Location of notifications "toast" changed after recent Nov 2023 Steam client patch?

[jaikens19]

Hey All,

Weird questions but both myself and my partner noticed that the location of the notification "toast" has changed from the default bottom right (default to what I'm used to), to the bottom left.

I tried deleting the file

 gameoverlay.styles 

and restarted steam to see if that would fix it. It didn't.

I even made sure the file was using the correct Panel Position:

 Notifications.PanelPosition: "BottomRight" 

Still seeing the issue in all games. Is anyone else seeing this? Is this a bug or is it just a problem for my partner and I?



If others aren't having this issue.... Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

In all games and not just CS2 that has an in game option to choose a different corner?

Not that I'm aware of, wasn't it always default to the bottom right side and unable to be changed? I have no way of changing it back now, I never changed it to begin with. Not sure how this happened.

Change it in CS2's settings and check again.

You taught me something new today, I had no idea that the notifications were controlled per game, I thought this was just a global setting that was unable to be changed. Was able to change in CS2 just fine after your suggestion.

You were right again, noticed that some games I play still use the default right position, like Hogwarts legacy. While other games like BG3 use the left side. Mind blown...

Thank you so much for the help!

Where exactly is it in the CS settings? In game settings or the steam overlay settings (shift-tab)?
Thanks!

in cs2 go to the cog top left, click on the game tab, click on hud, and it's the 4th one
