SaveGame ignores properties set to class defaults

Digging a bit deeper in the serialize code, I found ArNoDelta = true seems to force the properties to serialize (please correct me if I am misusing this flag).

My archive’s constructor looks like this now:

FMySaveGameArchive(FArchive& InInnerArchive, bool bInLoadIfFindFails)
		: FObjectAndNameAsStringProxyArchive(InInnerArchive, bInLoadIfFindFails)
	{
		ArIsSaveGame = true;
		ArNoDelta = true;
	}

So far as my testing goes, this flag has resolved my issue and the original behavior seems to be intentional (an optimization I would assume is valid in usual cases).
