Select 'Recommended' or 'Custom' for your installation. It's worth keeping an extra copy of this CD key in a safe place if you lose it, you won't be able to reinstall the content unless you find it or buy another copy of the game.Д®nter the CD key, being careful to type out the characters accurately, then click 'Next' to move on to the next screen.

You can find this in the manual where the disc was packaged. If you haven't changed any settings, the disc should automatically start running.Д¬lick 'Next' until the installation guide asks for the CD key. Remove the expansion disc from the box and insert it into your computer. Select whether you'd like a Start menu or desktop shortcut, followed by 'Next' to begin downloading. Click 'Next' on the installation box when it appears. If you do, the purchased content automatically downloads into your installed game. Right-click 'Spore' and select 'Install Game' to open up a new box if you don't have the game installed.

Switch to the Library tab if this doesn't come up by default, clicking 'Games' from the drop-down menu that appears. Open the Steam client and log in to your account. If you want to use Steam, be sure that you own a copy of the 'Spore' base game on that Steam account before making a purchase. Purchase the additional 'Spore' content through the Steam Web store. You do not need to open the game through the expansion pack. With the purchased content, you'll see the new parts when opening the game.

This will install the base game and the purchased content.Д¬lick 'Play' to load 'Spore' as normal. Click 'Download' to download and install the game if it isn't already installed.

It's possible the problem is that the code application won't run, and thus won't activate the game, because the OS works differently than the older ones, and this is why running the code application in compatability mode seems to work.Move your cursor over 'Spore' to reveal a pop-up box. The only problem I still have is that the game won't connect to the online servers, but I'm counting on fixing this as well, soon, by following one of the guides on this page.ДЄnyway, this worked for me, and I can finally enjoy Spore once again.

#MY SPORE PC GAME WON INSTALL PATCH#

The next time you launch the game it should be running patch 5.1 (v).

#MY SPORE PC GAME WON INSTALL UPDATE#

The patch should recognise your game, and update it, without problem (which is rather unique for an EA product, really). Just go to and download the patch from there. However, you can still get the latest patch for your game. Insert the disc 1 CD/DVD for your game into. The only downside is that you won't be able to update your game through Origin. Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 7and 8 for the other games. It alsoВ won't communicate with Origin (but honestly, why would you want it to?). Now, you still won't have a Spore shortcut, but you can make one manually (just use the 'SporeApp' file for this). Once you press 'OK' on this message, the game should launch! This is not true, of course, the fact is you most likely have a graphics card that is too new for the game to recognise it. Now then, you should hear your disk drive start buzzing, and pretty soon you'll probably getting a message telling you that you appear to be using an outdated graphics card, and that this may affect the performance of your game. Run it! (You can run it as an admin to be extra safe, but that shouldn't be necessary). You'll find an application called 'SporeApp'. But if you go to your SPORE folder (as described above), then select the folder named 'Sporebin'. Running this application should, somehow, make the game playable, but you still won't have a Spore icon to click and launch the game. Now then, run the application (SPORE(TM)_code). I have included a screenshot of what the tab should look like now. Here, press the 'change settings for all users' button (requires admin access), and tick the boxes 'run this program in compatability mode for', and 'run this program as an administrator'. Right click this application, then select 'properties'. In it, below a bunch of language file folders, you'll find an application named SPORE(TM)_code. Now, in your SPORE folder, you should have a folder titled 'Support'. For me, the path is: This PC -> Local Disk ( C: ) -> Program Files (x86) -> Electronic Arts -> SPORE If the game appears to have installed properly, you should now have the game files in a folder on your computer. I'm running Windows 10, so keep in mind that the solution may look different on a mac or earlier versions of windows. I'll try to recount the steps I took here. I have had the exact same problem recently, and I have just found a way to - sort of? - fix it.
