--- Comment #17 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
confirming. Correcting summary as it has nothing to do with virtual desktop. You can also run the game in windowed mode by passing 'window' to the command line.

The app has a broken command line parser. It always expects quoted full executable path. Long paths with spaces require quotation marks (default game install path).
Sine the bug is pretty old, the quotation part was already fixed with bug 47790 ("putty.exe displays an error at startup when placed in a path with accented characters.")
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/ceb32f668360ef51b932fa6350... ("kernel32: Quote first command line arg in process paramenters.")
It tries to parse out the path before the executable name.

Since there are multiple methods leading to a crash, only the explorer part should be fixed.

The 'cmd' way is IMHO a WONTFIX. The game should crash on Windows as well if you open a command prompt in the game install directory and just type 'alone4.exe' or run 'cmd /c alone4.exe'.
