Error with Compiled Mods

[STALKER_]

Anytime I compile a mod and try to run it, this error appears in the client-main log:

An exception was thrown when trying to load assembly:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I looked in the directory listed in the dependency and found the System.Runtime file, so I don't know what the problem is. If anyone can tell me how to fix this, it would be much appreciated.

Are you on a net 7 version of Vintage Story?

I ask this every day. Every single day.

[STALKER_]

I'm on 1.18.7.

[l33tmaan]

You will need a net 7 version of 1.18.6 or 1.18.8-rc.

[STALKER_]

How do modders make code mods run on 1.18.7 then? Do they target a different net version when they compile?

[Bossman]

They target .NET 4, though the point might be moot now that 1.18.8 is stable, and all future versions will be .NET 7 only.

[STALKER_]

I didn't notice that 1.18.8 was stable, just updated my game to it. The compiled mods now work. Thanks a lot for the help guys!
