[Wine] debug log.txt

[flyfisherman]

just installed wine a few days ago. have a few games running just fine. trying to get  F.E.A.R. running. when i try to start it takes about 2 seconds and i get the fear.exe has encountered problem and needs to close window. tried to start it from console,same thing. added &> log.txt to the command. same thing. when i close the fear.exe  problem window the debug info scrolls past in the console. but i can't scroll up to read it. so i check the log.txt.it creates the log .txt but it's empty. since i can't read the errors i don't know how to fix it. any idea how to get the debug info into a log? i'm using arch linux, with an amd 4800,2 nvidia 8800gtx vid cards in sli and wine version 1.1.32-1. any help would be greatly appreciated.
