'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
i just got a new laptop and transferred my spore data. since all of them were made using the dark injection mod, i needed to re-download it. it worked perfectly fine on my old laptop, but now every time i try and play spore using the modAPI i get this, anyone know what i can do?

I've been having this issue as well, I don't know what the problem is.

Where did you two install Spore from? Steam? GOG? Disks? Origin?

i originally had it on steam, and for quite a while too. it worked perfectly on my last laptop, but i switched to this version and now...nothing. However, i read that the steam client was unreliable in the ModAPI download, so i used the steam product key to get the game for free on origin. now it refuses to open
Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
Sounds like you forgot to uninstall the Steam version of Spore before installing the Origin version. Cleaning that up is going to be a...messy job...zmech9001 wrote:i originally had it on steam, and for quite a while too. it worked perfectly on my last laptop, but i switched to this version and now...nothing.

Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
i need to completely remove ALL steam files of the game? or just have the game uninstalled? i uninstalled it but i think the files are still there as a back up
Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
ok now its not even the API that's the problem, i tried uninstalling and re-installing spore and now spore refuses to download,it just says 'DirectX Setup Error: An internal error occured' when download reaches 99%
Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
Depends...what files are you referring to, which supposedly still exist as backups?zmech9001 wrote:i need to completely remove ALL steam files of the game? or just have the game uninstalled? i uninstalled it but i think the files are still there as a back up
Looks like that's not a problem specific to Spore, but which can apply to some other games available through Origin as well. Fortunately for you, that means there's plenty of information around on what to do about it. I'd suggest you look around there. If you find yourself having trouble locating anything of use, I'm here, just say the word. In either case, once that's out of the way, we'll get back to getting your game set up with Dark Injection and all (assuming you even need me for that part of the job).zmech9001 wrote:ok now its not even the API that's the problem, i tried uninstalling and re-installing spore and now spore refuses to download,it just says 'DirectX Setup Error: An internal error occured' when download reaches 99%

Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
ok, it took me a while but i FINALLY got spore to work again, i reinstalled dark injection and everything was fine...until i went on my sporepedia page and found that everything i made using DI was locked because apparently the stuff i used to make it didnt exist in this. so now i really have no clue what to do
Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
If you haven't already reinstalled DI, you'll need to do so. If you already have, or if doing so doesn't help, well...Spore is very good at noticing when creations depend on parts which are missing, but unfortunately, it's not so great at noticing when those parts stop being missing.zmech9001 wrote:ok, it took me a while but i FINALLY got spore to work again, i reinstalled dark injection and everything was fine...until i went on my sporepedia page and found that everything i made using DI was locked because apparently the stuff i used to make it didnt exist in this. so now i really have no clue what to do
Hmm...do you care about your galaxy/save games? If not, then I may have an idea for how we could address this problem...

Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
i reinstalled DI. my save games are on my old laptop anyway, so i dont worry about them. i have a backup of all my creations made in a folder separate to any real spore files.
Re: 'please close spore and re-open it through the spore modAPI'
Well actually, if the saves still exist on your old laptop, we could get them moved over...if you'd like, that is.zmech9001 wrote:i reinstalled DI. my save games are on my old laptop anyway, so i dont worry about them. i have a backup of all my creations made in a folder separate to any real spore files.

Лично для моего Windows 10, спустя два дня мучений, я нашел выход. Просто установил Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable x86 с официального сайта и все. Теперь играю с модом Dark Injection и радуюсь.

Do you have various patches required for DI and Spore ModAPI?zmech9001 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2019 7:06 am i just got a new laptop and transferred my spore data. since all of them were made using the dark injection mod, i needed to re-download it. it worked perfectly fine on my old laptop, but now every time i try and play spore using the modAPI i get this, anyone know what i can do?
