GA crashes on start
Whenever i try to start GA, it instantly crashes and comes up with "Spore: Galactic Adventures has stopped working". I think the issue is a missing .package file for the game. I have tried reinstalling the game twice but it didn't work either time. Also I use a Windows 10 PC on origin for spore.
I'm just here to ask, answer, and mod.

Re: GA crashes on start
Go to C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming, and delete the Spore folder, it contains all your evolution data, so make sure to back that up if needed. Once deleted. Reinstall Spore again in this order: Spore > Spore Creepy and Cute (if you have it) > Spore Galactic Adventures > Patch 5.1 > Bot Parts Expansion Pack (if you have it)
On what platform do you have Spore installed, if you have it installed on disc, I heavily advise you to redeem your CD code in Steam or Origin, and then install Spore there.

It's possible to improve Spore's graphics using Reshade. I'm planning a V0.2 public release soon

Re: GA crashes on start
Thanks, I will see if this works, and i use origin for spore because i like to mod it. i moved all my mods into another folder so i can find them easily for when i do this.

Re: GA crashes on start
I don't think it worked. I still get the same message when I start GA. I might have done it wrong though. I don't know.

Re: GA crashes on start
I'm sorry, but again, backup your spore folder and delete it, and then reinstall Spore again in the aforementioned order. Do not install any mods after that! If it still crashes.... I'm clueless.
All mods must go to the Data folder for Spore Galactic Adventures. Not the entire .zip files, but the .package files inside, if there are .txt files, read them, as they might be tutorials. If your download is just a .package file, just place it into the Data folder for Spore GA.

Re: GA crashes on start
Well. Didn't work, so I guess that I can't play anymore GA. That's okay though, even though it was one of my favourite games, I have a million other games to play.

Re: GA crashes on start
When you reinstalled, did you Launch Core Spore once before installing any patches, DLCs, or mods?

Heh, I never do that when installing Spore, yet Spore runs just fine. Just a small detail.rob55rod wrote:When you reinstalled, did you Launch Core Spore once before installing any patches, DLCs, or mods?

Yeah, some need to, most don't...it's weird, but sometimes weird solutions work.TheUltraCube6723 wrote:Heh, I never do that when installing Spore, yet Spore runs just fine.

Re: GA crashes on start
Oh, I can't start core spore at all no idea why, and GA worked just fine when i had to reinstall it without starting Core Spore before it didn't work.

Re: GA crashes on start
Again, delete the Spore folder in %Appdata%/Roaming, whitelist it in any antivirus software. And then reinstall the game.

Re: GA crashes on start
Try moving your registration keys over to another platform. IE: Origin.cla255 wrote:yeah, ive did that already, actually 3 times, it doesnt work.
Fully wipe your Spore folder too.

Re: GA crashes on start
I had tried wiping my spore folder after i had done what you said. I had moved my 3 spore games over to origin from steam previously to mod spore, and i don't want to go through the crap i had to go through just to move them back to origin after trying them on steam and them still not working.

Re: GA crashes on start
Okay this isn't working. I'm gonna try to contact EA, and if they can't fix it, nobody can.

Wrong - if they can't fix it, a Virtual Machine still might be able to.cla255 wrote:Okay this isn't working. I'm gonna try to contact EA, and if they can't fix it, nobody can.

Its been a dang while since I've been here, and EA couldn't fix it, however my stuff all works on the steam version, mods and all.

I may know what the problem is, but I'd need to see the initial error to be sure, which I suspect would require you to revert those changes to the GA files.RiskTaker wrote:As of recent I've had the same problem except at first there was an error message saying that it couldn't find a certain dll but i did action before i could screen shot the error message(i replaced the GA .cfg files with the core spore .cfg files)it starts up then stops responding
