My computer is suddenly struggling to run Skyrim LE after the latest update for Ubuntu 22?

This has been going on for a few days now. My computer did a major update, and after that my computer struggles with Skyrim LE even though it had no issue at all before that. The spikes mainly happen during combat, particularly dragon fights, making the game nigh impossible to play. Even simply walking around is grueling because of the lag spikes.
I tried to change my emulator to proton 10 ge from proton 8 ge, but that only made my game run worse. I tried to revert to the last version, but that just made my computer freeze. I did this through the menu that comes up if you press esc during start up. Its the same menu that appears after a major update at times. I selected version 5, but as stated that didn't end well. I even reinstalled my graphics driver, but that made no difference at all either.
I'm at a loss as to what else to do. I can't continue my playthrough because my game is now practically unplayable even though it was fine just before. I was hoping another update would fix this after people complained, but nothing has happened other than updates for something called iproute2. I can't even find an option on my comp to issue a report about the problem I'm having.
What else can I do here?
And no, my steam is NOT installed through snap. I learned that the hard way when I first installed ubuntu years ago.
update: Well, I got another major update. It both updated the kernal, and some of the updates even named my graphics card driver. After that, my game runs like it did before, perhaps better even. I'd still like to know what happened. Version right now is showing Ubuntu 22.0.4.5 LTS. Graphics driver is nvidia 580. And yes, I know that's not the most up to date version, I had to set it to that to keep firefox from crashing on me randomly. It had no impact on my games fortunately enough.
