CensusPlus says that I'm playing on US realm

CensusPlus says that I'm playing on US realm. That's not a big problem, but I can't upload my data because of this fact. I'm playing on Bloodscalp and Stormscale, both EU.

That is very strange... it pulls the locale from the game files. Do you have a US installation that you setup to run against EU servers? Anything that you can point to why this would happen?

Firstly I was playing the game on a private server, but after I bought the European version I installed it over the current installation. Maybe this cause the problem. Is there any registry that I can change to count it as EU version? I have a database of 4500 horde & 1100 alliance characters on Stormscale EU

AFIK, WoW doesn't keep much of anything in the registry; it's game settings are saved in various configuration files.

In the "WTF" directory in your WoW directory, open the file "Config.wtf" with a text editor. Look for the line "SET locale". For me, it's "enUS"; what is it for you? For the lines "SET realmlist" & "SET patchlist", I assume they must start with "eu." instead of "us.", since you can actually play on the European servers, but verify that anyway.

If your locale is "enUS", that would be the problem. If you know what it is supposed to be (Rollie or someone?), you can try changing it, then firing up the game to see if that fixed it. You can also move or delete the "Config.wtf" file, and WoW will create a new one when it starts. Note that this will reset your resolution and other basic settings.

If the locale is already correct for you, then the simplest solution would probably be to save off your addons & their settings (but only the addon settings), then wiping out the WoW directories & reinstalling a fresh copy, then moving your addons back in. Yes, this is drastic, but should be guaranteed to get all of the settings straightened out. Of course, if someone else knows of another configuration file that can be tweaked / recreated, then you can try that as well.

Hopefully, it's just your "Config.wtf" file that is "confused", though.

Locale for me (European English realms) is "enGB" if that helps

I knew from the screen post that they are on an English-speaking server, but wasn't sure if it made a difference what country they played in (if it isn't in the UK).

So yea, if your current locale is "enUS", try changing it to "enGB", even if that isn't where you reside, as it would at least get you to the right part of the world.

Yeah it doesn't matter where you live, as I understand it, it's more to define the language your client is using (think German is deDE etc), and the GB bit is just to distinguish it from enUS

I just found what was causing the problem. My realmlist file was missing and in my "config file" in the wtf folder was written "set portal enGB". I accidentally saw it and removed these lines in the file and made a new realmlist file. That solved my problem. After restarting the game Census was showing again that I'm with EU version of the game. Thats the happy end and now I'm gonna upload my CensusPlus data.
