[Help] How to ENABLE Crossplay on PC/Steam

Yes yada yada you can't turn it off - but it is, my matchmaking button says so and i am only being put into bot lobbies, i usually wait 10 minutes to get enough players for a match to even start

i found the steam post about how to turn it off and instead put "Gst.GameplayEnableCrossplay 1" into my profsave_profile and made it read only (not that this works because on startup all of that gets reverted even if i apply it to higher level folders) and im still getting this

i verified steam files before and after doing this to no avail
