Subnautica 2 Hotfix 3: DLSS 4.5 Upgrades & Creature Balance

We have implemented a major technical upgrade by bringing DLSS to version 4.5. This update resolves several high-priority issues, including:

Resolved crashes associated with DLSS usage.
Corrected an issue where DLSS settings failed to save.
Fixed Frame Generation availability errors.
Added granular context to crash reports to assist in tracking down rare technical issues.

Several predatory species have received behavioral adjustments to refine the encounter experience:

Hammerheads: No longer attack unpiloted Tadpoles and now correctly respond to Flares.
Nibblers: Perception range reduced, increased circling duration before striking, decreased movement speed, but increased base damage and Multitool sensitivity.
Marrowbreaches: Increased overall damage output but reduced attack frequency.

Construction: Interior Wall costs have been reduced to 25% of their previous requirement.
Multiplayer: Fixed a bug preventing clients from retaining their position upon rejoining sessions.
Mechanics: Addressed a game-breaking exploit where Strike Armor modifications were stacking additively.
Visuals: Fixed a bug where goggles remained visible in first-person view after exiting the Tadpole Haul Chassis.
UI: Localized text callouts on the Terms of Service acceptance screen.
