Description

Chapters 9 and 10 save log files to the same place as save files. As per #111, steam cloud has a file limit, which varies per chapter.

To avoid using up the file limit, log files should be placed in a different folder than the save files.

Note that we have two different save files, the save files which are generated by the game (`Player.log` and `Player-prev.log`), and the mod log files which we added to debug the layer error issue (`mod_log_1.txt`, `mod_log_2.txt`). Both should not be put in the steam cloud folder.

Research direction

Look at the save file handling code in Chapters 9 and 10 to find where log files (Player.log, Player-prev.log, mod_log_1.txt, mod_log_2.txt) are written. Change the output directory for these logs to a non-Steam Cloud folder. Test by running the game and verifying logs appear in the new location while saves remain in the original folder.
