After you remove the version file, install melonloader and it should work correctly

uh...no idea? You could try. Mine didn't have it, but I installed it around a month ago. Maybe they added it now and I didn't notice cuz I already had it, Idk.

do i need to install the melonloader? I could be wrong but it seems that the steam version has the melonloader pre-installed already

This pretty much adds a new layer to the gameplay. It might be the best mod I've seen (and understood, too many chinese ones xD)! Thanks a lot and great, really really great job!
