    Hello mattiboy99,

    This error usually occurs when the NameGeneration Package File is missing from the local folder EN-GB

    1. Go to your installation directory (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\SPORE)
    2. Open the EN-US folder in Data/Locale
    5. Find the file named NameGenerator and copy it
    6. In the Locale folder, find the folder called EN-GB and paste that file there - you might notice it was missing

      Apologize for my delay response. The XP points I already gave 🙂

      I am so glad about every feedback from a player, who lets us know that his game is working again.

      My great thanks @4f8412ba9074152cfor your wonderful feedback.

      Enjoy the game and have fun.. 😀👽

      Cheers
