--- Comment #21 from Jeff Zaroyko jeffz@jeffz.name 2011-05-20 03:16:00 CDT --- Many applications when installed have their shortcut properties set to make the working directory where the location of the installed files are, which is why they don't crash on Windows.
When you run an application outside of it's installation directory it may assume the above and then crash due to lack of error handling.
Sounds invalid to me. If you wanted to, you could test the theory on windows by starting the game using cmd, from c:\ for example.
