How to catch a log from a game launched by steam

[Mahler]

Hi, I'd like to catch a log file from a game launched by steam.exe by the -applaunch option. I'm working in linux with wine. For some reason I can't launch the game directly because it crashes. So I must use steam.exe. However this seems to launch the game as a separate process and the logging seems to be lost.

In addition, I'd also like to set the environment variables which that application will see. this way I can turn on wine debugging and what not.

That's very helpful.

For anybody who finds this thread, I found an acceptable answer for my purpose.

You need to use the winedbg program. The procedure is the following.

Start the game you're interested in. Once the game starts,

open a terminal and start winedbg.

List the running processes with 'info process'

Then attache the wpid of the program you're interested in with 'attach <wpid>'

Then if you're looking at a crash, you can issue 'set $BreakOnFirstChance = 1' so that it stops and prints a stack trace when it crashes.

then use 'cont' to continue execution of the program until the crash occurs.

I hope this helps people.
