Cannot Access vk.com URLs with a renamed ID (EG: Hyphen in their link).

[barniccle44]

I have been trying to access the albums from: https://vk.com/cosplayinrussia
However, I get a "[gallery-dl][error] No suitable extractor found for..." (etc.)

Upon looking into it I realized that the album link contains a hyphen, "-".
As Such: https://vk.com/albums-165740836

Removing the hyphen yields a completely different profile's album.
Similarly, the issue is the same if you replace "albums" with "photos".
Clicking on a specific album yields the same issue: https://vk.com/album-165740836_281454904

Prefacing the url with a "VK:" or "vk" doesn't change anything.
Furthermore, prefacing it with "R:" saves the images correctly but just the thumbnails, so they are 200x200.

Do you have any suggestions to this issue as it works perfectly fine for accounts that do not have a hyphen in their url?
To Reiterate I believe this is because the account has chosen a custom ID.

Any help is appreciated.

It previously only accepted links with a numeric ID, like https://vk.com/albums165740836, but it now also accepts IDs with hyphens and full names (´https://vk.com/albums-165740836`, https://vk.com/cosplayinrussia)

Do you know if a renamed ID can contain other special characters than a hyphen?

To my knowledge there aren't any other factors, however after re-downloading the latest version the links still do not work. One thing I did notice is that albums have an underscore "_". For instance the third link listed. However, I still couldn't get any of the 3 links to work when running the new code. Any help is appreciated as always and thank you for your response.
