Sure, but I'm not certain it will help. The problem occurs even in the main menu or playing from a fresh start campaign.

Forwarding this issue to the QA team for further investigation. Thanks for reporting.

Hi, the QA team informed me that the reason for this might be because of a high number of save files in the save folder. Can you try deleting some of your older save files and check if the delay continues?

Yeah, I'll check. I have about 450 save games.
