Please update Spore so it stops crashing on modern PCs

Hi EA,

I love Spore, but it keeps crashing on my laptop. I play the Steam version with Galactic Adventures on Windows 11 with Intel Iris Xe graphics. My Civilization stage save crashes while loading or soon after, and the game sometimes gets stuck on the loading screen.

I found out this happens to a lot of players because Spore is a 32-bit game that can only use about 2 GB of memory, even on new computers. Fans have made workarounds like the 4GB patch, but most players don't know about them, and they shouldn't have to modify their game files just to play.

Could you please release an official update that:

Lets Spore use more memory (a 4GB or 64-bit fix)

Fixes crashes and loading problems on newer graphics cards

Fixes crashes in the Civilization and Space stages

Spore is still one of the most creative games ever made, and players still buy it every year. Please don't let it stop working on new computers.

Thank you!
