How to Recover Overwritten Saves from Steam Cloud
If Steam says "Cloud Sync Conflict" and you accidentally selected the wrong copy, Valve keeps your previous synced save versions accessible via an official web portal.
Log into your browser and open Valve's official link: store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage
Find your game in the list → click "Show Files" → click "Download" next to the timestamp from earlier today or yesterday.
Paste the downloaded file into the game's exact save path from the table above, replacing the corrupted or desynced file.
