Missing gamepath folder causes drive not found error. #352

Description

Problem

A while back I needed space so I deleted ~/.xlcore/ffxiv. When I tried to launch today it threw a drive not found error for /home/arc/.xlcore/ffxiv.

2026-04-30 07:59:22.812 -04:00 [ERR] Error during patching
System.IO.DriveNotFoundException: Could not find the drive '/home/arc/.xlcore/ffxiv'. The drive might not be ready or might not be mapped.

Expectation

Take a similar approach to the windows launcher where it prompts the user to either select a different directory or offer to create the directory and install the game there.

Workaround

Just make the folder myself.
