Hi,
So i managed to get Spore working thanks to your help. However, after double clicking 'cider_noui' to get it launched, it popped up coding which continuously develops until i close it - which closes the game.
Any help to stop this? Otherwise after playing for an hour it wouldve made thousands of lines of repeated code.
It's saying:
err:dsound:DSOUND_timer could not acquire mix lock
err:dsound:DSOUND_timer failed to get the lock for the buffer 0xa6e6af0
Thanks.

@Bealo2 Hi
I'm just wondering. This error message belongs to a windows error message!
This means that the dsound file is missing, it belongs to DirectX software
Do you simulate a Mac with a virtual machine!

Hi,
No im using a 2016 Macbook Pro Sierra High. I managed to get Spore to produce a Spore Preferences folder after it wasnt automatically. Then changed the buffer as you said and double clicked on the cider_noui file which launched the game. Then put it into windowed mode using command + return and it plays!
Only issue is it produces this same error page after page while i play in a window behind the game.
Any thoughts to get rid of this? How am i running the game if that error code is for windows? Lol.
Thanks for your reply.

I would run the buffer in the original mode, without change, use the other cider exce. Before doing, clean the cache of your Mac
Command ⌘ + Shift + G
Typing ~/Library/Caches
Playing you the game over Origin or CD?
Delete everything all files in the folder

Hi,
Today, I downloaded Spore through Origin and since then it has been a hell. It keeps showing me the same error (image annexed).
I have tried every single option that you provided. Yet, I cannot even open the game. I am running it on mac as well.
Is there any solution for this situation?
Thanks for helping the community and sorry for bothering you with the same problem.

Hi @daywarrer
Which of these tips have you tried
and which MBP model you have?
November 2018
So, I tried the backbuffer one, disabling Origin in game and cleaning my ram. The other ones I was not able to do since Spore does not even open.
My model is:
MacBook Pro (2017)
macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Launch the game with the cider exce.
Go to the Spore icon with right-click> Show package contents> Contents> MacOS> select one of the cider exce
If nothing works, contact a Game Advisor
