Ugh!!! Please help. Changing the 0 to a 1 didn't work for me. Is there anything I can do? I cannot get Spore to open.
I've contacted EA probably 6 times. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, created a new computer profile to open the game (unsuccessful), changed the 0 to 1.
I'm on a Mac - El Capitan10.11.5
heeellllllppppppp!

Hi @richcap,
Have you ever tried to start the game via cider exec !?
1. Make a rightclick on the Spore icon ,
2. Say package contents,
3. Select the MacOS folder
4. Choose one of them

Thanks for your quick reply! Ugh, I tried it and didn't work
It looked as it might - the icon bounced as if it were opening - the large Logo appears and then poof. All closes.
