Here was the actual guide:

I'm only supposed to launch the flash launcher to patch the game. You're actually supposed to move into the release directory, and then launch the game using this command:
wine ge.exe -SERVICE
I tried it, and it crashes just the same. I'll add an attachment with the WINE terminal output for this.
