Infinite loading screen in Watch Dogs

It loads to about 80% on the bar, but not further. Wondering if anyone else have had the same problem. If you have experienced the same thing PLEASE let me know if you have a fix for it.

The crash is just that it stops working, tho it takes some time for it to crash. Not very keen on starting a new game file.

Don't know if it makes any difference, but i just finished act 1 and bought the Ghost vehicle on Uplay store right after saving the game.

This is happening to a lot of other people, across all platforms. The official Ubisoft forums have a 150-page thread on the issue.

So, Ubisoft is aware of the issue, and is (presumably) working on a fix.

[Edit] The latest word from the Ubisoft staff:

(June 1st 2014)
The team are working on the issue, is the best I can say at the moment.

It appears to happen when you unlock in-game items from the Ubisoft store. Unfortunately, there is currently no known workaround. You'll either have to start a new game, or wait for Ubisoft to provide a fix.

And in the meanwhile, don't purchase any in-game items from the Ubisoft store!

This solution on the Ubisoft Forums did the trick for me.

Navigate to the savegame folder, which for me was C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\67926a76-de90-4889-8cab-918ac6b11664\274

You will find 4 files in here back them up and put just 1.save back in. Start Watch Dogs and load your save it should work (did for me).

Make sure you make a backup of the 4 files first.
