Resolutions broken on Linux

Hi, I am running archlinux on KDE plasma, essentially a fresh install only having gotten Nvidia drivers. I am running 2 monitors, one (the one I am playing on) is 5120x1440, the other monitor is 3840 x 2160. When both monitors are plugged in, the default resolution for the monitor the game is being run on becomes 4k (8704 x 2448), and if changed to 1440p, only takes up a small portion of the screen, even though that monitor is 1440p.

Of note, when the game is running at 4k on the 1440p screen, I get performance as though it is actually running at 4k, and it properly fills the 1440p monitor. Any lower resolution makes it no longer fill the monitor.

Unplugging the second 4k monitor, and only leaving the main 1440p monitor allows for the game to properly pick up the resolution, and work.

Seems to only be deadlock having this issue so far as I have played other games without problem.
 
Messing around some more: it seems that having any sort of application scaling on the 4k monitor is what causing this. When setting it to 100% instead of the 170% that it previously was, deadlock now recognizes the resolution correctly
