I play the campaign (I am at the beginning, it's the third mission) and it takes up to 10 minutes to load a saved game. Most of this time my pc just does nothing, hdd does not work. When I make a new save it is also loaded that "blazing fast". I reinstalled the game with no result. What is weird is that saved games from the first mission load as they should. I also started a new game (not campaign), large galaxy, I saved the game and loaded it, which took just few seconds instead of 10 minutes. What's wrong? I haven't patched my game. Here's the bug report:
