Summary

Stability and Crash Fixes

This hotfix prioritizes game stability by addressing several high-frequency crashes. Key fixes include a crash occurring when hot-joining players in the Sanctuary, a crash triggered by the Veteran's Smoke Grenade during airlock loading transitions, and a crash related to the Salvage/Tech-Remnants UI popup.

Expeditions Mode Improvements

Several gameplay and progression issues within the new Expeditions mode have been resolved. Players will no longer be sent to previous Sanctuaries due to despawn errors or get stuck in sandstorms. Additionally, the Data Reliquary extraction logic has been updated to ensure it counts even if not actively held by a player.
