Running Vintage Story on Windows can be a seamless experience, since the .NET Framework (That the game runs on top of) is integrated with the OS and can be easily installed. However, the .NET Framework was designed to target Windows platforms only, which means that running Vintage Story on other Operating Systems involves some additional steps.
