[2023] PINNED: Beta and "Silent" Hotfix Patch Notes

This sticky contains patch notes for hotfixes to the Beta game version that incremented the game version as well as those that did not increment the game version / introduce a new branch to Steam (or other platforms). These types of updates are sometimes necessary to address critical issues without going through additional certification processes that may cause a delay. They will usually be reserved for urgent Singleplayer and Multiplayer stability fixes or logging adjustments that provide us with additional information on such issues.

This will happen more commonly on active Beta branches, but may also occur for the current Live/main branch.
