Bug Description

A save game created with RETAIL_COMPATIBLE_XFER_SAVE=1 on the latest main commit (aa36cd6) fails to load on the 2026-02-20 weekly build and earlier. The save loads correctly on the 2026-02-27 build. The issue is suspected to be caused by gamelogic xfer change introduced between those two dates.

According to initial investigation, loading stops at Team.cpp:L2721.

Reproduction Steps

1. Use the 2026-02-27 weekly build
2. Create and save a game
3. Attempt to load the save on the 2026-02-20 weekly build
4. Save fails to load
