Audio lag and invisibilty issues

Omni · 01-10-2008, 02:39 PM

We have something that may help those having issues with audio lag and invisible creatures.

Create a shortcut on your desktop to Spore, right click it and choose properties. In the shortcut tab add -jobPrority:0 like so:

this now works for me since correcting the spelling mistake!

Omni · 01-10-2008, 09:16 PM

Have you tried turning your graphics settings to low?

Maldayne · 02-10-2008, 09:59 AM

you see thats the problem we know we cn set it to low but then our gameplay experience is reduced. When is EA planning on launching another patch or at least fixing the one at hand

Maldayne · 02-10-2008, 10:00 AM

any effort is appreciated THANKS

My game is already set to low. and I still have these issues. even with the arguments added to my shortcut information.

I downloadede patch and every time I open spore it says error send error report... what to do!?

Resinator · 06-10-2008, 08:13 PM

Any news on this subjet would be good seeing as i have not been able to play the game now since the patch came out, and i am finding it hard to take that i had a perfect running game before the patch and a messed up one after.

You missed an 'i' . :3

edit: F i n a l l y, I can play the game again! I was soo tired of the extreme audiolag and that I had to wait forever to be able to select my planet.
Creatures are still 'invisible' though, but that's probably because of my computer, it's not the fastest. :3

The way I solve that is to bring up the sporepedia/badges/artifacts and browse for a few secs.

Thank you!

This is working for me, at least as far as creature stage. Gonna hold my thumbs... Had some of the problems mentioned with the patch, particulary texture and creature action lag.

IncKursion · 08-10-2008, 12:15 AM

I'd just like to say that adding -jobPriority:0 has worked for me, I can now use patch 1.1 without having severe audio lag and slow creature loading. I still get a few of the 1.1 bugs however, most noticeably the galactic view jittering (flying through space isn't nearly as smooth as in version 1.0) but it's a fair tradeoff for the new features of the patch in my opinion.

Patch 1.2 would be appreciated however!

Nastrazzurro · 08-10-2008, 10:39 PM

It worked for me too, so credit where it is due!

(But I am still unhappy about the way this was handled; a simple 'O dear!; we may have messed up here" would have made it clear that you knew what was going on.) Meanwhile, I stopped playing and do not know whether or not I will resume doing so.

Weeble666 · 10-10-2008, 07:07 PM

credit where credits due... this now works for me, i initially copied the version with the typo in it and obviously didnt help. since changing this we're back in business with good performance again and everything is visible. so cheers EA dude.

will edit my first post

The_Doctor · 16-10-2008, 05:40 PM

Does nothing for invisibility of enemies for me, just audio lag.

Soodle · 18-10-2008, 09:03 AM

Alright, you fixed other peoples invisible creatures. How about my invisible starting planets? Will it work for this too?

Nicon · 25-10-2008, 12:47 AM

Nicon · 27-10-2008, 02:29 PM

I think they probably were.

And writing huge letters, dancing bananas and an obscene amount of exclamation marks probably makes them less likely to help you.

Hi! I have the same problem as you. I also have an ATI card. And that picture you sent, of the blue shape, that is exactly how my grownd looks in tribal stage. When Im viewing those grownds, its the same in tribal, civilaization and space stage. please, someone help!

Im gonna freak!

jascar88 · 04-01-2009, 05:34 PM

hey guys i have spore for the mac and my creatures are invisible and it wont let me install the newest patch any help muchly appreciated as i cant play the game with out seeing the characters lol cheers guys

Jeremy_Kyle123 · 30-05-2009, 06:34 PM

Hi, I've had Spore 1 day and as I expected it fails. Just when I was getting to like it, I exited my most recent evolution to discover my whole species is invisible. I've tried the 'Priority' thing in the properties window as demonstrated but the problem remains. If there are admins on this thread, please help...SAVE SPORE!

P.S. My PC is not struggling on graphics, this game is well within my spec requirements.
