Spore Creature Creator
Daniel270:
I have to agree with the bugs issue. Particularly after sending some of my creatures to the Sporepedia. Luckily, I found a fix in the forums there.
I'm hoping, since they delayed this several times and months already, that the finished game in September has a more "updated" version of the CC, with a majority of the bug issues addressed... Otherwise, we'll be needing a patch on release day.
RayB:
What problems are you encountering? Here are mine (I couldn't find solutions):
- The CC will not tolerate being minimized or losing focus. If it gets minimized, clicking on it (on the taskbar) to bring it back causes it to immediately crash quit. (It generates a crash dump file when it does). This bug means I cannot click on ANYTHING in the game that opens an external browser.
- All graphics settings stay at the defaults no matter what I set them to (including resolution). That means I'm not seeing shader effects, shadows or anything cool even though my graphics card supports them.
- There's lots of blips, chks, and noise in sound effects, eventually leading to just a buzzing sound out of the right speaker. Reducing the SFX volume to zero mutes it out (but then I have no SFX).
- The front page pop up is blank unless I let it sit there for almost a minute.
- Spinning the galaxy is erratic (but who cares, that's just an easter egg)
Daniel270:
The biggest issue that alot of people have with the CC is from saving the creature to the Sporepedia online. Sometimes, the creature will disappear from your catalog entirely. It should still be stored in the proper folder on your system tho.
As for the "popup" window, that's only for the trial version. If you buy the CD containing the full creator, the window's not there anymore.
RayB:
I read about disappearing creatures, but coincidentally the guys were making "dick monsters" and had dirty words in the creature names. I'd guess EA is killing off obviously offensive submissions.

There is some funny chit going down with this creature creator though..... I saw the link below this morning.

Maybe it's the medication I'm on, or maybe it's my immature sense of humor, but that video in that link had me laughing so hard that I was literally crying. (Probably from the pain of having bruises on my chest and laughing hard). :laugh2: :laugh2:
