Symptoms
The overlay does not respect host DPI setting - which means if the desktop DPI is set to something larger than 96, the overlay will look small.
Reproduction

Research direction
Reproduce the overlay issue using the stated Steam Play setup with a host DPI above 96, then trace the in-game overlay implementation; the report names no file, test, or entry point. Done means the overlay respects the host DPI setting and no longer appears undersized at higher desktop scaling.
