GA shortcut launches Core Spore instead of GA

Unread post by TheRealTigrus879 »

So I've been experiencing this problem when trying to launch GA for the first time in several months. Usually I would resort to reinstalling everything I have, but I don't feel like taking that route this time around. I've included a few screenshots of my file directories and the game itself (just in case). Thanks.

Are you getting the white boxes of death, too, by any chance?

What happens if you use the Spore ModAPI Launcher?

You have two options:
1. Strip the editorsPackages~ folder from every package you have (permanent but annoying, may require further action for mods updated for Patch 7)
2. Reinstall the game (might not be permanent, but less tedious, and works for all packages if it works at all)
