Spore crashing on all stages, can't even open settings.

★ Novice

Hello! 

 

I've downloaded Spore directly from the CD, as well as Galactic Adventures and bought the Creepy & Cute Parts Package. However, when loading up Spore and clicking Create, and selecting a stage, it black screens and crashes, and even happens when trying to open the in-game settings. I can only play Cell stage, however when I try and go into the creator there, it also crashes.

 

I've tried the following:

- Running as administrator

- Deleting the graphics cache

- Compatibility mode

- Resolution adjust

- Reinstalling the game (it's been 4 times now..)

- Closing all background apps

 

I use Windows 10, Intel Core i5 with UHD graphics, 12 GB of ram and the game is installed on my hard drive with over 32 GB's of free space.

 

Nothing that I've read has worked, so I'm not quite sure what the problem is.

@iiLixsy Wanted to see if this is still happening? Are you running any mods with Spore?

@iiLixsy When you reinstall is it from the CD or Origin? Can you try putting your PC in a Clean Boot to see if this continues?

It prompts me to install through Origin each time. I preformed a clean boot, still crashed. This has happened on the Steam version for me as well when it was on sale, and I had to refund it.

@iiLixsy If you still have the Origin version, could you share a DxDiag after a crash?
