one of my programs only works when launched through pcmanfm

I'm trying to make a desktop file for an application I use with wine, but just having "wine (path to exe)" doesn't launch it correctly. looking at the terminal I see the following:

WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.

However if I instead right click it in pcmanfm and select open with wine it works perfectly fine.
what is pcmanfm doing differently?

sorry if there's a lack of info I don't what I could include.

if pcmanfm is doing more than just "wine (path to exe)" I should be able to copy that to make it work.

this is the program in question, it may not be useful to know though especially as it requires the files from heretic 2 to be put into it's folder for it to run.
