Cortex started launching Steam games with .URL

I used to be able to launch steam games just fine with Cortex but now, after a recent update, when I try to launch a game it just opens a .URL file. For example, this opens in web browser when I try to run Fairy Tail > /AppData/Local/Temp/bhiwx5g4.k1b.url

And that's the page that shows up in the screenshot.

It looks like it "should" be opening with the win + r run command but it opens chrome instead because it's a url file.

Nah I think it may be a similar thing, cause the error message I got is about "internet path" but all it did was bring up an error window, wasn't opening a browser window.
