Re: Spore freezing glitch.

Hi @TBMNate ,

Look at on the Master FAQ of Spore, there you find a plenty of listed issues with solution → http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/81467.page

Make sure that you all the background tasks are closed, including your anti-virus program. Your Videocard Driver should up-to-date

Have you installed all the patches!

If all this doesn't work, write me your rig with the operating system

Cheers

I S'pose it'd be easier to just write the rig and OS, since I couldn't find anything on the Master FAQ.

GPU: GeForce GT 610

CPU:  AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor

Memory: 8.00 GB RAM (8.00 useable)

Current resolution: 1440 x 900, 60Hz

Driver version: 344.65

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

What exactly caused "the freezing tribal stage", is until now not known yet - it is a phenomenon. 🙂
Either a Spore Saves broken or your graphics card is too new for this old game.

1. Have you ever tried to play  the game in compatibility mode
2. Go under c: Programm x86 -> Electronic Arts -> Spore -> SporeBin .With right click on the  SporeApp.exe
3. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-is-program-compatibility#1TC=windows-7
4. The next thing you can do, if all this is not working,  reinstall your game. When you play this phase, you should without befriending a creature in creature phase. I think that was one of the most famous error. Read here on Spore Wiki --> http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Tribal_Stage
5. Do you use any mods in the game which could interfere with this!

I hope I could answer your question, good luck!  🙂
