Quit/start game again waiting period

Steam verifies cloud saves each time the game shuts down, and this can take a while if you have a lot of saves. You'll know it's syncing/verifying if you see this animation on the play button. If that's the case, there's not much to be done about it, except maybe archiving old save games.

Another possibility is that the game is actually taking a long time to close, in which case the name in the Steam UI would still be green. If this is the case, would mind posting a log file after a long quit? There may be something useful there...

Do either of those cases seem to be what's happening?

I only played in cloud saves 2 times but then I moved even these two cloud saves to local because it took too long to synchronize (that was before DLC)

It's not only one time or sometimes that it takes too long for the game to close. It is happening every single time I close the game after latest updates (I'm don't remember if it was the last one or it started happening in the one before that of testing branch)

I would understand 5 seconds, 10 maybe (I don't have much faith in my pc...) but almost 30 seconds seems a bit weird.

I didn't do much. Just opening and closing the game Player.log 

I cleaned the saves folder to have less lag  when trying to load a save (in another bug report) a few days back. I don't remember having any issues then.

What it looks like now:  (I moved some of the old saves back in the folder and made some new ones)

I also restarted steam (and the pc) since I first reported the bug but it still takes almost 30 seconds to close.

I see! Yeah, it's unexpected that it would suddenly take longer to close. Thanks for the report, we'll look into it!

The quit/start lag is gone in the current update  [testing branch update 482255]
