Go buy the game, then we'll talk. Also don't buy it on Steam if you want anything to actually work.

1. Why?
2. Uninstall all of the mods you've installed through it

I already tried it and showed the same message.
...where did you install Spore from? Origin? Steam? GOG? Disks?

Sorry to bother you, you're saying it's better not to buy the game on Steam... I don't know any other places to buy our game.... Could you advise where to buy it???

what do?
Use a legal non-Steam version of Spore. Transferring to Origin is free, if that helps. Be sure to backup your creations and save data and uninstall your Steam version of Spore before installing another version.

Be sure to backup your creations and save data and uninstall your illegally-obtained version of Spore before installing another version.

Back like six months ago, when I first downloaded and installed dark injections, I was able to use my steam copy of spore, and it worked. Now, It gives me the message "please use spore mod launcher" (paraphrased). And I can't do anything. How do I fix this?

It means you need to launch the game using the Spore ModAPI launcher instead of from steam. The reason being Dark injection's newer versions uses ModAPI to do some stuff so the it can't work without it.

I have a problem: Spore ModAPI is not working for me at all. I have the Steam Spore version and it's fully updated. Once I install everything, I try "run as administrator" and a message pops up telling me "runtime error". While writing this, I managed to get it to work by deleting every single one of my mods. I tried again, and installed the enhanced colour picker. I tried opening Spore GA with the launcher, "runtime error". Any solutions?

Just launching the ModAPI launcher again after the runtime error should work.
Also, NEVER run the ModAPI Launcher as an administrator.
Hello there! I'm a random guy who sometimes does *slightly* smart stuff. I do a lot of random Spore shenanigans, too.

Feel free to build off my open-source mods, but please don't add them to modpacks; it could cause compatability issues.

If I try to use :di: all animations in game break. I have the game on discs, without steam or origin, and I get the same errors when trying to launch it as some people already mentioned (the 3 part message error and/or the splitwirez one, seems to change randomly, without using admin mode). I had to reinstall GA to fix the animations error. Tried it 3 times with the same result. ModAPI bat files and the .exe 's on their own break my ingame animations so I currently can't use it. I have :patch1.5: without :rp:

I'm getting this error whenever I launch the ModAPI. I can access the game, but it's constantly telling me that I need to launch the game via ModAPI launcher, even though I'm doing exactly that. Help!

I take it you're using the Steam version of Spore?

I am, and Origin said the Core Spore and C&C product codes have already been redeemed.

Some new developments have come since my first post, though. Eventually I got everything to work fine by deleting the Spore registry files and then reinstalling everything. It worked with Dark Injection until I started getting other mods (Enhanced Color Picker, Spore Stacker, UPR, Infinite Scaling, Adventure Props, Strange & Beautiful, Sneky Galaxy/Effects/Graphics, and Reshade) and applied paranoid_modder's graphical improvement guide. After that I got the exact same error as before, but now the game won't even launch.

Contact EA Support.
They helped many others with the same problem.

They have yet to respond to anything. I managed to narrow down the causes of the problem and found out that ReShade was the perpetrator. I don't know what to delete, though. These are all of the error windows that pop up, in order:

https://gyazo.com/caab9ce6502438bf9b90b679a2833526
https://gyazo.com/dc1dc6b52297a9cdd86b55170f72d433
https://gyazo.com/2abe9eb40d62168bb966289281bba55c

One of them comes before all the others, but I can't seem to focus it in Gyazo. It reads:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application."

Looks pretty similar to the guy above.

I get this same thing but with a NativeErrorCode: 5: Failed to create remote thread.
It worked fine less than 24hours ago (for me). But I attempt to boot it this morning and nothing more than a spam of this. I tried the same process that I did right before it worked. And still this spam of errors comes up. If I boot it as admin, like I did when it worked, I get the spammed error. If I boot it without admin, I sill get the last 2 errors, but the game boots just to kick me out via the "you did not launch the game with the API" non-sense that DI gives.

On top of that: With no mods installed (all I have is Darkspore Injection) it will never boot at all with the same spammed error set.

Edit: Is there even any point to reporting this stuff any more? And if any one actually helps, which I doubt, as it seems no one is paying attention to this any more, here is a few answers to some basic questions.
Yes I have a Steam version. No, I'm not going to switch it over to an Origin install, if you can't program the thing to work with every legal version then that is on you. I have both expansion packs. And I'm running Win10. The thing randomly works. Right after I originally posted this it worked again. But after I closed out the game we where back to the same old spam of errors.
