- In EP1 open gates were not working correctly when they were disguised
- Some customer-reported crashes in Galactic Adventures have been fixed.
Nice Collada support, FINALLY.. Asymmetry is great too.
I figured if they decided to go with Collada that I'd turn the mod I was working on into a stand alone game- assuming that is it wouldn't be too much work to get it going.
Careful. EA retain the rights to your work and have only relaxed restrictions on its use for (IIRC) "Spore products or Spore fansites".
that picture is not from spore
It´s a toy they made of a creature made in Spore.

good job !
the Asymetry is just awesome there was a glitch to get asymetry but it is kinda hard to perform it so this is perfect !
I downloaded it but I still can't use Assymetry
Asymmetry I mean, HELP!
If i remember correctly you hold or press A key when you move or add a part to get asymmetry to work but i heard the it doesn't work if you got a pirated version of the game not sure this is true or not because i don't got a pirated version.
I'm thinking if this is so EA has finally found a way to at least slow the pirates down which is good :)
No, thats not good since EA are full of themselves with this game, i played it i enjoyed it but they think they are gods, being able to limit installs...if pirates didnt exist most games would have never been cracked, although if pirates didnt exist then we wouldnt have DRM, but thats beside the point

Am downloading it!
Coming next : Fake Zeratul!
What is shown in the picture is a hand-made model of a creature, and not something you'd see in Spore. How do I know this, because of Art classes thats how, any artist with a single day of class would be able to tell the difference between one work of art and a fake. Nice try EA, but I've never skipped a day of school in my life.
Sorry mate, but it's a rendered model of a creature from the game, exported into Collada. No a physical model.
ASSYMETRY DONT WORK ONJ PIRATED VERSION AW ****

Asymmetry notes are broken.
can anyone confirm how to use it?
Hold the "a" key and then move a part (with "a" held) and it will asymmetrize (don't think that's a word but it gets the point across).

so does this work on a cracked version of spore with galactic adventure?
also i read the comment above about it needing to be genuine but buying the game from amazon or any other online shop is out of the question because where i live amazon doesn't deliver and the video games stores are mostly pirate stores.

I have Spore on Origin and I keep getting this:
"We are unable to connect to EA servers to activate spore on this computer using your account. Try again later"
I have been trying to get it working the past few days, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Spore and all its extra content, I have updated it and repaired it via Origin, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Origin. I have checked Spore.com for the patch link and it doesn't work and I have downloaded this, tried running it but it tells me game it up to date and therefore the dialogue box asks me to "Finish". Nothing I do has worked.
How do I fix this?
I really want to play a game that I paid for and so far is crap is ********.
