Problem running on Linux (missing UIAutomationWinforms.dll)

[stefan]

hello!

i would like to run this game on Linux:

* OS: KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu)
* Propriatery Nvidia driver is installed
* I installed the packages "mono-complete" and "mono-runtime"

I ran the game successfully on a few different distros over the years and cannot remember having this problem.

When I try to run the game (using "mono ./Vintagestory.exe") I get the following warning:

15:29:21 [Client Warning] Client side assembly resolver did not find the assembly in the binary path, the lib path or the mods path. Tested for the following paths:

I was not able to locate this missing .dll file online. The rest of the output is quite long, but I will post it if it helps.

Mono 4.x is not supported, install Mono 5.x and it should work
