Having the same issue now in 2018. I've tried most suggestions with zero luck, but your suggestions about finding a SPORE preferences folder and such? I don't have any spore folders. Just the application. Help!

Hi!

Whenever I put the command " -w. " in the advanced start options, my game won't start. Origin just pretends to start it, to just pop back up after a few seconds

@Appeljunior

Make sure that you did not activate Origin in the game

It blocks the game on startup and you get a black screen

Thanks for the help! My game started again, but the problem I have now is that there is some weird glitchy/buffering line running horizontally from top to bottom on my screen, which causes my game to lag real hard, have you got a solution for that?

@Appeljunior

I use the following settings for MBP 2015

These settings work best without problems

Navigate  to Settings, Graphics Settings

Do you play in windowed or in fullscreen mode?

Playing in windowed mode

@Freggi-Liz

Oh oké because whenever I use the windowed mode the game shifts to the top of my screen in such a manner that I can't see half of the screen and my cursor doesn't match what i want to click

BTW I also have a Macbook Pro 15" from 2015

Nevermind! I managed to make it work myself!

Thanks for all your help, without you it wouldn't have been possible for me !

You truly are a hero!

It's great to hear that your game is running. Thanks for your wonderful feedback.

Enjoy Spore
