Log into your browser and open Valve's official link:
store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage

2. Find Your Game & Download

Find your game in the list → click "Show Files" → click "Download" next to the timestamp from earlier today or yesterday.

3. Swap into Local Folder

Paste the downloaded file into the game's exact save path from the table above, replacing the corrupted or desynced file.
