I see our current support for this game does not depend on libasound2* packages, are you sure these are required?

when I purge libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 , windward does not start anymore

PS:

Because of the purge of libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 , the autoremoval killed some more libraries.

When I installed it again, libXcursor.so.1 was not longer found, this is part of libxcursor1:i386

After I installed this package too, the games runs again.

I added this to my previos post.

Thanks, I’m going to add these as dependencies for this game.
I forwarded your feedback to our forge: Windward - Missing dependency. This one is already a dependency of Windward installed through ./play.it.

I do not use ./play.it, because I want to run this game natively without specialized scripts, which possibly do not work with customized environments or installer sources (md5-sum, version lock - that is not wrong, because of possible different treatment).

I want to install the game and the packages from my distribution to run it.

Nothing wrong with that, our software is not the ideal solution for everyone ;)

About the ALSA plugins dependency, we might have an alternative that would avoid the requirement on libasound2*:i386 packages. I’ll share it here if it passes our tests.
