Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Open any product page (game/DLC/bundle)
2. Look at price of any item

Specifications

• Augmented Steam Version: 4.1.2

I'm afraid that option only changes the currency used when displaying price history from ITAD, and doesn't affect your store currency. You can view the store in any supported currency while logged out by adding ?cc= to the end of the url followed with a 2-letter country code, e.g. https://store.steampowered.com/app/70/?cc=us.

If this is not what you meant, please explain more about your issue 😀

That option is interesting but not what I meant as you correctly surmised :) The issue I'm facing is something that only recently started happening with Augmented Steam enabled while logged into Steam in a browser. The currency should be based on what is set by Steam for my profile (e.g. ROW is USD) but Augmented Steam seems to be forcefully setting it to the geolocation-based currency (e.g. GBP), ignoring the store setting. The setting I described in the issue was an attempt at forcing it back to my preferred currency.

You're talking about ITAD pricing right? What is your store country?

I'm talking about the price showing up on the Steam store page with Augemented Steam installed. In the Steam client it shows up correctly but in browser it's showing up as ZAR for example. Steam country set to Mauritius. I just tested it again and that behaviour seems to have stopped, very strange.

Yeah, as I said, we can't affect which currency Steam decides to use for your store prices, we just read what is displayed on https://store.steampowered.com/account/ for use in ITAD price history. Unless you can show there's a difference with Augmented Steam as your only installed extension toggled on/off, this doesn't seem like an issue with us.

Yeah I understand that. The issue really did seem to be Augmented Steam-related as I could consistently reproduce it when I logged the bug. If it happens again I'll retest, screenshot it and share to illustrate.
