Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1686779606
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch, KDE Plasma desktop environment
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The GUI scaling on Steam no longer respects my global desktop scaling. I use a 4k screen with my global scale set to 200% in Plasma's Display Configuration. Steam used to scale along with the rest of my applications, but after the latest update it no longer does.

I've done these troubleshooting steps:

  • Ensure every package on my system is updated
  • Uninstall Steam, delete all of it's, and reinstall it
  • Disable scaling and reenable it

Below is a screenshot of Steam, with a calculator on top. The calculator looks correct to me, but Steam is way too small.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set your global scale to 200%
  2. Launch Steam

Do you mean that if I set the global scaling to 200% (and set it back to 100% later), Steam will finally not scale up and display normally?
