New spore patch has arrived (Spore v1.01)

umm... THE PATCH ISNT THE CAUSE OF THE STARTUP CRASH ERROR

I INSTALLED THE GAME WITHOUT THE PATCH AND STARTED UP THE GAME AND IT CRASHED IMMEDIATELY

Trainer? What Trainer

A tool people run alongside the game for things like infinite health/energy, free terraforming, etc.

Starguy, ever considered something along the lines of Prozac or Valium? I just installed it and checked it out, works fine. Started right up Ace

Wow, I have to say, I've been effected by the patch. The game, patched, runs perfectly on my main system, which has onboard nVidia nForce 7050/610i, but my mom's system, on which I've also installed the game, and has ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, both machines running Windows XP, has experienced the sound delay and creature loading lag. So she encounters creatures that are invisible for the first minute or so, and sound not playing until perhaps 10-20 seconds into the video sequences, which are frequent in Creature stage.

((Nevermind, it happens without the patch, too.))

yeah i already made it to space stage like 2 or 3 weeks ago and ive been playing creature stage the most cause it's fun, anyways....

i have invisable creatures such as the epic ones at times and most of the time the normal enemies. it's horrable! i get attacked by them and i cant fight back! this problem must be fixed!

i thinks thats a loading issue, my game does that too but the invisibles always load eventually

You can't really justify putting training wheels on a decacycle.

This is more akin to putting food on a styrofoam plate. Sure I could of just ate the plate but I prefer some form of sustenance.

A trainer, or package modification, is not like either of those. It's like a bad piece of cake you start with - so you start dumping as much good-tasting stuff as you can on it to make it palatable.

In the end, the bad taste still strikes through though.

It took much longer for me to notice though.

Almost long enough to not be super pissed I payed as much as I normally pay for 2-3 games for this.

Try and turn of A.I catalyst optimizations dude.

I can't for some reason download the patch. My EADM hasn't added it to query to install nor can I find a like to directly download it.

This is just a thought: They may have taken down the original patch because they are getting ready to launch a new cumulative patch soon. The cumulative part is just wishful thinking.

Locking this thread so as not to confuse people about the upcoming patch.
