You can get around this by opening the Galactic Adventures app directly in the SporebinEP1 folder.
this doesnt work for me, it tries to open the game through the app and then a message pops up saying "your game failed to launch"
Why should we have to dig around in folders outside the app to play things we could access just fine through Origin?
Now that whatever fixes I had in place to keep from updating don't work I'd like to bring this up again; my playtime (+2,000 hours) for GA is gone and clicking the 'play' button under GA just opens the core game without GA. Fix your app.
update: I feel the need to stress that that this issue is specifically with the app, locating SporeApp.exe and launching Galactic Adventures that way works just fine, and reinstalling GA even puts the right shortcut on the desktop; the situation with the app itself it baffling to me.
