[PATCH v5 5/7] kernel32: Make GetUserGeoID() pretend we set a GeoID even if we didn't. - wine-devel

7 Nov 2019

In Windows 10, with the changes introduced in v1709, this function
now always returns a good GeoID if the provided geoclass is valid.
If that class didn't have a GeoID set yet, it now returns 39070,
which is the ID for the very neutral "World" region.
This behaviour matches Windows 10 v1709-v1909 and also
prevents at least one game from crashing.
Wine-Bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46196
(partial fix: game no longer crashes.)
