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.

I don't see login.prop. Sorry for necroing.

Edit: Nevermind, deleted Login.prop, but it still gave the same error. @Freggi-Liz? I'd really like to login so I can use the sporepedia and actually see others' content. Well, whatever fraction of the Spore community still exists, in this case.

    it should be there, if not you would have to completely reinstall the game!
