Spore Patch 2 Now Available!

Forget this cube planets and concentrate on the ingame Sporepedia for a sec!

There is something very wrong!

A very good idea, those cubic planets. Now players will return to the game, be it for only a few minutes, to check out the new content. And maybe they'll get hooked on again, and start playing.

Me, I have to wait till the Mac patch is out before I can try

Just patched and uploaded a creature, the image looks like 2 pasted ontop of each other, and it (them

) are standing on a base.

This was a bug introduced after the first patch, which apparently has yet to be fixed.

So, no invisible creatures at cell stage; but invisible creatures in ecodisasters (very annoyingly) and invisible spacecraft still during space stage.

Generally quicker though and functions at a higher graphics level.

Will try windowed to see if that's better...

That bug came in with the first patch, and I was certain they'd fix it in this one since it's the bug that's caused the most trouble for creators by far.

Now I'm a little upset.

I downloaded the Patch and installed it and it came up with a error saying that the first patch could not be found. I tried it a second time and it still says the same thing. I am getting tired of EA screwing up my game could anyone please tell me how to fix this prolem please?

I feel your pain with this bug. We are really trying to find and fix it.
It unfortunately is a very elusive bug that we have yet to track down.
We will keep trying.

Have you guys tried linking the thumbnail bug to use of Test Drive? When I use it is the only time I get that error, and restarting the game then resaving the creature with a minor change always fixes the bug. Just a thought...

No, this achievement has been discontinued for everyone at this point.

That can be fixed by exiting spore and Re-saving the creature.

Did they fix the Hologram Scout yet? It's annoying that I have to use a workaround to use it properly every time.

The Hologram Scout seems to work properly only when I change the graphic settings. It doesn't matter what I change it to or how many of the sections I change, the scout will work as it should.

Yeah, that happens if you save your creation in test drive/paint mode. Switch to build mode, then save. Then your thumbnail renders fine.

So Guys... Now how do I patch? EADM is online... If I start SPORE it shows that spore is running... If spore is not running it shows nothing... so what? Is there any magical button I should press to start the download?

After I got the patch my game didn't want to load until I deleted the "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\SPORE Creature Creator\" Graphics Package so it would make a new one.
