    @Bungledess87, Hi

    Ah nope thats absolutely not true.

    Fact is:  Spore runs without problems even on Windows Pro 10 64 version.

    I myself have it just last weekend moved on the system, before I played it on MBP -> Macbook Pro 2014. It is important that you have a good configured operating system.

    Spore is very sensitive to these things.

    1. Disable all background programs during the time where you are playing
    2. Check that you have installed all the latest graphics driver
    3. Choose never a higher screen resolution, since this does not support Spore
    4. Because these are the things that may crash the game
    5. You can the game switch into the compatibility mode, read below

    Delete the graphics cache, they often causes this problems

    Starts the game in compatibility mode

    1. Right click on the Spore Icon
    2. Properties
    3. Choose compatibility tab
    4. Choose a Windows version, 
    5. and set a flag in 'Run this program as an administrator'
    6. Say OK

    Hope this will helps!

    Cheers
