Force an update to Steam Cloud saves?
Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to force the game to update the Steam Cloud save files? I played through Episode 1 (on a Mac, in case that matters) without the "Enable Steam Cloud sync" option turned on. Now, though, I'm about to do a clean reinstall of my operating system, so I'd like to move the saves to the Steam Cloud, and just turning on that option doesn't seem to have done it: it says "0 bytes stored / 100 MB available". Relaunching the game doesn't seem to cause it to update, and I can't see any options in the menus ... The issue is that I don't want to have to start a new game and have that saved, I want if possible to save my existing game to the Cloud, so I can recover it after I reinstall. (I can and will also copy the saved game folder, but having it in the Cloud seems like a more elegant solution, and an additional layer of backup.)
Any suggestions?

I think steam cloud syncs after you started and stopped the game. Have you tried that?
Yep, I've tried that multiple times. I even tried starting a new game and playing far enough into it that I saw some "saving ..." messages. Nothin': the Steam Cloud info still says "0 bytes". Weird.
In that case I would just give up on it for now, because digging into it now doesn't have any real advantage. I would just backup and transfer the savegame folder manually. Who know's, maybe steam cloud will work again after the reinstallation.
