Cast n Chill (v1.2.3) - Steam connection error & Redirects to Microsoft Store

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble launching "Cast n Chill" (v1.2.3).

The Issue: When I try to launch the game, it gives a "New app needed to open this steam link" error and redirects me to the Microsoft Store.

Source: Downloaded from Oyunindir.vip.

What I've tried: 1. Checked the castnchill_Data/Plugins/x86_64 folder.

2. I have steam_api64.dll there, but it seems to be the original one (modified date is 2025).

3. I don't see a separate "Crack" folder in the .rar file, only the game files.

4. Antivirus is disabled.

Does this repack require a separate crack, or am I missing something in the plugins folder? Any help would be appreciated!(btw this website is safe to use, i have downloaded like 10-15 games without any virus threat)
