In my case it has been incorrect ever since it changed from the "arrow up" flag. And neither logout, restart or forum logins helps.

I'm using Linux, but i figured since there is no settings for country, that it gets auto-detected by toribash.com or server(s). I'll try deleteing it and see what happens.
Flag system is based on your IP. So maybe toribash detect this ip wrong or sth.

Some IPs don't point to any country at all. Some are completely wrong, e.g. some PL people had Norwegian flags before. This is especially apparent if you have dynamic IP, you can witness a whole range of different flags if you're (un)lucky.

There isn't much you can do, essentially you'd have to either change your internet provider or contact them to have it resolved somehow. Even if TB admin set your country code manually, it'd just reset back during the ~weekly IP check.


It's toribash, or rather toribash hosting/service provider(?), who is being given incorrect or outdated geo-ip data delivered to them. (imo it has to be).

An admin tried to correct mine, manually, from "DE" to "NO", but i didnt even notice any effect from the attempt to fix it. Meanwhile, any ip tracking/who-is services i've used in the past and recently, recognize my ip correctly as being Norwegian ranged.

* The admin who tried to help me on IRC, verified for him/herself, that my IP, there, was Norwegian; before changing.
* My flag was detected days before i even logged onto, or openened this website; i installed Toribash by Steam
* When the Admin changed mine to "NO", i didn't even refresh the website, but tested for effect in the game first. But didn't work, it just went back to "DE" or didn't change at all.

Oh well. Not a crisis.
