"mouse flickers like crazy" ... as in, mouse cursor shows & disappears rapidly?
if by chance you mean that the mouse motion isn't smooth, it could be a wayland/xwayland issue. I've came accross few older games where the mouse movement stutters noticeably, but if I use PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=0 so the game will run with xwayland, it's smooth as butter.
When looking around with the mouse, it goes back and forth and is not steady. Like a dirty mouseball back then.
I guess I need to put it into game argument? That did not work :/..

put it as environment variable in game's settings in heroic. https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Environment-Variables
this of course only works if you're using proton AND wayland (EDIT: regular valve's proton doesn't have this, btw. only some souped up forks, like proton-ge)
Put wayland on and proton 9 beta. Works now. Thanks a lot!
Something similar happened to me with Doom 64 and it stayed like that for a while, until Proton 9 was released. There was also a temporary solution but I don't remember what was it. Though you probably can find it on Doom 64's ProtonDB page.
You can try GE-Proton from version 9 I guess, unless you haven't already tried that.

No problem! I guess it was indeed a similar issue.
had this happen to me with EVE Online. What DE/WM are you using? If it's a wayland one are you using xwayland-satellite?
This issue would only happen to me with WMs like Hyprland, Niri, Sway, etc. on KDE Plasma didn't happen. the solution I found at least for Niri was ensuring xwayland-satellite was installed AND run the game in window mode.
