Any game’s resolution is limited to 1080p *SOLVED*

I’ve recently swapped my desktop environment from Cinnamon to GNOME, since I wanted a better Wayland experience. I have a 4K display and I like to do 200% scaling. This was fine under Cinnamon+X11 but if I try to play any game, I’m always limited to 1080p. If I disable 200% scaling, I get access to 4K.

Any advice on this?

Seems to have worked along with a reboot - thanks.
