Can't launch the game whatsoever

Forum rules
BEFORE YOU POST...

Remember that all mods available here REQUIRE Spore: Galactic Adventures AND patch 5.1. Patch 6\Bot Parts does NOT include Patch 5.1! (Some may work on other setups, but this is recommended)

Can't get a mod to work? Feel free to ask for help, there's always someone around to help out. Just make sure to include the following information:
a) Did you install Spore from Steam, Origin, or a Disk?
b) Is your game patched to the latest version?
c) Do you have Galactic Adventures?
d) If so, is it also patched to the latest version?
e) Where did you install the mod to?
f) What is the file's current name in the folder you installed it to?
This information is needed for us to help you!

Moved to Mod Help, as this doesn't pertain specifically to Dark Injection.

Anywaves...so, where did you install Spore from? Steam, I presume?
And is that Windows 8.0 or Windows 8.1 you're using?

Alright, try installing these in the order they are listed:
1. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=47596
2. https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/downloa ... x?id=30653
3. https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/downloa ... x?id=40773
4. https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/downloa ... x?id=42643
Let me know what comes of that, if anything.

Hmmm...

Sorry about the confusion, by the way. It happens I encountered another Steam Spore user the other day, who was affected by what looks to be the same problem that you're having (though it's hard to say for sure - there were some discrepancies, but I don't know if they're actually relevant). That was the first and only time I'd encountered this particular error, so while I was able to help resolve it for that user, I'm still not exactly certain as to which of the things we did were actually needed to resolve the problem.

I'd had that user migrate to the Origin version of Spore. Perhaps you should do so as well. Redeem your Steam keys on Origin, then backup your creations and save data, uninstall Steam Spore, and install Origin Spore in its place. Let me know if you need a hand with any of that. I'm sorry to make this such a hassle for you, but unfortunately I just...don't know of a better way...

It's cool man, there is always bound to be some strange issues with many things. Thank you for helping me out. I'll install spore on origin later today and see if it works, i'll post here again whether it does or not.

Installed it on Origin, though i didn't bother to make backups... Launched it and it works fine, somehow still had all my data and creatures and whatnot... Guess steam doesn't like something to do with the mod. Anyways, thank you very much for the help! :)

Excellent, no problem. Sorry for all the trouble.

...well yeah, they're not guaranteed to be wiped, but I wouldn't trust Spore's uninstaller to leave them untouched even when told to do so if I were you. Consider yourself lucky.
