The game works when the current work directory is the games directory and the
game crashes as reported when started from somewhere else.

Could make this bug as invalid. It's often asked here to cd into the game
directory and start from there.

Hello folks,

indeed invalid.

There are many apps/games that rely on having proper working directory set
(they would also crash on Windows if not).

See http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ, chapter "6.4. How should I start Windows
programs from the command line?" for hints.
