*WARNING* This will OVERWRITE your current save game! Resident Evil 5 only has 1 save slot! Back up your save game before performing this. This will also unlock a few steam achievements automatically.

Please read the above warning first. There is no risk of VAC ban when using this. Many people have done these steps, and no one has received a VAC ban. But you will lose your current save game, unless backed up, and unlock achievements.
Create your own save game. If you already have a save, you can skip this step. You just need to start a new game, get to the first checkpoint, where you meet the guy who gives you your equipment, then exit out of the game.
Back up your save game, found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<user-id>\21690\remote" to a folder on your desktop, just in case you want it back.
Download the 100% game file[drive.google.com]. If you are trying to recover an old/corrupt save. This is where you would use that save game instead of the 100% save game.
Extract the file to your desktop.
Download Resident Evil 5 Save Game Editor[github.com].
Extract the save game editor to a folder on your desktop. Name the folder anything.
Start the Resident Evil 5 Save Game Editor program.
Find your save game, using the editor, located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<user-id>\21690\remote"
Copy your "Steam ID" / "steamID64". It should be a long number, like "532180123". Highlight the number, press "Ctrl" + "C" to copy.
Close the program. Re-open the same program. This time find your 100% save game you downloaded and extracted to your desktop (or your old/corrupted save). Open that save.
Where it says "Steam ID", highlight that again, and press paste ("Ctrl" + "V") with your Steam ID.
Save and close the program.
Place the 100% save from your desktop (or old/corrupted) save into your save game folder located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<user-id>\21690\remote" . Overwrite if necessary.
Start Resident Evil 5. If Steam asks which save to use, your "Cloud" or "Local" save, choose your "Local" save.
