Describe the bug
VRCX will crash if %appdata%\..\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat is a broken symlink

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a broken symlink at %appdata%..\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat
Launch VRCX
Instant crash

Expected behavior
VRCX should handle this gracefully. In my use case, the symlink destination is not always available. I would like it to keep checking for log update, but just do not crash when the destination is gone, and resume when it becomes available again.
Even better if the monitored log folder can be changed in VRCX so I do not need to use a symlink.
