I have no idea how to get the terminal output, I did try to get that but had issues. The forum guide says "$ wine your_app.exe &> /tmp/log.txt 2>&1 " the command behind the desktop short cut is "env WINEPREFIX="/home/claire/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/claire/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Play\ RIFT.lnk" I've tried simply putting rift in as the your_app bit, but that doesn't work
