Re: SPORE Intermittent logout

There is no notification of this. Since it is a bug it is not known to EA, and if it was it would be fixed and no notification needed.

How after 6 years of playing I can tell you key areas where you will be logged off.

You may be logged off if:

  • You've created a creation in a certain stage, I.E creating a creature in the creature stage or creaturing a vehicle/building in the Civilization stage.
  • Playing an adventure with Spore Galactic Adventures expansion.

Remember, if you're playing in the creature stage, make sure you log yourself in after every-single time you create a creature, so if you mate and evolve your creature, you'll need to log yourself in an share the creation online, because if you don't the next time you evolve again, that creature will be overwritten by the more highly evolved one. So by making sure you log yourself back in after every evolution of a creature you make, you won't lose that creation.

It is an annoying and tiresome way, but it is the best option that I can offer at the moment, once I have fixed the "0 Adventure Play Bug"  I will request a bug fix on this too.

Just to let you know, I am pretty good in asking EA/Maxis to fix these, I myself have requested two bug fixes that are now fixed. These are:

  • Sporepedia broken search
  • MPN Script fix bug

Hopefully this helps you.

    well the bug has been there for 6 years, i don't think i'll be holding my breath hoping its gonna be fixed anytime soon.

    I can confirm that it does indeed log me out about 85% of the times i click finish in a creator for anything (creatures, buildings, vehicles, etc).

    haven't tested adventures too much yet but i think it does as well

    After years, EA/Maxis must have forgetten about it. It was also not a top priority for Maxis, so they ignored it, not a lot of people have reported this either to EA Support. Like EA Live Chat. Despite their being threads, EA/Maxis does NOT check the Sporum anymore. EA however does check this section routinely. Maxis doesn't look at these problems even though EA Live Chat told me to come here to fix the 0 Adventure Play Bug so the Spore Developers can see it. 

    It's going to be a hard bug to fix, that's for sure, but it's not impossible.

    It logs you out after you save a creation in the Creature/Tribal/Civilization/Space Stages. That doesn't mean you can't login from the settings after this happens though and share that specific generation of your creature.

    Long long ago (we're talking like 2009 here). Your creations would be auto-shared to the Spore servers. I suspect they actually changed this due to lack of storage, or 'inappropiate' content being auto-shared. Just my theory though. I did ask a Maxis admin on the Sporum forums (I think back in 2015) to turn the feature back on due to dwindling creation numbers, but I guess that never happened.

    Probably not even a bug, my post here from 2014 is most likely incorrect.
