@mason5mith, Hi
Disable Origin in the game, often causing the issue
Open Origin
Click on Origin –> Application Settings –> Origin In Game
Remove the tick and Enable Origin In Game
im doing everything it still wont work i got the best apple computer the newest imac and it does not work my dad payed $20 for this game
This is an older game, it is important that you run it in the window mode. It does not support the latest graphics cards and screen resolutions
Go to Origin in your library, click on the cover, you see a gearwheel (Settings).
Then go under Game Properties, then under Advanced launch options. In the command line, enter this command -w. Say ok
After the game is there, go under the options and set the final graphics, including window mode. Say ok and close the game
Then go to the Origin option and delete the -w. Start the game again.I hope this will help

I have followed both of these steps and Spore continues not to load for me. I can't even get to the splash screen, it just immediately crashes.
Having the same issue now in 2018. I've tried most suggestions with zero luck, but your suggestions about finding a SPORE preferences folder and such? I don't have any spore folders. Just the application. Help!

Hi!
Whenever I put the command " -w. " in the advanced start options, my game won't start. Origin just pretends to start it, to just pop back up after a few seconds
Make sure that you did not activate Origin in the game
It blocks the game on startup and you get a black screen 🙂
