SimpleLoot v1.0.91: Failed to load config file (is the config file corrupt?) (Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: w. Path '', line 0, position 0.)

(clarification) I don't currently know if this means the file is corrupt or I'm am just missing something. Thanks in advance.

This would mean that your configuration file is invalid. I'd suggest deleting it under oxide/config and make sure to follow the default format and that it is valid JSON when editing it.
