Hi Rawfulz,

after downloading the .zip file which contains the updated files, do the following:
Right click on the downloaded patch, which in this case, is 2.6.14 patch, and select "Extract files...".

Saved games of the beta version will be compatible with the release version when the beta-testing is over?

No, in future versions there will be changes that will make most save games incompatible.
of-course there still some "small updates" to the game engine sometimes, where savegames will be compatible.

In every game version available for download u will see the text "savegames before version xx.xx are not compatible"
