Ive got no problem with that, im using a 9800GX2, and might i add they're VERY good cards

But it runs 30 frames seamlessly with just a single gpu (i don't know if mines running on single or multi, ive set it to do multi by default.)

Please can you add the buddylist bug and not being able to publicly share your own content , myself and a friend have it and we arent set to just use buddy content so please check my post and update the main post

[Maelstrome]

Done.

It may be because the Sporepedia server hamsters need their shot of steriods

So...
7 out of 8 people haven't been able to get theirs going without problems...
Hm.
I envy that 1 peron

[Zhuriel]

Whoa, almost 90% have bugs? ***, didn't they test the game?

[Rhalius]

signed, I can return the game untill monday, if I cant play the game before then it will be back to the shop. A shame I bought Mercenaries 2 at the same time, now there is nothing else I can get for that money since I cant get a refund.

[foxfire29]

A big thanks to the original Poster for making an addition as requested. I have looked into this for days and I am a Software Developer myself so I know this is a bug and not a case that I havent been through the knowledge base, I have even been on other forums outwith this one and even on this forum there is a thread where people get the issue irrespective of them not having a firewall up.

I REALLY appreciate you adding about the buddylist and not being able to upload content as I suspect nothing will get done unless its in a massivly used thread like this and because of these bugs myself a friend and numerous people on the forums have missed out on the main point of spore, i.e to upload content and be searchable via find buddy so people can add you

Respect
Foxfire29

I thought people wouldnt read the thread as far as this but I can see people are, hopefully EA does the same, I also ask that people dont defend EA for the sake of it as most people who created a NEW account not a migrated CC to spore account are having problems and its better EA knows the truth because then maybe it will get fixed promptly?

[georgerv]

i'm having severe problems too, i install the game sucessfully, however it then cant be found anywhere but the uninstall/remove programs list.

Thanks for your kind words, yes this is the whole reason why this thread exists, to let EA know we are having problems. Otherwise it would take ages for this to get done.

Oh and FYI FoxFire, the games coded in C++, i don't know if you develop that or not.

[Maelstrome]

Added a new bug under the graphics glitches, with the Title Screen (thats the big galaxy where you start a game etc).

[BulletSponge78]

Also getting the "DasmX86Dll.dll not found".

Strangely my brothers not getting this error and I built both PC's to pretty much identical specs. I had CC he didn't. Tried all the work-around suggested so far, games loaded the title once but when I quit and re-started to see if it was a one off it turned out to be...... a one off.

So can your bro run the game perfectly? It may be the CC causing the problem, as I've had that installed too. Maybe the uninstaller doesn't delete EVERYTHING. (it hasn't because I've still got my creatures in there.)

Has everyone had CC installed previously?
