Object reference not set to an object

[xeropresence]

Version 2.0.2.0
Plugin fails to startup correctly, displays error on initialization.

Deleting DFAssist.log allows plugin to start correctly

Please try version 2.0.3, and if the problem persist write here again, and reopen the issue

Still happening, strangely if it fails to start with startup on one run, itll fail to be manually enabled that run as well. But after that if you restart act and enable it manually itll work.

Attached visual studio to act and had it catch the exception for the call stack

	Name	Value	Type

Further investigation, seems like the plugin isn't even working when it does initialize correctly. No longer getting toasts, nothing in the log indicating that a queue had finished or anything.

This seems related to #18
A problem that is causing the plugin to not start at all, or to "falsely" start, making it unusable.

The main issue here is that I'm not able to reproduce this problem (like the #18), thus is difficult to try and fix it

I'll leave this open, if you, or someone else (or even me XD) find a way to systematically reproduce the issue i'll for sure work on it.
Sorry for the inconvenience :(

Looks like its because of how you try to signal that the plugin needs to be installed after the act plugin.

 dfAssistPluginData.cbEnabled.Checked = false;
 dfAssistPluginData.lblPluginStatus.Text = $"{ffxivActPluginDll} must be installed BEFORE DFAssist!";

dfAssistPluginData is null and as such throws the null ref exception.
