Me too - just bought this for Christmas holiday fun for the kids but it won't start. I have multiple monitors and it seems to be trying to figure out which one to use and then just stops. The game is still running but if I click on the taskbar icon (Windows 10) it just tries to load onto a screen again and then fails, leaving the game seemingly running but not accessible.
Update: Validating install files and it says "one file failed to validate and will be re-acquired" but then it doesn't do anything.
Hello. I have found several ways that might help you.
- Try switching from Steam to Origin. Download the game from Origin and remove from Steam.
- Try to enable the Compatibility mode of the game file (SporeApp.exe) with Windows XP SP3 / Vista SP2.
- Unplug the second monitor and leave one. Does the game start properly?
