Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1686880776
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: (attached)
  • GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

With the latest Steam client update on a 43" 4K monitor (107 DPI), all UI elements are enormous, at least 2x normal expected font size. Seems like a scaling bug. Toggling the scaling switch under settings doesn't seem to change anything.

Note that this is a 4K display but not a hi-DPI system since it's very close to the nominal 96 DPI. Attached screenshot of Steam client with another window behind it showing the expected resolution and font sizes.

  2. Observe all UI elements are oversized

Hello @azonenberg, this issue is already being tracked at #9632 / #5362. Until those issues are resolved, you should be able to run Steam with STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING=1 steam or steam -forcedesktopscaling 1
