Re: Spore won't open(via Steam)

Hi @MRESpore,

You can fixed it in two ways

  1. Go to Spore.app right click and select properties then set compatibility mode and choose a Windows 95, or Win 7

Next step is a bit more challenging. For this you must be the admin of the machine, all the hidden folder must be visible. ->  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7

  1. Go to C:// User/ Program files (86x) /AppData/Roaming/Spore/Games

Move the “game0.old“ file on your desktop and start the game again. When the game starts without problems, then is your old Saved Games broken. This can happen with larger Windows updates like this one. Its better if you always have a backup of these files.

Cheers

Liz
