Yeah I can't even get the NZ server to show up anymore through them.
I just used up my steam wallet preordering Deus Ex, which I was planning to do anyway, so maybe that'll fix it.
It works for me.
I have PIA.
It was the store region that did it. With the VPN active, it gave NZ as an option.
Once I clicked it, it said that it would change the store, currency and possible availability of games. I confirmed that I had a valid payment option from NZ and the unlock time changed.
EDIT: Not sure if this is valid or not, but when googling the problem earlier, it said to run CCleaner before the process to make sure because if you had steam opened before trying to change it, it stores some connect information.

It does the same with me, but does that matter though? If you can change it while in steam, just log in and do this in 22 hours or so, unlock the game, switch to offline mode, then play for a day until it is supposed to unlock?
I think it is due to payment options that you have stored. Since I only have a Norwegian VISA, it defaults to the Norwegian store when I connect back, because that is the only region I can pay from. Might not default back if I also had a valid NZ payment option.

Yeah hopefully and I think that may be what it is. Its a change from how it worked the last time I did this, which was long enough ago I can't remember what VPN service I used (though it wasn a Australian IP then) and what game I used it for (I think it was Dead Rising 2 tbh so its been awhile).
I think as long as you can connect to the NZ store and it shows the changed date and time, it should unlock the game then just put it in offline mode and don't log it back in till after the game released in the US. If not, oh well, it's only 18 more hours till it unlocks here at that point, so whatever.
The VPN I'm using has a 3 day free trial so its not like I'm out any money over this anyway.

I've tried using that same exact desk for gaming, and it's the worst. 1/10 would not use again

That didn't change it.
I dunno if this is going to work properly or not. Its weird.
Think I found the reddit thread referenced earlier
Best way to VPN and play Fallout 4 early on PC? : fo4
And the person says it will work to change unlock time. Here's hoping they're correct.
Done fiddling with this today got shit to do.
Oh man, did anyone else make it out to the Fallout 4 Release Party? Seems like it was justTHE BEST

32 levels to make back IN investment was based on the incorrect rumor of IN being +10% XP per point. It's actually only +3% per point, so you will probably never make it up. Only take IN to whatever you actually need for perks.
Edit: Answer to Tuco question earlier (minor magazine spoiler)
Guide confirms only 1 copy of You're SPECIAL!

That's a bummer but also good to know.
Glad I planned that shit out so I only need 1-2 points per SPECIAL score to get everything I need. Probably dump 3 levels of perks points into those stats early so they're out of the way.

for anyone having problems this is the solution - it's important to change your shit in the downloads section AND account details section. 20 hours to go baby!
