Re: [Solution] Spore for Steam - Can't log in to servers

@cooldude2049 Hi,

If you already have a Spore account, what happens when you try to log in with it within the game?

Cheers,

Nils

@EA_Nils I just made a new account and followed his steps and but it wont let me register a spore account i tried 19 times and it keeps saying "An unknown error occured, try again"  😬

The exact same thing is going on here - just getting messages on unexspected errors and no internet connection - which there is....

Yeah unexpected errors as in giant glitch so the game becomes more boring :P

I already have a spore account but if i try to login to it, it wont work

You seem to constantly reply to posts as if you're helping. You are not helping, you are just telling people to go to the support page to get help. I don't like you even though I think you mean well, and I wish you'd stop copying and pasting this one post "for help go to this support page *link* "
You don't work for EA, but you also aren't giving helping hands. Stop spamming in your quest to make yourself feel better.

I have the same issue.  I installed the game fine, but when I try to play the game, the "play" option does nothing, if I try to go to spore.com, activate my registration etc, I keep getting servers can not be contacted and random generic not connected to the internet problems.  I installed the game off of the original disk and entered the serial code off the instruction book that came in the game box.  I am aware of downloading origin and possibly steam, but surely I don't have to load all of that software to my computer to load a game I just want to install and play.  

I have the same problem. I first uninstalled my game from Steam (by the way, it stayed there without playing for about 10 months), then redeemed the Spore base game in Origin, and finally I downloaded the game via Origin.

Even after downloading the game I still can't log in. I tried removing the %APPDATA%\Spore\Preferences\login.prop file and even still it won't log me in. Doesn't seem to be an issue with the firewall, because it's allowing connection.

What's more shocking, I tried to log into the Spore forums but it won't let me, saying that "I have to buy a copy of the base Spore game"... This is ridiculous. My guess is that I first have to succesfully login to the server in order to get access to the forums, but still, it's kind of dumb considering that I did have log in the servers before.

Any ideas? Game advisors aren't helping out, either.

@yonicstudios Hi,

Take the CCleaner and clear your cache and all the other things. Often the error lies in these little things

If you start the game, do not sign up immediately. Go over the main menu in the game

@gabigumsyoutube, I'm also dealing with this and when I tried to go through origin, it said my code had already used.

IF YOU HAVE AN EXISTING SPORE ACCOUNT

the servers are so old now, most of it has been cleared. 

there are TWO KINDS of accounts. SPORE account and EA account. 

If you try logging into your spore account it doesnt work. You need to sign into your EA account, which is essentially the same thing. 

Press the "trouble logging in" to go and reset your password if you dont know it. 

Then reopen spore and on the login page, use the one that says "If you already have an EA account". It is the one with THREE BLANK BOXES. First box is your email, second is your password, and the last one is your NEW username. Make a username.....if your old name works, it means the past server was erased and so was your data so you'll have to restart BUT it will be on the SAME account as before. Same if you make a new username. Either way, you'll always have your EA account even if Spore servers reset.

Hope this helps, 

cheers creating!

I Have been trying to login to Spore for the past year with no luck. Downloaded both through steam and origin. No matter which application i use to open it doesn't make a difference. Every time it launches i get the popup "network play disabled" no matter how i try to login it simply doesn't work. I've spoken to customer support on multiple occasions for hours at a time. I'm sick and tired of it and just want to play spore. I have access to the full game just none of the online features, I've lost all motivation to create. If i can't log in what's the point? 

@Qutie424 THANK YOU! Finally it works!
