How do I scale down so I can read text?

I have an issue where certain games are just scaled so much that I can't read text. I am on the framework laptop 16.

try

gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -- %command%

gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -- %command%

in launch options see if that fixes it

wait, why does the framework option on the website lead me to the generic image?

Is there anything different with the framework image than the standard one?

you can try setting your display settings to 1080p if you want

I don't think this is necessarily a bazzite issue just a proton/windows game issue
