EA Staff (Retired)Hey Everyone,
I wanted to confirm with everyone in this thread if you are playing via the EA app or the Steam clients?
I'm using the ea app. I was launching galactic adventures from the .exe file and the desktop icon, since it's currently bugged on the EA launcher and the GA button just launches regular spore.
Same as dell. Launching the exe directly since it didn't work in the app, but playing via the EA app.
Muuu. I just got Galactic Adventures today and it seems to not load properly either. Whenever I launch the game, it just launches regular Spore.
I'm playing through the EA client. Please don't say I spent $29.99 for nothing ☹️
Can we get some more info on this situation?
via the EA app
@EA_Illium Same problem as Krisha. Update required, no update to be found.
I just tried reinstalling the game and I have the same issue- going through the app runs regular Spore, going through the desktop gives the update message. This does make me think something might be being worked on at least... I hope GA can be brought back to working order soon.
When pressing play for Galactic Adventures, it will always lead you to the base version of Spore. Spore is a very old game, and it's expansion 'Galactic Adventures' is an expansion pack with it's own unique executeable file.
To solve this, locate the hard-drive where you installed Spore (usually C) and follow this directory:
1. C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\SPORE Galactic Adventures\SporebinEP1
2. Load up SporeApp.exe - This should now load Spore Galactic Adventures.
The issue is because it's redirecting you to the base Spore via the EA App. The team hasn't set the correct executable to launch. This should be a relatively easy fix. @EA_Illium
It doesn't help that both executables have the same exact name.

What do you mean by that
do you mean we should click on SporeApp.exe
