    Hi @gauravojha

    I see you are getting the message illegal instruction 4.

    This message telling you that your binaries contain instructions the version of the macOs - that you are attempting to run, does not understand!

    Well this is a bit complicated (physical) and therefore in simple speech.

    Your new graphics processor in your machine, is no longer compatible with the game.

    Do not forget the game is very old, more than 10 years. There are no developments to the game, neither it will be patched.

    You can still try something, maybe I hope this will work!

    - Change the backbuffer in Spore,
    - Check the settings in Origin

    Temporary clearing the cache of your operating system
    Use ⇧⌘G and type ~ /Library/Caches and delete all caches there

    The next, many forget it.

    Launch the game only in the window mode by using ⌘ and Enter.

    Please keep an eye in our mammoth guide to Mac, you'll find there all the helpful information
