SH5 Hangs at "Please wait until saved Games are synchronized from server"

SH5 was running just fine, i go to run it again today for the first time in a few days... game gets to the loading screen then a dialog box pops up saying

"Please wait until saved Games are synchronized from server"

the music loops for a few seconds and the game just hangs... computer is still functional need to Cnt Alt Del out.

argh!

anyone else have this or have a solution?

i tried erasing my data folder under my docs and it did not help

:damn:

total pain in the a$$!

Got it to work, thanks to Skwasier...

i set all permissions to allow under the SH5 Exe and i did the following...
During the launch dialog i clicked the gear in the top right and told it to not sync games online...
then did the below...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher
32-bit:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher

and verify in settings.ini if this is set:

SaveOnline=false

Last, delete the storage folder (this is another cache folder). This folder apparently contains faulty data. gg!

I ended up with my last working local-save fortunately...

Please someone post it here, because many users have this problem but apparently changing my password at uplay.com didn't carry over to the forums, and now I can't login with the same account anymore, the forum server is whining I'm already logged on as 'skwasjer', well duh, and should logon using a different account (wtf... bug galore :rotfl2:)

Try Alt+F4 in Game, that always works for me.

I miss MattDizzle with his empathy stuff right here :D
