Open Steam, go to your Library, find SALVATIONLAND, press right click -> Properties, then go to "Local Files" and click "Browse..." In the folder that you have opened, just run SALVLAND_SaveRemover.bat and press Y and Enter to confirm, or manually remove all files from the Saves subfolder.

Small update to fix some unexpected bugs.

Corrected some mistakes in English
Fixed bugs on "Militia station" level
Fixed missing texture of books
Edited a saved games remover - now it'll require confirmation to delete saved games
"Fade out" effect during level transition now playing slightly faster
Fixed stretched textures on abandoned school building

Known problems found after the 0.2 release:
1) Sometimes weapons may be taken at certain interior levels and then may also disappear,
2) A bug with music and sounds during level transitions: some background sounds may suddenly stop playing. Loading the last save fixes the problem.

These problems will be fixed in version 0.2.5.
