Thanks for all your efforts but somehow it isn't the same for me. You did mention you have a SSD, that isn't standard in the Steam Deck or is it? I got an unmodified Steam Deck, so maybe that's the deciding factor?
I also got the update and it made me hopefully, but no change. I made sure Heroic isn't running through proton as you said.
There seems to be a "low spec" version available via Steam beta program that could resolve this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1985960/discussions/2/4516632045452106751/
However this is not available on Epic Games as far as I can tell. I tried setting graphics to low to see if that is it, but also no change. I give up for now but maybe a future update will make it work.
All Steam Decks come with an SSD of varying sizes for their base storage, so you definitely have one. If I remember correctly the original 64GB LCD model had a slower nvme SSD, but all the other models should be similar performance SSD-wise.
Maybe if you have an LCD Deck, and I have an OLED, that was the difference? I know they don't function much differently in most ways, but I have heard that there are some slight background tech differences between them that have them perform differently in some scenarios.
Can't say we didn't try though!
