The only bug I've noticed so far is in tribe stage when you order your creatures to eat. Sometimes they just all stand in a line, but nobody ever goes over to eat

Well... Got the game today, and seems there's a bit of a bug I am seeing. As you may or may not see by the list of my "creations" on "my spore page", I've played through the creature stage twice now... Both times, I advanced to the tribal stage, and the game hung on the loading screen. Has anybody seen this error as well? If so, any solution other than restart from scratch on a brand new planet?

EDIT: Meh... Never mind. Updated my graphics drivers, and everything is fine now.

Pissed off. I went from start of Creature stage to Civilization stage, just spent 20 mins on my tank design, then crash. No worries, i'm sure Maxis included an auto-save, even if I lost my tank design, I should still be in the civilization stage at least.

Wrong. I reload the game, and I am back at the start of the creature stage again.

Bullshit.

That's what I thought when I got my first hang, too. "Surely, there's an autosave every time you come out of the designer or every time you hit a milestone, or some such!"

It's bullshit. I have to re-create everything I did, and unfortunately I can't, because of the game's endless randomness factors. I had a damn good creature that is completely lost.

And then there's people like me who have been clocking 27 hours a day (I've got proof) on Spore, with no major issues. At least nothing that can't be explained by the other crap that's on my PC.

Today I noticed an annoying bug in the cell phase. Three times with no other enemies around my creature just died (with full health)

In Creature phase one of my favorite tactics is to locate a species near to my nest that is slightly stronger than I am, then sneak up on and spit poison at one of the nearest enemies. Once they start chasing me I beeline for my nest, where my nestmates and I overwhelm however many of the enemy species chase me back to my nest. Tonight when I did this the enemy creatures, when attacked by me and my nestmates, started spazzing and jumping up and down like the ground had been electrified, completely rendering them defenseless. Anyone else encounter something like this?

Tired of ads?


I've had temporary issues with my creatures spazzing out occasionally when trying to move upon a move order. Clears quickly but is annoying. Doesn't happen often though.

There's tons of bugs.

For one, it doesn't create any ****ing shortcuts on Vista. On me (Vista Ultimate 64-bit) or my SO's computers (Vista Home Premium 32-bit).

When launching, there's no feedback for 20 seconds or so while it loads in the background also...

Creates shortcuts on XP just fine. Maybe you should upgrade to Mohave and see if the situation improves...

Yeah, the games explorer is one of the features of Vista I am not sure I like. Sure, having all games accessible from a single location is kinda nice, I guess, but it adds an extra click that I don't like -- having a shortcut on the desktop or start menu, as before, was perfectly fine...
