Elden ring steam cloud file

[nunu]

So I have an Elden ring on my PC and laptop. I've been playing with a character named Alduin on my PC. I'm doing a level 1 run and long story short I accidentally leveled, when that happened I immediately quit the game and turned off the cloud feature for Elden ring. I went back on my laptop and since the cloud hadnt synced Alduin was only 4 hours into the run instead of 9 on my pc. How can I turn back on and make sure that the laptop save file becomes the one stored in cloud?

Use GameSave Manager (free) to backup the local saves on the computer with the 9 hour run. That way, if something goes wrong, you can restore from backup.

Basically:

if local save is more recent than cloud save : local save is uploaded to the cloud.

if cloud save is more recent than local save : cloud save is downloaded erasing your local save.

So you need to play the game again on the desktop (with the 9 hour local save) to ensure its timestamp is more recent than the one in the cloud.

THEN, reenable cloud saving.

Don't skip the backup. It is very easy to lose the save you want to keep when enabling/reenabling the cloud.

If you don't like the idea of using GameSave Manager, you can backup this folder manually and restore it if something goes wrong:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\EldenRing.

Uh... am I misunderstanding? Didn't they want the 4 hour laptop save to be the one saved to the cloud? It's the 9 hour PC save they wanted to get rid of, right?

Wouldn't this advice have just locked in the 9 hour file they did NOT want (since they accidentally leveled up & didn't want to)?
