Launcher&Steam. A bit unusual.

Unlike most of steam integration complaints, my account and login ran just fine with steam.
That is, while it auto-initiated the "sign in through steam" script in launcher.
Now, for some reason, it stopped doing that.
It would be fine - mean, just push the "sign in through steam" button, rite?
Nope. Launcher has country...modulations. I'm in Japan at the moment and launcher, seeing my ip as japanese, doesn't let me see the steam button. Instead it offers some local distributor's sign in.
Same thing with site, but luckily i can ask people in my home country to get me a direct link to login through steam and voi-la(proxy could work too, but no free ones allow encrypted connection protocols like on login.eveonline.com)

So now i'm left with no way to play. Maybe someone can help me, someone knowing launcher structure can post a script or something to make it initiate the "log in via steam" thing. Otherwise, i basically can't play since we steam users don't get login and passwords anymore, launcher's supposed to handle them and supports don't give them out.
