I am not surprised it doesn't work!!!
Is start.exe supposed to be there?

Yes, start.exe is a wine internal process....
I'm really tired as I typed this, so if anything is unclear, let me know and I'll try to clarify.
(I'm still trying to get my Virtual Machine software re-installed, so I can do this in Ubuntu...)
ok, double checking several of my shortcuts, and I tested this with SH3....
I missed a step when I posted the "generic" shortcut previously, sorry!
Find your Far Cry 2 .exe with your file manager, and make a note of the folder path.
This part should be good:

Just a few thoughts here, Which "drive" did you choose to install to in WINE?
IF "C:\", then the path should be something like my edited version here.
If you setup another "drive" in WINEcfg, (useful for keeping all your games in one directory), Then I'll post a "path" for that one too.
If installed to C:\
Quote:

/unix /home/reece/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Ubisoft/Far\ Cry \ 2/bin/farcry2.exe -GameProfile_SkipIntroMovies 1
|
If you installed it to another "drive", then this is a better example:
(assumes default install "path", minus the "program files".)

an example of my sh3 shortcut, starting with the /Unix:

Remember that any "spaces" or special characters (like a "backslash") must be remarked with a "\".
Note the first part of the shortcut in first "quote" above:
"C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe"
Anytime you use a terminal (or make a shortcut) and the directory name has spaces, you must always add the "\".
Program\ Files
Far\ Cry\ 2
This\ is\ a\ really\ long\ example\ directory\ name
Can be annoying but it beats the windows way for more that 8 characters:
cd progra~1
