Re: Can't name any creations 2

Never had this issue before. But what I do know is that when playing through the game, it is impossible to rename your species in tribal, civilization and space. It seems to be having this effect but corrupted over to editors.

Right now, the only thing I can think of is to delete or move the Spore folder elsewhere located in C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming, then trying to load the game again to see if the problem fixes itself.

Note: The Appdata is hidden by default. Depending on your operating system, there are different ways on how to unhide the folder. Simply just do a google search on how to unhide the folder along with your operating system.

    I'm using Windows 10 and I can't find it. I have the Steam folder located under a custom directory. May that have something to do? I don't have the game installed in the moment, but I can't find from other games neither. Thanks for your help, cheers.

    It solved for me. Many thanks. I'll tell some folks I found that had the same issue about this. Kind regards.
  • @Sharples65 In this particular case (with a city hall) it looks like Pollination.package file contains corrupted data. The other files can be restored (copied back from the backup), but this one causes the bug to re-appear.
