Hello! Steam updated today and the scaling got messed up. Even after checking the option for automatic scaling, all the texts and icons look super small. Perhaps it has to do with me using 1440p.. do you guys know of any fix/workaround? Thank you!

EDIT: Now it is working well! I should have tried "turning it off and on again"..

You can add the "-forcedesktopscaling" variable to your startup, specifying a numeric value.

For example, for Fedora/KDE Plasma I have the 'Command-Line Arguments' field, for the Steam entries, in the 'KDE Menu Editor' app, to say "%U -forcedesktopscaling 1.25".

The old GDK_SCALE variable is no longer being looked at by the Steam client (as far as I can tell, and in case you were using that variable).
