You should be careful when downloading things like that...

What do you mean tby saying you don't know how to use it but it does not work when you do use it ?

Have you located where the save file is kept on your PC yet for the game in question ?

If so, and you trust the file you downloaded, then why can you not just copy and paste the file into that location and save the others as backups just in case until you figure this out ?

Note that some games don't necessarily work like this.

You have to have the cloud enabled for the game in question, not over your storage amount for it, and the game has to support cloud storage.

The last time I tried to replace a save it didnt worked. Steam cloud used the other one before. Even if I turned steam cloud Off it didnt changed.

I Know its possible becuase it would not exist if you could not and other Users have Done this.
Of some reason you need to fix with codes?

If someone Know how I can replace My useless save please tell me how becuase it does not work to just replace it. Im Talking about Batman arkham city.

Hate leaving a game without My save I worked so hard for.

you should ask in the area for whatever game you are talking about.
