Default Running Windows apps in Linux

I tried installing my first windows game (Far Cry 2) in Ubuntu 16.04 using Crossover.
It was a total pain to get it to go, in windows it is easy to edit the shortcut to add parameters so it would be "C:\Games\Far Cry 2\bin\FarCry2.exe" -GameProfile_SkipIntroMovies 1.
There are others also that can be added.
How do I add the parameters in Linux, the icon points to a lnk file that contains this:
Quote:
#!/bin/sh
exec "/opt/cxoffice/bin/wine" --bottle "Far_Cry_2" --check --wait-children --start "C:/users/Public/Desktop/Far Cry® 2.lnk" "$@"
Also when I run the game it is full screen and the screen size is different and when I exit the desktop changes to this screen size.
Anyone got any idea's? Maybe I can run it windowed but not sure how to do this.
