If your saves seem lost, try checking the game's specific Steam Cloud folder. You can find it in your Steam directory under userdata. Each game has a unique folder number, so you might need to do some detective work or look up the AppID online.

First up, don't panic! Steam Cloud automatically backs up your saves for most games. Just make sure you're logged into the correct Steam account. If a game supports Steam Cloud, any saves should sync automatically once you reinstall the game or access it from another computer. Sometimes, you might need to enable Steam Cloud manually for each game in its properties menu.

Hot take: Honestly, if it's not syncing, maybe it's the universe telling you to start fresh. New game, who dis?

In my experience, restarting Steam can sometimes force a sync if your saves aren't appearing. Had this issue with a game last year and after a quick restart, my progress was back. Magic!
