Little update fixing a bug if any issues with save files. Previously a corrupt save file would crash the game when I was trying to get info from it. A rare occurrence, as save files should be saved correctly, but i guess it's possible if the game is shutdown via the os when a save is occurring. Or perhaps a player has tried tinkering with the save file. If an error is detected, i rename the file "error-[savefile]". So if one of your saves disappears, look for this. If you send me the file i can try figure out how it's not valid anymore.
Couple of little improvements as well. Steam screenshot ability should now work. I'm pretty sure this was working previously, but i think i didnt spot an update which changed things, so has been broken for a while. Secondly the habitat GUI now also gives you a hull status, so you have an easy way to see if you should check some of your walls for damage.
Patch notes:-
Added hull status to O2/Habitat GUI.
Fix: Steam screenshot ability working.
Fix: LoadFileInfo - json_parse exceptions now caught, if savefile error, renamed (error-filename) / deleted.
