Hey guys,
Sure, sure Spore running on Windows 10, but mostly affected pc's with an Intel Skylake Processor , Asus, Gigabyte.
I myself use it on Windows 10 Pro, it runs without any problems.
I share some more useful links on the subject

Here on the German Game News side "4Players", you'll find patches for manual installation.

Make sure that the game runs under administrator rights
Good luck

Hi @CallOfPoods,
