Something broke since 5.0-14214 (Android)

Something broke since 5.0-14214 (Android) (Edit: since 5.0-14220 see list below)

Currently, I only noticed a strong performance drop in one game "Need for Speed -Most Wanted" (GameCube). From a normal stable 50 to 60, the frame rate dropped to 20 to 30. The game also crashes at startup from time to time.
The problem has not yet been fixed with the latest version.

Logs are attached. If you need more information, feel free to ask me. In other games, the performance does not seem to have worsened.

The game also switched to widescreen mode for single frames, but this is due to the auto setting for the widescreen, if you set this manually to 16:9 the problem disappears.

Now I also noticed that some textures are not displayed correctly, especially reflections did not look correct anymore.
With 5.0-14246 (Vulcan) reflections are supernaturally bright, too. The Frame rate seems to stay stable.

I hope you can help me.

P.S.: I edited for better representation of the problem. And test it with other versions.

Snapdragon 870
Standard settings

Is 5.0-14214 the first broken version (i.e. in 5.0-14209 everything works fine)?

For what it's worth, the performance seems to be at about 50 fps on a Snapdragon 855 for me.

Thanks for the reply JosJuice, I edited my post to circle the version where the error occurred.

Possibly it is a hardware problem. If your SD 855 works without problems. With Vulkan the only problem is that it wants to switch to widescreen from time to time.

Okay, so 5.0-14222 is the first broken version and not 5.0-14214. Got it. We've been able to confirm the issue now (I was testing on 5.0-14220 earlier, which does not have the issue) and will investigate.

The problem has been fixed in 5.0-14248.
