🔧 Quick Hotfix: Splash Screen Transitions & Safety Net Refined!

We have further optimized the startup sequence to ensure a completely seamless and invisible layout setup when launching or restarting the game. Here is what's included in this hotfix update:

Seamless Background Transition: Adjusted the splash screen animation timing and delayed the fade from black to transparent. This completely hides the underlying Windows taskbar alignment process in the dark, presenting a flawless, professional look right as the game HUD appears.

Extended Fail-Safe Timeout: Updated the fallback safety net (SplashScreenSafetyNet) duration from 4.5 to 8.5 seconds. In the rare event of an unexpected engine freeze or system lag during scene loading, the canvas is guaranteed to force-quit, letting you play immediately.

Fluid Loading Animations: All intro elements remain bound to Unscaled Time, keeping them fully animated and immune to any internal frame drossing or loading pauses.
