Many Games Suddenly Crash On Startup (Latest Ubuntu)
All games were working fine, Heroic started notifying that several games had update available, then a few days after that several but not all games crash out on startup but launch ok from Steam after adding as "Non-Steam Game" so it's probably not something like a video driver update.

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

Have reinstalled some of the games and reinstalled Heroic, have switched around Wine and Proton startup settings

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton with umu instead:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
2. Enable umu in "Settings" (Heroic sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Use UMU as Proton runtime"
Note: For a visual guide, see attached image
3. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
4. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
current-name to current-name_bak. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings.
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.

sounds like nvidia+flatpak+drivers issue, wine is trying to use your intel GPU
