Offline mode does not work!

I bought SH5 a month or so ago when I got wind of ubi scrapping the insulting DRM requirement to be constantly online.

That was a big issue for me as I often have very patchy internet reception.

I have been merrily debugging the game for several weeks now with the Offline mode selected but (coincidentally) having an active internet connection and it's all good.

Now when I try to play it without an active internet connection It wont let me access my saved games

Before anybody asks I have done the following:

When I try to resume my career the save appears to load but the moment the game visuals start to appear I get the following message:

'The internet connection experiences problems (sic) and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the internet connection is restored or press OK button to return to the main menu'

What gives? Does anyone else have this trouble or know how to get around it?

I could still play a single mission so it would seem to be just a save issue.
