Default Super long load times

I tried searching for this issue, and how to resolve it, but found nothing. The issue is one that has been with this game for a long time, but now the load times are excruciatingly long. It is when it says "Synchonizing saved games from server", even though I think the game sync is disabled. It takes something in the range of 20 minutes to get past this. If you all know a thread here that deals with this, or a quick fix if any, I really would appreciate it. It makes trouble shooting problems unnecessarily time consuming.

Put uplay in offline mode, its the star beside the minimize and maximize button. Game will still work but it will not sync with uplay cloud stopping this problem

I had exactly the same problem with Uplay taking 20 minutes to update.

I delete the saved dat file that is in the Log File before each game and I have not had a problem since.

I have put a Log File short cut on my desktop so it easy to do.

Wow I tried it, to no effect. I got the thing teling me I was now off line and would not be able to access features, but when the game loaded up there was that message "Please wait until saved games are syncronized from server..." The one I just put offline.
I will try that thing about deleting that file now.
