2 Computers Steam Cloud issue

I have 2 computers in different rooms: office and living room. Until today, I was playing on one, then the other and Steam Cloud kept them in sync very equally. Today, however, I selected "Download from Steam Cloud" when running the game after a day in the office building. The local save corrupted and Steam gave me the Steam Cloud Sync error message warning me i could lose data. I fire up the office machine again, the world is intact. I quit, shutdown, launch the other machine, still get the sync error message.

I uninstall ValHeim. I remove the user data files. I uninstall steam. Everything. Even CC Cleaned the Registry and rebooted a bunch.

Reinstall the game, relaunch, not a damn thing changes. This local machine has whatever I did last night on it, and won't sync to cloud to bring down what I did today in the office. Same error as before. Driving me absolutely insane. Considering reformatting the entire machine in the living room. After reinstall, it still asked if i wanted to download from cloud or reuse the local game, and i selected cloud, and it was STILL the wrong save data.....

I have solved my own problem.

If you sign out of Valheim on one computer and shutdown immediately after quitting the game, the save is not uploaded to the Steam Cloud before the Shutdown occurs. Wait a minute or so after quitting Valheim for the cloud-save to upload.

You can just use a USB drive and transfer things. Much safer and practical.

I know this is a zombie thread, but...
If I download an older file from a game I played on a different PC will Valheim automatically load it, or do I have to do something?
