Spore SUPER unstable after 2nd patch

Spore has crashed 5 times in the last hour, it was not like this until after I applied the 2nd patch - it will randomly crash in space stage when traveling between stars - I have gotten interstellar drive 5 four times now only to have it crash before I can save - this is absolutely ridiculous.

lol

I half expected this would happen after all the problem with the first patchl.

For the first time my game crashed right after second patch...

Its sad that you have to go through this. Its sad that "ANYONE" has to go through this. What are they thinking in that big expensive building called EA.

The number of reports of the Staff of Life (or Staff of Death) crashing the game after the last patch continues to grow.

I'm half-tempted to go get the Staff of Life (wouldn't take me long) and try it just to see if the game crashes on my end.

Something along the lines of..

"It's good that we never listen to Will Wright, our best most profitable game developer ever."

"Yeah."

"How many expansions can we milk out of Spore? I'm thinking 20."

"Awesome!"

"We should insert advertisements into Spore."

"Best idea ever!"

Just tried it. Didn't crash. Gonna go try it again, but I doubt it'll crash.

mine crashed when it was installing the patch! now i don't know if its installed or not.

wow... how bad can this get? EA... just... take... your... time.......
If you just took your time, you wouldnt have needed to fix a patch with another patch that you need to fix with another patch.

But luckily for me, i am one of the people who still hasnt patched yet. at all. and if things keep going like this, i doubt i ever will....

Weird, I got the patch and it is working fine. Only glitches I have are sky being completely black when I continue a space stage guy, and have to go in a solar system for it to start working. Also, in the Sporepedia planets show up as the spore vortex with a question mark in it, but no major can't play glitches.

its actually maxis making the patches, eas just the publisher

I wonder if someone at Maxis thinks crashes are 'cute'.

It would explain a lot
