spore freezing at tribal stage

Jen-96 · 19-10-2008, 09:47 AM

I just bought spore 2 days ago and I'm already having a problem..
When I finish the creature stage and I've just entered the tribal stage,
the game tells me to click on the hut, and then the helmet on the top left corner of the screen. But as soon as I click the helmet the game freezes.
I've tried downloading the 1.002 patch and setting all the settings to low,
but it still hangs every time!

Is anyone else having the problem?
Can anyone help?

Yep us too - at exactly the same stage!
Did the patch thing updating to 1.02.000 as well with no change...

Then checked which video card we had on board..
went to www.nvidia.com and downloaded latest driver - that seems to have done the trick :-)

Hope it helps

Cheers
