I've recently purchased spore on ea and i played for maybe 15 minutes and finished the cell stage with no game issues, as soon as i finish making my creature with legs and launch, the game infinitely loads and eventually i can hear game sound but im still stuck on the load screen, please help me and my girlfriend have the same issue, ive looked all over and tried everything but nothing works.
@ExcitingSpade49been trying everything everywhere for hours , compatibility mode, resolution, lowest graphics, updating graphics card, deleting graphics packages sifting through posts and wikis that are mostly 10+ years old etc etc literally anything i could find and i've been having this exact same issue. played through the cell stage then got to creature stage and it loads for a bit, then i can hear the sound and music of my creature and things seem to work fine but visually im still stuck on the loading screen then after a while of waiting it crashes. im stumped man but im glad at least someone has the exact issue. mad i can't play a childhood game i paid for anymore.
yea man it sucks me, and my girlfriend both are having the same issues and we have tried everything, i was hoping to have some more luck posting here and seeing if anyone has had the issue and fixed it
@Zariaomy game had problems with crashing and sometimes wouldnt start up, i made a new folder on my desktop called spore (you can name it whatever) make sure you install it into that folder or else spore files and everything will be all over your desktop and it will be a mess and just reinstalled spore to that and it stopped crashing. or you could right click spore.exe in the spore folder click properties then go to compatability then click windows vista or xp.
yes ive tried reinstalling multiple times
this method also didnt work for me
yes ive tried new saves and i bought the galactic expansion bc i heard that helped fix it, but i ended up refunding it because im not spending 40 dollars on a game that only works for the intro
also it's not really a crashing issue for me i can go to the creature creator and all but i just cant play the game after the cell stage. it gets stuck on loading screen (not actually loading because i hear the sounds of the game and my creature and can seemingly press keys that make a sound but visually im on the screen, plus the loading cursor animation goes away) like i said then crashes after several minutes. it seems like a graphical issue but like i said i have a fine computer and graphics card and ive tried updating it and such already my decently new computer should be able to run a game from 2008
