After looking at the forums it seems a lot of people with this problem are running on mobile (laptop) graphics cards. These should really be better supported/work if they are supported, as more & more people buy laptops to replace their desktops. Unfortunately i dont have the room in my uni dorm for a desktop...should that really mean i cant experience Spore, a game ive been waiting years for?
EA are sitting on a gold mine here, it cant be that difficult to make some coding & optimisation tweaks and expand the hardware compatability, bearing in mind the company make millions of dollars of profit a year.
