Bot is unable to check escrow and thus can't handle trade offers - malformed response

I was able to set the bot up on my phone this way:

1. Go to /data/media/0/ (Important: not /sdcard/ or /storage/emulated/0/ - the bot's setup requires creating symbolic links which are only supported on ext4 and most phones have their emulated storage formatted using exfat, so use /data/media/0/ because it magically supports symlinks on all phones).
2. Follow the instructions from the wiki.
3. Scan for npm module updates with npm outdated
4. Update the npm modules using npm i [module_name] (This also is important - tried starting the bot without updating modules and it just gave me the same errors as before).
5. Set up the configuration file using the help of the wiki.
6. Start the bot.
7. Profit! 👍

Most of the dependencies for tf2-automatic are outdated, and one of them is steamcommunity.

Update steamcommunity by running npm i steamcommunity --save and restart your bot.

If you want to update any other dependencies, run npm outdated and it will list out all other outdated dependencies. You can update each of them with the same command mentioned above, or multiple with npm i <dep1> [dep2] ... [depN] --save. Please avoid updating @types/death and jsonschema dependencies as the newer version do not compatible with the current tf2-automatic source codes.

Updated all dependencies except for @types/death and @jsonschema with npm i [dependency] --save.
This didn't affect my bot at all, it still gives the same error.

Sorry for my improper testing, I forgot to test on my computer.
Interestingly, the bot works on my PC, so it's not a problem with a bot.
I suppose I'll look into it for a few more days.

I tried to install tf2-automatic on my phone and compile it there too.
During npm install I've found out that my phone can't create symlinks. This is probably related to my storage being formatted in fat and not ext4. I'll try to get an SD card on which I would install the bot.
