Hello,
I recently bought Spore from the Origin site, and as soon as it downloaded, went to play it. As soon as I clicked on 'play' however, a message popped up saying that the application had crashed. I've been poking around on different forums all morning, but can't find anything that has been helpful. Please help!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have tried everything at least twice! EA support useless! I am running the latest OS on an i7 MacBook Pro and SPORE just refuses to load. Any thoughts?
How can I understand your question? Does not load the game through Origin or won't start it through Origin. I have on my private gaming site for Mac the settings which are suitable for Mac

Hi -
First of all, thank you for your help and time in putting together these posts. I'm having the same issue, and have tried everything in the sticky post. Nothing works. The only thing I can't try is editing the Spore Preferences folder...but I have no folder.
Is there anything else to be done, or am I just out of luck?

I'm sorry if the tips did not help. Spore is an older game, so it may be incompatible with your graphics processor (on the newer Mac models). On older Mac models runs the game fine, even under High Sierra.
If nothing helped, please feel free and contact a game advisor

How did you fix this?

I had a similar issue.. when I bought the game it installed no problem but when I went to launch it it got stuck on the login screen and I could never get past it, I even had to hard reboot because it locked up my entire system. After spending a little over an hour on the phone with support we determined that it just won’t run on my MacBook Pro. We ended up doing a refund sadly.. I don’t know of any other way to play it aside from using an older computer
