i installed an addon for a game (flight simulator x), but the game crashes when i select it. adding PROTON_LOG=1 to the launch options doesn’t give any useful info, though. i’ve dealt with similar issues before on windows but fixing those issues required me to use the event viewer and i don’t know if wine/proton has a similar program to view the event logs

    yeah i know, but i was referring to the event logs that the game outputs, which could be accessed in the windows event viewer; PROTON_LOG=1 only outputs logs from proton (in my case it’s just system information and gstreamer warnings)

      I think you can set the WINEDEBUG=+eventlog environment variable to make Windows Event Log entries appear on stderr (the standard error stream). You can normally see this output if you run Steam from a terminal window. You may be able to redirect it to a file using Steam launch options, but I’ve never tried it.

        i set the env variable and redirected stdout and stderr to different files by adding > out 2>stderr after %command% but nothing important showed up, only some elf class errors and protonfixes information. i guess i’ll just reinstall the game. thanks for the help though
