Re: Assistance with SPORE

      Please disregard the previous post.....it turns out that since I bought the complete pack, I just needed to download all the parts (Spore, Creepy & Cute, and Galactic) to get it to work. Thank you for your patience!

    Hello on steam i got spore and it does work not why and can you help.


  •       Try this:

          Open Steam, go to your game library, right-click on Spore, then left-click the "Properties" option. A new dialog box will open.

           In this box, click the "Local Files" tab, then click "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE". You will need to be online for this to work; depending on your connection speed, it will take anywhen from a few minutes to several hours.

          Don't worry if it doesn't work right away after verification. When I got the complete pack all I could play initially was Galactic Adventures, but it had core Spore in it; then I verified the cache, and after a few days I was inexplicably able to launch original Spore outside of Steam or GA. Weird, huh?

    I am having the same problem as above. I tried what you said to do and it says "1 files failed to validate and will be reaquired." I tried to open the game from the steam library but it still gave me the same error messages. Thank you for your help.

  • Yeah, it'll do that; sorry I forgot to mention it.....

    If you have GA and the parts pack too, try validating the games in reverse order. If that doesn't work, you'll probably find that after a few days it will inexplicably be working, like it was just phuqing with you for a laugh.

    So there is no way to fix the "1 file missing" but to just wait...

  • Well, it worked for me, but I'm extraordinarily patient about game programs I've bought. I just played core Spore through GA for a few days until it started working on its own.

    how long do you have to wait before it magically fixes itself

  • I'm not sure; I think I found out about four days later, but it could have happened sooner.
