@EA_Illium hi again illium, i can confirm that i am playing via the EA App. Today, trying to fix other issues (Red Alert 3 not launching) i tried reinstalling it so now Spore Galactic adventures is giving me a different error: when launching via a desktop shortcut or the exe itself, instead of "failed to launch %gamename%" it says "you need to update and restart the EA app." But of course after you click restart, it doesn't help.
trying to launch GA via the app still just launches regular base spore

    @EA_Illium Same problem as Krisha. Update required, no update to be found.
