How do I transport my game data to another computer that already has the game with Steam?
I have Papers Please on both my desktop and laptop, and was playing on my laptop while the power was out, when I rebooted it up on my desktop my newly gained progress wasn't there, but it still remained on my laptop.
I have cloud save enabled but I don't know how to transfer the data to override what's on my desktop.
Best Answer
According to this thread, the save file is located at
Windows: %AppData%\3909\PapersPlease
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/PapersPlease/
Linux: ~/.local/share/3909/PapersPlease
So copy it from one computer to the other

Can you transfer saved games from Steam to another computer?
It's very simple. I transfer between two PCs all the time. Simply copy the save files you want over to the other computer in the same directory.Can I transfer game files from one computer to another?
Go to your library, find the game you want to transfer from the other PC, and click the Install button. Yes, do this first. Once the install/download process starts, let it grab the first 20MB or so and then pause it, and then exit the Epic Games Launcher. That's step one.Fastest way to move Steam games from one PC to another

As an addition to what BlueRaja said, Cloud Save works when the internet is on. So assuming you weren't connected to any other internet connection, Cloud Save didn't work. It might've detected it after you launched the game on your PC. But since you said it didn't, use BlueRaja's way.
