Proton games run extremely slow after updating Nvidia driver

After updating Nvidia drivers with ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa all my games installed through Heroic became impossible to play since they started to run at 1 FPS. I tried with steam games and those didn´t have this issue.

yes Ok managed to fix(?) this, i'm using Ubuntu 24.04 and it uses X11 by default, everything was ok while using the drivers that came with the fresh install of Ubuntu, but after updating the Nvidia drivers all games installed trough Heroic stopped working, however selecting "Ubuntu on Wayland" at the login screen fixed the issue. On Wayland for some reason everything just works again as it used to be without reinstalling drivers or reinstalling games.
