Symptoms

I can update the user.reg and userdef.reg in the games pfx directory to UK international settings:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
"iCalendarType"="1"
"iCountry"="44"
"iCurrDigits"="2"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo]
"Name"="GB"
"Nation"="242"

But When I launch the game somewhere between booting and getting to the main menu the user.reg is changed to US:

[Control Panel\\International\\Geo] 1679218214
#time=1d95a4568c951e8
"Name"="US"
"Nation"="244"

Now any online matches will report I am in the US and any local European players may reject to play me.

I have also tried updating the registery with protontricks but it is always changed back to US when playing the game.

This is not a new issue it has always been like this.

Reproduction

Launch the game and start a Online match and create a session then you will have a red US map with your player stats but for me it should be a blue European map. This map represents your location to other players I believe this will also effect match making with local players in general as it thinks I am in the US.

[Proton-GE Workaround]

I've recently had the same issue. As a work around, I got the correct region to show by using Proton-GE 7.43 (this version specifically; does not work with newest build) and setting the following launch parameters:

LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_AU.UTF-8 %command%

I now show in the AU/NZ region again.

I understand it is a different project, but if it worked by downgrading the Proton-GE version, then the launch options may work if you downgrade to an earlier Proton version (haven't tested). Also if anyone else is frantically trying to search for a solution, then hopefully they find this too.

At least now I can feel confident online that players aren't rejecting the match because they see the US region come up.
