Feature Request

I confirm:

[X] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
[X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
contain this feature already.

Description

Geolocation is incorrect (showing USA not Canada). I changed to the proper timezone in the desktop mode on steamdeck, but it did not affect Beat Hazard from showing USA as country of origin. I search the game discussion board on steam on Steam and the developer commented that the credential goes off of Windows default Geolocation. So I suspect that Proton has some default setting in the virtual build of windows.

Justification

Correct country of origin for leader boards.
