Browse to the following location:

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE

Rename the "Valve" folder to "Valve_old". 

Launch Steam and re-test the issue.
I was dubious, but it worked. I now have fully uncensored L4D2.
Anyone in AU willing to give this a shot? I'm not sure if they changed my 'license' to UK, or if that method just flat out fixes it.

 

and i was wondering would this actually work

Is the censored version of games only in Australia ?

I highly doubt this will work if the PC is still in Australia. Just get someone from the US or Canada to gift it to you, that's the traditional way to avoid censorship issues.

L4D2 removed the Riot Cops, the bodies of zombies vanish as soon as they're killed, won't catch fire, no gibbs etc.

SR4 I heard that they refused it classification because of a giant alien anal dildo gun that launches people into the air after you.... er.... "Load" them....

now that is true. I could trade but if an admin seas (trading is against forum rules :( )

 

I didn't think it was.... Oh well. You have taken a measure to prevent the country block issues so you should be good.

Many of us have our Steam accounts listed in our signatures or in other threads. Just PM someone from the U.S. and they might be willing to help you.
 

I would personally wait and see what happens until SR4 comes out. The ruling could be overturned or they only take out little bits of the game or censor stuff.

 

*Edit, you could also go here and see exchange rates for other countries: http://www.steamprices.com/us/

 

Just go to the top right of the web page and change the regions. 

 

Also you could post in the Steam's trading section and make a deal with someone: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1189

 

For posting the in the trading section you need a Steam forum's account AND you need to link your forums account with your Steam account.
