[Windows 10]
I've purchased Spore Galactic Adventures today, just a few hours ago. I downloaded Origin and as soon as the game finished downloading I clicked "Play", but the game didn't start.
Each time I click "Play" a black screen (It adjusts to the game screen size it should be) shows up for a few seconds, then it closes and opens the Origin Client without any form of error message, so I don't even know what I should try to fix. I don't know if it's specific to Spore or to other games as well, as I don't own any other games.
I've tried:
-Restarting my computer
-Repairing the game
-Reinstalling the game and Origin
-Launching the game without WiFi
-Running as administrator through both the desktop shortcut and file location
-Look through similar questions here. All the solved ones' advice didn't help
-Clearing cache
-Clean booting
-Updating Windows
Any help is appreciated!

I was having this problem. I have an Nvidia graphics card. There is a setting for image sharpening. After I turned it off the game loaded as expected.
