After writing the script above, I found this talk  : Linux - PRBF2 Now Partially Works through WINE (2016).

Here a other script version (did not work for me).

 

The error I get :

"PRLauncher.exe - Fatal Error.  CLR error: 80004005. The program will now terminate. <OK>"

[04/28/19 15:37:22] - Running wine-4.7 PRLauncher.exe (Working directory : /home/username/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/project_reality_2016/drive_c/Program Files/Project Reality/Project Reality BF2/mods/pr/bi0012:fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 stub

After searching the web I found that the issue is realted to Dotnet40, with dotnet461 the windows "select your profile/account" window does open.

Finally a working script, I posted in the area "Supported Software" : Project Reality: BF2.

I think that the main issue with this game is DotNet40.
