Project Saving: Variable Definitions values in Objects are reset to defaults every time you run a project using 2024.600.0.601 runtimes

[DragoniteSpam]

Description

Today's Double Feature Friday, apaprently.

This smells a lot like #6257 but I'm reporting it separately because that one was an IDE bug, but this one's a runtime bug.

It's largely the same, but even if you use Beta Runtime 601 with an older IDE that doesn't feature #6257, the runtime will still erase asset reference Variable Definitions.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set the asset_ref variable defintion to something
2. Run the game
3. It resolves to -4 at runtime

Which version of GameMaker are you reporting this issue for?

IDE v2024.600.0.574 Runtime v2024.600.0.601

Which operating system(s) are you seeing the problem on?

Windows 10.0.19045.0

Similar to #6257, this happens to variable definitions of all types, not just assets

Yes, the runtime and IDE combination is important with this feature, so this is the same as 6257. Be aware you will need to update your IDE and runtime when we release the fix.
