Country>Do not display is now gone?

[basiccTV]

When i edit my profile i try to find (country)"do not display" but is that option now gone or am i just blind?

[Blargo]

Yeah, it does seem to be gone.
Same with the state/province and city options.

What's up with that?

Just sended ticket to support, now lets wait what they say.

[basiccTV]

So i just got generic answer from support to tell me how to change country in profile, sended reply to ask if Valve removed "do not show" option from profile country, lets see what they answer. Plot thickens.

It is not high on their priority list to respond to you about the issue. They will get to you when they can. https://store.steampowered.com/stats/support

My personal opinion on this matter is it will get fixed soon. Its not something that they would leave out intentionally. Chances are they just forgot to add it in during their development of the new update which can happen to anyone and program.

The Code

	$J.post( 'https://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/SetFavoriteBadge/v1?', {

	});
}

Thanks to Ogami and Steam Support for the first solution, and MalikQayum for the second.

Yeah can confirm i just removed country from my profile using big picture mode. Thanks so much for posting that.

Also i just got message from support and they said that Valve removed "do not show" option in latest patch so that sucks i guess, if you want get rid of your country in your profile use that big picture mode method.

Surely this is not an intentional change, because it makes absolutely no sense to remove the option to not display your country/city/state.

I was under the impression that this was a bug introduced whey they updated user profiles.

Here is answer i got.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I understand that you don't want to show your country or a featured badge on your account.

The ability to not show these was removed in the most recent profile update.

With that said, Steam values feedback from the Steam community, so I highly suggest that you share any opinions, suggestions, or ideas on the Suggestions/Ideas section of the Steam Discussion forums.

This forum is regularly read by Valve's development team.

Take care,
Mitchell

To remove country flag and location, editing my profile in big picture mode worked for me.

[MalikQayum]

here is another fix for the country code / flag:

setting your country code / country flag back to none.
go to: https://steamcommunity.com/my/edit/
open console (chrome f12)
paste the below request.

$J.post( "https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/"+g_rgProfileData.steamid+"/edit/", {
	sessionID: g_sessionID,
	type: "profileSave",
	weblink_1_title: "", 
	weblink_1_url: "",
	weblink_2_title: "",
	weblink_2_url: "",
	weblink_3_title: "",
	weblink_3_url: "",
	personaName: g_rgProfileData.personaname,
	real_name: $J("input[name=real_name]").val(),
	customURL: g_rgProfileData.url.split('/')[4],
	country: "",
	state: "",
	city: "",
	summary: $J("textarea[name=summary]").val(),
	json: 1
});
