[Resident Evil Revelations 2] "Biohazard" title screen

This is a vanilla bug, not related to the mod, but it'd be awesome if you could fix it.

Basically, unlike the other RE games, there's only one build for all regions, and the game does an IP address check on boot to decide whether to display "Resident Evil" or "Biohazard" (Japanese title) on the title screen. But this check is very buggy and the game ends up showing "Biohazard" in the majority of regions.

There is a mod that simply overwrites some graphics files, but it'd be nice to have a more "clean" solution as part of the Fusion Fix. Maybe just scrap the check altogether and add an INI option where users could choose between "Resident Evil" and "Biohazard"?

There's seemingly 4 possible options for the game region, 3 of which will show RE, and 1 - BH. But, additional things are affected by those, like save game location. Not sure if it's worth it patching that code.

First off, thanks for looking into this!

The save games are stored in <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\287290\remote\, this is a generic Steam save folder, so it shouldn't be affected by the region.

The game settings are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\capcom\RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS2\config.ini. The game shows BIOHAZARD on my end, but the config path is still RESIDENT EVIL, so that also shouldn't be an issue.

In any case, you can include a region override as an INI option. If there are any potential issues, the user can just turn it off.
