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

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 🙂
Thanks for the help! My game started again, but the problem I have now is that there is some weird glitchy/buffering line running horizontally from top to bottom on my screen, which causes my game to lag real hard, have you got a solution for that?
I use the following settings for MBP 2015
These settings work best without problems
Navigate to Settings, Graphics Settings
Do you play in windowed or in fullscreen mode?

Playing in windowed mode
Oh oké because whenever I use the windowed mode the game shifts to the top of my screen in such a manner that I can't see half of the screen and my cursor doesn't match what i want to click
BTW I also have a Macbook Pro 15" from 2015
Nevermind! I managed to make it work myself!
Thanks for all your help, without you it wouldn't have been possible for me !
You truly are a hero!
It's great to hear that your game is running. Thanks for your wonderful feedback. 🙂
Enjoy Spore 🙂
