I'm using Linux Mint 22.1 with the Cinnamon desktop and an Nvidia RTX3080 graphics card, with the latest Nvidia drivers installed. My monitor is set to 4K resolution with 200% scaling, which looks like 1080p. Most applications seem to scale properly, but some, like the Battle.net launcher for World of Warcraft and the Guild Wars 2 launcher, run in 4K without scaling, making them too small to read. While WoW works fine once in-game, GW2 still has scaling issues. I can switch to 1080p with 100% scaling, but I prefer to play games at 4K. Is there a way to enforce scaling for these applications? Thanks!

You could try running your desktop at 1080p and writing a bash script. This script would change the resolution to 4K, launch your game or Steam, and then change the resolution back to 1080p after you're done. It could save you a lot of hassle!
Scaling can be a real mess on X11, and unfortunately, Linux Mint is going to be using X11 for a while. If you want better scaling support, it might be time to consider switching to a different distro that supports Wayland, especially one that uses KDE Plasma.
