Milestone 2.21 Released! (Experimental)

This update is also only accessible by switching to our Experimental branches (instructions on how to do so here) - although note they have slower load times and worse performance than normal builds due to the extra logging they contain!

This is another small stability fix for Milestone 2 while we continue preparing Milestone 3 for release!

[h3]Changes:[/h3]

Fixed a crash that could occur when completing a building upgrade project if a lot of buildings existed across multiple bases (usually triggered by finishing the Gauss Battery Upgrade engineering project).
Fixed a freeze that could occur when loading the game if you switched your system to a new monitor that does not support the resolution you had set on your previous monitor.
Fixed it being possible for aliens to spawn inside the walls of certain UFOs on the dockyard crash site maps.
Fixed the Servitor enemy corpse item being destroyed by its own death explosion.
Fixed Sentry Guns being visible in the Unassigned category of the Soldier Equip screen if viewing a base with no dropship present (they should only be displayed when preparing for a Base Defence mission).
