IMPORTANT UPDATE!
You CANT earn any achievement that are connected to Ranked, due to the fact the ASW servers are down, all the information about Leaderboards, D-Code and PSR points are linked to the official server, the patch only allow you to play online with Steam itself. You can still earn any other online achievements, like teams or matches.
Introduction
Hi! Some time ago, I found that the game have a bug that dont let people enter Network Mode, thats makes impossible to play and makes some achievements of the game unobtainable. Afer waiting some months, I found someone who could understand about coding and they not only found what was the error, but even make a Patcher to make the process of fixing it easily! Im very grateful for their help! Now Im going to teach you how to apply the Patch in a few easy steps:
Preparation
First you need the following tools:

-Steamless, so the Patcher can edit the game's code, here's a link: https://github.com/atom0s/Steamless/releases
-BBCSE Patcher (Courtesy of Geo, without him, there would not be fix): https://drive.google.com/file/d/13B-SztqKUpAKbIJk1_g8tDA17ne3Wc6G/view
Steps
Step 1
Unpack the Steam DRM that has packed the executable so the Patcher can edit the game's code directly. Use Steamless to do so, download the latest, extract and open Steamless.exe and then select the BBCSE.exe archive or drag an drop it onto the textbox and click "Unpack File"

Step 2
Once you've unpacked the executable, backup the original and rename the unpacked one to the regular executable name "BBCSE.exe". Now you can use it with the Patcher. use the batch script, drag an drop the executable on the .bat archive to apply the specific patch for you. Once patched, it'll create a backup with the .bak extension, drag back the .exe to the game files and you should be good to go.

Here's a very crappy video with the process, just in case you need a visual guide to make the steps: https://youtu.be/Hi_N1Y40lGE

Thank you so much to Geo for finding the problem and for go for the trouble of making a Patcher to solve the problem, If you need help with something, just leave a message in this guide and Im gladly willing to help.

I hereby acknowledge that both of steamless and patcher are still workable. Just follow this guide and you can access network mode with no issues. I successfully resolve the issue on 7th August 2025. Also, please feel free to add my steam a/c and discord if you are going to grind online related achievements :)
