Error connecting to Spore Servers

Even though I'm already connected to the internet, whenever I try to log in, I get an error message stating that there was an error connecting to the SPORE servers. I'll attach a picture of the error...

    Hi @Coront,

    Delete the prop file and check your firewall ports, Spore must be approved.

    To fix this issue, try browsing to the Spore folder and remove the login.prop file by following the instructions below:

    • Double-click on My Computer.
    • Double-click on the C: drive.
    • Double-click on Users.
    • Double-click on your User Name.
    • Double-click on AppData.
      • Note: The AppData folder may be hidden. To unhide it, go to the Control Panel and click on Folder Options, then on View. Check the box beside Show hidden files, folders and drives. Then click Apply and OK. 
    • Open the Roaming folder
    • Double-click on Spore.
    • Then double-click on Preferences.
    • This folder should contain the login.prop file. Right-click and delete this file and restart Spore.

This fix didn't work for me either. Any updates on other ways to get online?  It finally let me log in, but whenever trying to verify it comes up with the same error message. I just reinstalled it on a brand new computer with windows 10 on it, and my internet is working fine. Help would be appreciated...

Sadly, according to EA (talked to someone about it), Spore servers might be closed and dead for good.

I'm not sure at the moment. I may get an answer to whether they're dead or not at this moment.

Now, afaik, Spore servers are dead. That's the reason behind your inability to login. If they're up, then either edit the firewall to allow Spore through, check your internet, or make sure you have spore (and any expansions) registered with their product codes through Origin. If you have the steam-store versions, there should be a CD-Key to the right of the game's tab. Use that in the Origin client.

Either way, depending on your issue, it'd have to be one of those three. The latter two can be fixed, the first cannot (can't make a private server, not sure how anyways).

So if the spore servers are dead, there's nothing you can do. Apologies. ☹️
