Just wanted to let the community know that having never had any trouble running SRHK on previous versions of Ubuntu (64-bit), the game wouldn't start at all with 16.04 LTS. While trying to figure this out, I discovered two changes to the dependencies listed on the GOG game page:
1. libasound2-data:i386 is depreciated with 16.04 and no longer in the repositories. It's functionality may be included in another package. However, this was a false lead, since SRHK seems to work fine without it. Still, if I run into a problem with the game or editor in the future, it might be due to this change in Ubuntu.
2. At least on my machine (older Intel HD Lenovo laptop), the game would no longer start with 16.04. The solution was to install 'libglu1-mesa:i386', which I discovered via the terminal error.
Other than this slight inconvenience, everything seems to be working well so far on a fresh 16.04 w/updates install on a few different rigs, even exiting properly.
Hope this helps some people/saves time & frustration.
