I had this problem too - I did make a post but it seems to have been squished somewhat beneath other posts and so I haven't had a reply. After numerous problems getting GA to work, all my saves are smegged. Well, no, they're not - the info is still there, that is,the progress etc - I still have all the achievements and stuff, and my Omnipotent race are still Omnipotent, etc. But the species isn't matched to the save - when I move the cursor over the planet (indeed, any of my save-game planets) on the Galaxy screen (main menu, not Space Stage), it has a question mark in place of the creature icon. If I try to load that game, I get a random Maxis species there instead, rather than my own race (which is still in the Sporepedia). It's as though my creatures have become...detached from their saves, somehow.
I've seen this problem reported a few times here and there, but so far no apparent solution
