Hi @Kaeethebaee

You can try the following things

  1. Open Finder, click on "Go" menu and select "Go to Folder.. ~/Library/Preferences/SPORE Preferences/
  2. Make a double click on the file named "config"
  3. Change now from "flobackbuffer" = "0" to "flobackbuffer" = "1"
  4. Close the file and restart your game, afterwards it should work now

Open Origin
Click on Origin ➡️  Origin In Game ➡️ Remove the tick and enable Origin in Game

Hello! Trying very hard to follow these instructions. I have previously played this game on PC windows. I am not as familiar with Mac. I am not sure which MacBook Pro I have, but I am not able to find ANY file that says config when I type that folder in or anywhere else on the Mac for that anyways. Is there anything you can do to help?
