Re: Spore Account Creation or Login Issues FAQ

The error message I get is none of these, instead after being prompted for a while with Invalid user login (which was obviously an error since I could log in just fine at the spore website)
I now get prompted with this message:

"There was an error connecting to the spore servers. Your computer might be offline or your internet connection may be having problems. Check your connection or visit Spore.com for additional assistance or server status."
I have 4 out of 5 internet connection bars, please help. I even tried posting my issue at the spore website but for some reason I'm not allowed to post.

  • Hi @JC787 ,

    That's the bug report from a server , which is still in maintenance work.
    http://answers.ea.com/t5/Spore/Update-Server-downtime-notification/m-p/4674798#U4674798

    That means

    You can't play online
    Login isn't possible (Sporepedia)
    Possible a login to www.spore.com
    Upload / Download of creations doesn't work
    Sporepedia is completely down

    If you have problems another way, example your account. Please feel free and contact a game advisor, follow the instructions -

    Will the servers be coming back online or is Spore dead?

  • I been waiting for a game adviser for a very long time,  it seems I'm not going nowhere and I can't log in myself.  I haven't had this issue with login into my game early in the year.  I'm now continuing to have this issue I have installed the game since early this morning. But it is saying the same thing on my end with a server issue.  I wanted to know how long will it take get this issue fix?

    @LeonLaGrey

    please read the latest status from  9th October 2015

    • 9th October 2015 - We are almost within reach of passing the servers to our QA department for final checks ahead of bringing the service back online. The length of testing time will depend on whether they find anything in their sweep.
    We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time and apologise for the time it has taken. The team is still focused on bringing Spore services back online as soon as possible. Posted by MaxisBazajaytee

    If you have connection/login issues after the start with your game, try this trick

    1. Start the game a window pop up, it asks you for your login id
    2. Say I want to play OFFLINE
    3. Go back to the main menu in Spore. Take a look below navigation bar and say signup
    4. Type your your access id and go online, it works without problems

    I'm getting the same error message: "There was an error connecting to the spore servers. Your computer might be offline or your internet connection may be having problems. Check your connection or visit Spore.com for additional assistance or server status" every time I try to log on in game, but I can log onto spore.com just fine.  I've already opened the ports listed in this thread, any ideas?

    Hi @Wilosaur,

    Delete the prop.file, may help this already!

    To fix this issue, try browsing to the Spore folder and remove the login.prop file by following the instructions below:

    • Double-click on My Computer.
    • Double-click on the C: drive.
    • Double-click on Users.
    • Double-click on your User Name.
    • Double-click on AppData.
      • Note: The AppData folder may be hidden. To unhide it, go to the Control Panel and click on Folder Options, then on View. Check the box beside Show hidden files, folders and drives. Then click Apply and OK
    • Open the Roaming folder
    • Double-click on Spore.
    • Then double-click on Preferences.
    • This folder should contain the login.prop file. Right-click and delete this file and restart Spore.

  • I too am having this issue. I have purchased the game on disc.  I can log in online but not through the game.  This is becoming very frustrating.  I have full internet access but it says that I don't.  So far I have had every logon issue that has been reported.  I have done all the steps that have been advised to repair the issues but now can't logon to the servers.  Please help!

    Well, its officially june 2106 and said server is still not connecting. I doubt they intended to keep the server online.

  • Yeah. Same Problem. With the Error Internet Connection Failed.

    I made the Way with the Steam Code Paste in Origin and the Game is Now in Origin.

    But when i Start my Game (I buyed on Steam) it says when i try to Connect with my Origin Account

    Failed Connection Internet....

    Login to Spore.com works for me. Only the Registration or Log in in the Game doesnt Work.

    Sorry for my Bad English...
