Title: Wrong resolution of in-game Steam overlay
wojtek88 2 Oct 2016
Hi guys, I have a problem with resolution of in-game Steam overlay. My display has a resolution 1600x900 and a I always try to pick 1600x900 in game if possible. However, Steam overlay looks like it is displayed in lower resolution. This makes playing in Big Picture mode problematic, because... it looks like crap :).

Anyone had similar issue? Anyone knows how to fix it?

To visualize the issue - first one is from problematic Steam overlay while being in-game, second is from Big Picture mode. Second one is much sharper, which is easier to see while displaying whole image.

Have you looked at the resolution setting in big picture mode settings?
