Please try the latest build (soon to be v0.2.0), this addressed issues reading non-retail versions of the game.

You can download an artifact for the most recent one (at time of writing) here:

• (or any one else seeing this in future, build-windows-x64 from the latest workflow build list)

v0.2.0 has been released, which improves support for non-retail versions of the game, and fixes this error.
