Does 3.18 not working on WIN7 anymore?

[acknowledge14]

test with newest workshop ace 3.18 and github 3.18rc1 in win7, all report errors in rpts when play a mission:

downloaded github ace 3.17.1, all work fine.

If so, I may have to update to win10 on my potato PC now.

Looks like the new rust extension does not support windows 7
It might be possible to build if we set a custom target?

Windows 7 support stopped in 2020, and Steam has not supported Windows 7 since January 1, 2024. I don't think ACE needs to support Windows 7.
