Spore crashing on MacOS Mojave

Spore crashing on MacOS Mojave 

I have done all the fake bs tech support stuff like flushing my DNS, making a new admin, ect.. 

I attached a word doc of my system report after the crash. 

I am using the latest Mojave as of Dec 12, 2018

I am running on a 15 inch MacBook Pro - low tier

I have the identical problem, has this been resolved somehow?

I have the same problem, and after several hours of troubleshooting and chatting in support, finally the chat support person said that Spore is not compatible anymore with newest OS. It would explain a lot why nothing seems to work with me.

Re: Spore crashing on MacOS Mojave

The problem are located that Spore is an older 32 bit game and is no longer compatible with the newer macOS firmware. High Sierra is one of the last firmware on the Spore still running reasonably well

If ypu playing Origin, disable Origin in the game.
Try to launch the game via one of the cider exce.

so, you mean to tell me i paid 10 bucks on Origin to play Spore and it won't even work? Ripoff. I either want my money back or want to know how I can play it. I'm not accepting this as a defeat.
