How to NOT get auto pro perks in Bot Warefare

[botton1]

Hi,
I've been playing bot warfare and every time I get in a game the perks automatically gets upgraded to Pro, even though my classes still shows it as being regular. Interestingly, even with the perks being PRO, the game still thinks the perks are normal, and can level to pro when the challenge is met. Is there a way to revert this to normal so I can grind out the perks and unlock the pro version normally? Thanks!

Found this possible solution in the github issue

Edit: Figured it out. PRIVATE MATCH is what's forcing pro perks.
Setting xblive_privatematch to 0 will fix the problem, even if the server is already running.

Edit 2: This isn't working properly, the game now thinks there's no teams unless players join with privatematch set to 1

Edit 3: Bandaid solution. Join game, pick class, spawn bots, set privatematch to 0, pick a different class. Problem solved.

This seemed to work, but is there a better/ more permanent solution to this? Maybe a way to modify the GSC?

botton1 you gota make your own lan server and all those problems will be fixed. Took me forever to figure that out.
