Constant crashes loading saved games

[kevtherev]

Have started a new career and mission. Over the last couple of days I have saved the game numerous times, all under different names. All have loaded on a new start as normal. Great thought I. Today I tried to load my last save, what happened, crash to Uplay. Tried to load the continue mission option, once again, crash to Uplay. I did nothing different in my saving, no additions etc. etc. but still the bl**dy game crashes. After the SH5 screen loads it takes some time, with a blank screen, before the 'Please wait until saved games are synchronized from server' appears. What is this message for as I am playing offline, not connected to Internet or server. Surely the saved games should be loaded from my hard-disk ?. All in all I am getting really fedup with SH5 through this. The game when running is really good and I am loath to uninstall but as said before, fedup with not being able to load my saved games.
