Oh, the dreaded Steam Cloud sync issue, a classic! First, try the ol' reliable: restart your Steam client. Sometimes it just needs a little nudge. If that doesn't work, check your Steam Cloud sync settings in Steam > Settings > Cloud and make sure it's actually enabled. Another trick is to verify the integrity of your game files (right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files). Worst case scenario, you might have to manually delete the local save files - but backup first! This forces Steam to pull down your saves from the cloud.
