We need a mini-patch to fix the 'crash while leaving home world' bug.

Sporum users have figured out what causes this crash and developed a workaround by manually removing extra game-spawned decorative objects in colonies before trying to leave the planet. This works to avoid the crash, but must be done again each visit as the items respawn. Although the fix works, it's very tedious to have to remove these items over and over again each visit to the home world. A simple patch could disable the game's spawning these decorative items in cities.

Perhaps they all busy working on another patch

The only problem since the patch I have had was to do with the game reverting to my OS language, which is german although I installed the game in english. I found a way around that, with the small glitch that all my achievements still appear in german.

Yes, sending your issues through Customer Support helps us out a lot. We read the forums for issues but also read through Customer Support issues that we see. Plus, Customer Support has suggestions they can make to help you fix your problem if possible.

If any of you are experiencing a sound lag or performance issue post patch, can you post your system specs here:
http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/4785.page

This will help us consistently reproduce it.

Thanks,
MaxisKane

The only problems I have are:

Once, only once, right after I installed the patch my computer had the dreaded "Blue Screen Error" that has never happened before. I restarted my computer and haven't had a problem since.

Sometimes it takes a really really REALLY long time for me to leave the atmosphere of a planet into the Solar System view.

Just today I was playing in Creature Stage and although my creature was supposed to be yellow it was pure white. Even the eyes, like the game didn't even color it in. This was fixed by mating. =D

I've beaten the Cell Stage over 25 times (Gone from the beginning of the cell stage all the way to the creature stage when you first start in your nest) and I have not received the Achievement for it. The same goes for Tribal stage.

Nothing SUPER bad but still some rather annoying things. >_>;

Achievements Completed:

General: 14/17
Cell: 6/6
Creature: 12/13
Tribal: 8/8
Civilization: 9/9
Space: 26/39
Hidden: 8/9
Total: 83/101
