Can't change my country (region) settings
Pretty self explanatory, I've moved to a different country recently and I want to change my region to it (for adding a new payment method/address etc.). But as I enter my new location details steam pop an error "We can't change your country settings right now. Please try again later". It's been going on like this for days and it's getting annoying... Any fix?

Using the vpn
NEVER EVER use a VPN - terrible idea.

But concerning your assertion that he's breaking the rules to corumvent region restrictions - demonstrate that.

Doesn't answer the question.

You accused this user of this particular fraud. You're going to need to prove that or it's very poor form to do such things.

okay, then we had to think psychology, why would he want to change the region?, and what other chance he go from a country to another? if he really got to that country just for vacation then why would he make this thread?

Nope, philosophy, not psychology.

And that's an argument from ignorance fallacy - "I don't know what other reason they could have so it must be x".

This is why you need evidence to prove your claim, because it could be a reason you haven't thought of.

in my case, i want to play Phantasy Star Online 2 through Steam, i know any other method like using 3rd party software to avoid using Microsoft Store BS, but i'm sure anyone will prefer play from Steam if it's available (except The Elder Scrolls Online and some problematic EA Games), the sad thing is the games isn't available for my country (i can play PSO2 JP without any need of proxy or VPN anymore tho), why i want to play the US version is i have my own reason for that, so this geo-restrictions is BS, even MS Store let you change region freely

i don't use it for buying games with cheaper price, i just want to "buy" free to play games which absurdly geo-restricted, if Steam want to prevent VPN Jumper, just strict the payment methods with Credit Cards, or remove currency conversion for Steam Wallet (can only be used in original country u bought from), and PayPal can only be used if it's connected to bank account, this will prevent those jumper but won't affect people like me who just want to add free to play games to my lib

with current system, i need to buy some games with US cards/Bank Account just to have the free to play games restricted for me

New rules since today, the manual region swapping in your account settings is gone.
This is now the ONLY way:

Your country is part of your Steam account settings. Your country setting affects what you see on the Steam store, the currency you see prices in, and the currency of your wallet.

If you have moved to a new country, or are living abroad for an extended period of time, you can update your Steam country setting when you complete your first purchase using a payment method from that country. If your location differs from your current Steam account store country setting you'll have an option to change your store region while you view your cart or as you complete your purchase.

If you are unable to complete a purchase using a payment method from the region you have moved to please contact Steam Support.

Well actually, it definitely is a possible issue. I am sat here having issues switching steam store, by their described methods, and steam support is being little to no help at all. So he comes here for some assistance which would be more helpful, unlike your ignorant replies. You must not have read the original post, obviously not with your bold assumptions.

No not at all.

I return to my points.

They ACCUSED this user of fraud. They need to demonstrate that.

It's basic logic 101. Claims ALWAYS stand on their own merits, and the person asserting a claim ALWAYS has the burden of proof.


The thing you seem to be misssing isn't it isn't rude just because you don't like the answer. The fact remains these are DISCUSSION pages. They're for EVERY member of the community, both the people directly posting here, the lurkers and future readers with problems.

So myths cannot be allowed to propogate and if someone's going to make weird assertions, they're going to need to demonstrate evidence. If it's true and they can, then it's all good.

Cappice?

I have the exact same issue, it's like they let the dumbest person respond back to you.

i can also enter my card details and so on, but when you get to the page to change region on check out, it says "sorry cant change your country settings right now"

surely these bigger companies can see that this is clearly an issue ...

PS ( I dont use VPN)

Then contact support and they tell you to do the same thing that you've already done and after that no more communication from them. pathetic customer support
