[Solved] Games: How to get native resolution on scaled Hyprland screen

I have two screens in Hyprland:
- 4k @ 144Hz as my main (with 1.50 fractional scaling applied)
- 1440p @144hz as my secondary screen

My monitors.conf for hyprland looks like this:

monitor=DP-1,3840x2160@144.0,0x0,1.5000000000000004
monitor=DP-2,2560x1440@143.856003,2560x0,1.0

hyprlctl monitors shows this output:

Monitor DP-1 (ID 0):
	3840x2160@144.00000 at 0x0
	description: Acer Technologies XV275K P3 2324000334HA1 (DP-1)
	make: Acer Technologies
	model: XV275K P3

	special workspace: 0 ()
	reserved: 0 22 0 37
	scale: 1.50
	transform: 0
	focused: yes
	dpmsStatus: 1
	vrr: 1
	activelyTearing: false

Monitor DP-2 (ID 1):
	2560x1440@143.85600 at 2560x0
	description: Ancor Communications Inc ASUS MG279 0x0001CF7A (DP-2)
	make: Ancor Communications Inc
	model: ASUS MG279
	serial: 0x0001CF7A
	active workspace: 2 (2)
	special workspace: 0 ()

	scale: 1.00

	focused: no
	dpmsStatus: 1
	vrr: 0
	activelyTearing: false

However, in games I can only select 1440p as max resolution on my 4k screen. I am assuming this originates from the 1.5 fractional scaling, as xrandr reports this:

Screen 0: minimum 16 x 16, current 5120 x 1440, maximum 32767 x 32767

   640x350      143.57  

Is there any way I can get the full 4k resolution in steam / proton games?
