's DNS servers made it go fast again

Thank you, that fixed it. Never saw those complaints and searching for the delay didn't bring me any answers. Had to change DNS to fix it
