Spore Galactic Adventures does not work with EA App

Product: The EA app
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post) 32915895-3fc7-4b21-98e1-a932ac0b5f69
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Launch Game
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 14.12.2022 01:10
Summarize your bug EA App refuses to integrate Spore DLC properly, instead horribly butchers it.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Step one: Play Spore: Galactic Adventures through the EA App Step two: You are now experiencing the bug
What happens when the bug occurs? On the EA app, Galactic Adventures does not properly go into the game, and does not have the tab for adventures. It does however, register that the DLC is there, and attempting to interact with some things from the DLC makes the game crash.
What do you expect to see? A working version of the DLC

This worked in Origin no problem, and the force switch to the EA App is incredibly disappointing.

  • I am experiencing exactly this. I have tried using Steam as a proxy launcher, I've tried opening from the Sporebin folder, but every single time it opens the EA launcher and asks to restart and update. And when you click it, the app restarts but never updates, probably because there is no update. I was able to play last year just fine. Why does EA always have to screw everything up???

    I'm having the exact same problem with Galactic Adventures for four weeks now! I manually updated and reinstalled the app and nothing happened. Like, what the hell? Launchers are a shame to be honest.

    UPDATE

    Follow FoxenWulf's solution and video.

    1. Uninstall EA app.
    2. Download the links from the video.
    3. Install Origin and close it.
    4. Install the "F***_off_EA_App_installer" software.

    It worked like a charm for me.

  • @JulenArtano THIS! Thank you, this is the only solution that worked for me.

    Uninstalling EA optional, you only need to close it from taskbar.

    I've been also struggling with locale. But you can change it in the old Origin app!
    My Game Library -> Right click on Galactic Adventures -> Properties -> in Advanced Launch Options, enter "-L -en-us"

    UPDATE

    So I reinstalled EA app and now Galactic Adventures works. I'm totally clueless as to why but glad that they've apparently fixed it. Also, reinstalling it automatically replaced the patched Origin app.
