Graphics stutters when the mouse is moving or a key is pressed

Hello,
since today (so it may be linked to a recent update) sometime (at random) when I play a game, it starts to stutter A LOT. But only when I move the mouse or when I press a key. As soon as i stop moving or pressing keys the frame rate returns to normal. Also when i quit and relaunch the game it s working again, for few seconds to several minutes.
Both are plugged into USB 3.0 ports.
Mouse : Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed
Keyboard : Logitech G413 SE

I removed everything plugged into all other USB ports with no effect on this issue.

I don’t know where to look (still new into linux, only 6 month now)

After some test, the same game on lutris don t have this issue, but on Steam it has it.

i’m using GE-Proton9-20 on steam and lutris-GE-proton8-26 on lutris (obviously :slight_smile: ) But it worked fine since proton 9-20’s release, it’s just today :frowning:

I downgraded to proton-experimental : same issue (and also very poor performance).
I had to downgrade back to GE-Proton9-17, it used to work, but with no success. I m realy lost right now

Carolly, on the Glorious Eggroll discord, suggested adding LD_PRELOAD="" %command% in my launch args;

And this seems to have solved my issue.
