Sonic_vis.exe has stopped working

The game never had any problems before but I think I remember seeing an update a few days ago so that may be the cause of this. Anyone else having this problem?

The configuration settings were reset after the update, so you have to run the configuration tool before you're able to run the game.

When you're able to run the game, if you have only have a "New Game" option, if you don't have a "Continue" option, you have to do this:

With the new executables, the previous save file won't work unless the player manually renames the save. In the game folder (c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\sonic the hedgehog 4 ep 1) those who have windows vista or windows 7 must rename sonic_save.dat to sonic_vis_save.dat. Most likely those who have windows xp must rename it to sonic_xp_save.dat, but since I don't have windows xp, I can't test that.

Thanks a bunch man. Was there some kind of announcement about this that I missed?

No, no announcement (or at least not here)
