Hotfix Easy 5.5.1

Updated to fix crash on load with the 2023/12/14 base game update.

Hotfix Easy 5.5

Maps
- Removed night-time street lamps
-- Night gameplay isn't very desired, and these may have been impacting performance negatively even during the day as they were a lot of extra actors. Performance increase may be noticeable on maps with cities such as Carentan, Nijmegen, and Oosterbeek.
- Changed lighting to fix indoor shadows
-- This involved removing shadows from a global skylight and also lowering its intensities. Indoor lighting should feel more natural, and ugly shadows present when on High Shadows & Effects should no longer be present. Overall lighting may or may not feel the same, but it should be close to how it was before. Users who play on Low/Medium Shadows and Medium Effects may or may not notice a large change in outdoor lighting.
