- [p]Access the device with the latest save.[/p][p]Make a backup of the save file on the device with the newest save, then switch Steam to offline mode to prevent the local save from being overwritten.[/p][p]Enter the game and confirm that your game progress is as expected, then exit the game and switch Steam back to online mode.[/p][p]When Steam notifies you of a conflict between local and cloud saves, choose to save the local file to the cloud.
