Windows [HELP] (PC) "This character belongs to another player."

I was initially playing Stardew on the Xbox app for Windows (it was available for free for a while) and decided to buy it on the Steam version so I can keep playing. However, when I try to join my friend's farm it shows me this message and I can't join as my character. Does anyone know a solution?

Expanding on the above post;;

Whilst you can link your Xbox account with Steam, neither the saves nor achievements will actually transfer over from one to the other. You can still view the games/saves (however, this actually does not occur with all games, where there are some games/saves that won’t even show up), but Steam will essentially not register them belonging to your Steam account. If this makes sense? As a result, I do not believe there is a solution, nor have I been able to find one (maybe there is one, but I have not been successful in finding any potential solutions).



Important side note;; I have personally never linked my Xbox and Steam account, and the above mentioned is being based on the research I’ve done involving this.
