Notifications appearing in the middle of the screen

[KodyxDestroyer]

Anyone else having this issue? I'm having a problem where all notifications are appearing in the middle of the screen. Almost like Steam thinks I'm on a 1080p screen and showing the notification at the bottom right of 1080p, but I'm playing on a 4k screen so it ends up in the center.

I just came searching for a very similar issue, all my notifications were appearing almost in the middle of my screen on a 2K screen.

Which personally breaks the immersion when playing rather than it being subtle.

Anyway fixed it by going to (whilst in Big Picture) Settings -> Display -> Auto Scale UI (OFF) then bringing the slider closer to the left (More Content).

It sucks because it makes the UI smaller (not a big issue but I kinda liked the zoomed in interface on controller so I can sit back) but it moved notifications to the bottom right of the screen.

Hope that works for you too.

This happens to me as well. Occasionally, Steam notifications appear offscreen. A simple fix is to open the Steam Overlay at least once after launching a game. This forces the overlay to adjust to the correct screen area.

If the overlay was misaligned, you might even notice it repositioning itself.

However, this isn’t an ideal solution.

I have a 1440p monitor and a 1080p tv hooked up to my PC and also experience this behaviour occasionally when I have played a session on the tv and then on my monitor afterwards. But for some reason it fixes itself "automagically" the next time I start steam on the 1440p monitor.

Maybe the notifications position is saved on closing steam and for some reason not validated / re-evaluated at startup (?).

But if OP has only one monitor, maybe the games also have a "say" in this (assuming @4K some upscalers doing their "magic" from 1080p to 4K, which would explain the position).
