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

    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

    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
