To put things bluntly, I did this:
- Bought Spore and GA off Steam and had a great time with it for a few days.
- Decided to move my game install to Origin for modding purposes.
- Installed Spore on Origin without uninstalling on Steam, assuming I would be able to have two installs. I wasn't.
- Uninstalled Spore on Steam.
Now my game won't even start. The GA icon appears in the tray for a few seconds, then closes. The crash log says "Access violation occured at 0x00000000000." I tried uninstalling both Spore and GA, including deleting the registry keys, and redownloading. That did nothing. How do I completely remove any trace of Spore so I can have a clean reinstall? (Ideally without removing my save data. I worked hard on that, dang it!)
Note: I did not actually install any mods.
