Talk:Glitches/Major Glitches

Okay, very annoying.
There's an awful lot of "I did this" and "then id lost everything"...and "and then 1+1=2!!!" and "and this is so frustrating!" very, very bad. Oh gosh, someone PLEASE FIX THIS!!! 71.136.40.66 22:15, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please speak more clearly, I'm not quite sure what you are saying. If you mean that it should be written in the third person perspective, well your right.  Wormul.png Wormulon   Talk to me  22:17, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is it. I fixed as much as i could, there's still much more to do. --71.136.40.66 22:38, August 7, 2011 (UTC) aka, the username that i occasionally can't log onto for some reason.

Help!! All my planets (including homeworld) are T0! When I try to communicate, all they say is:"***" and I exit and the first mission doesn't start! HELP!

So I found a new glitch. Sometimes when starting on creature stage, all of the nests in an area will be clustered around your nest, and when you migrate, it won't show any nests on the map (although they will still be there) 69.196.147.101 18:35, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Glitch of epic proportions?
Ok, I was playing my game, which has been acting weird the whole time, and I came across a problem.

When I first got to the space stage, I noticed the T-3 carnivore spot was empty. I thought nothing of it as another of my save games expanded into that area and I might have inadvertently did it.

Well, when I got the interplanetary drive to go scan the space ship on the planet, I got a black screen with gridlines (I heard of this glitch elsewhere), but instead of the ship or a barren planet, the city from the next mission appeared instead.

Now this is not a glitch I have heard of before, so I am stumped as to the solution.

Any advice?

203.206.28.114 00:55, April 27, 2013 (UTC) I had similar ones. Try making another save with the same creature. It worked for me. Don't use the same planet. First, I didn't get the captain badge and the mission said they are getting signals from *UNKNOWN*. (Now I know how the first mission works xD) the ship won't scan even if I quit without saving and use the same planet. It's been happening left and right. Second, I did get the badge and planet name, but the ship was missing and the planet had yellow spice. It was also not a crater planet, it had wisps of sand for land(a sandbar planet perhaps?).

Planet trap...
When I died in space stage, and was respawned on my home planet, I couldn't get off the home planet. There was no hazards or NPC so, any help?

 * That happened to me too...so I've found something that sorts it...completely wipe spore off your computer, then re install it.

 * Or just play a different game with the same species starting in space stage. It *should* give you the same consequences and archetype. Bookworm2.gifrMachine(Talk) -People are like the stars; high above you and indifferent- 19:10, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Do you mean through sporepedia by re downloading them or choosing a different planet? WolfSpirit42 Talk to me 10:28, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Today I was playing Spore and I was helping my friend out (ally) and I was going to make a creature to increase the terrascore on the ally's planet and suddenly I zoomed out just like a planet buster and the game made a sound like an explosion from a anti-matter bomb and then the planet exploded exactly like a planet buster and the flash didn't happen...

I LOST MY ALLY'S PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

NOTE: Every other planet i tried this on it happens again. :(

Interesting Spice Dup Glitch.
I was experimenting on the behaviors of spice and colonies, so I put some spice in my colony and go to the trading menu on the transmission. Well, the colony in question was on a Yellow Spice (and T0) planet. The spice I put down was Red and Yellow. When I went to the trading menu, and there was exactly 5 Yellow spice in the trading log, for 0 Sporebucks. I took it and beamed back up the spice in my cargo. When I looked at the spice, I had more Yellow spice then when I started, proving it didn't just take from the placed spice. Anyone experienced or heard of this glitch before?

Edit: Should I put it in the Glitches list? I need opinions from more experienced people.

I had it. MULTIPLE times.
The glitch where your entire empire is an alien you JUST talked to? Yeah, I had it. Glitches can be funny. Others suck.

Self Destructing Creepy and Cute pack
I crashed during a save. When I reload spore, most of my creations have a padlock icon and claim they use parts not installed. I try and create a new creature to check and sure enough, cute and creepy parts are gone. I uninstall, reinstall (everything) and put my saved planets back. Everything is back, all good...Until I reboot. Every reboot removes cute and creepy again. 75.129.96.93 05:56, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

I think (unsure) this occurs when some antivirus software scan the package file and/or the install path for spore isn't the default. I moved my install to the default location and put an exception for the entire electronic arts folder (so both spore and the creepy cute pack) into my AV, and so far so good on the reboots. Still disgusting that nobody at EA support has any answer other than uninstall/reinstall even though tons of us have told them again and again that we've already done that! (If you've never heard of this glitch before, google it. It has been on the official help forum repeatedly.) 75.129.96.93 07:18, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Incorrect reasons and unfounded statements
Just for an example, the 'glitch' stating that spore crashing and freezing is caused by a 'corrupted internet connection' and can only be fixed by reinstalling the game with 'fixed code'. Seriously people?

(For those who do not understand, it is impossible to 'corrupt' an internet connection. Also, even if it were possible, it would not cause spore to freeze or crash.)

Please guys, actually look at the EVIDENCE before blaming something that is not even possible for your problems. (Writing legible articles in the correct perspective helps too.)

EDIT: Many entries are also duplicated and cross-copied from major glitches to minor glitches and vice-verse.

Ally has a million nests
203.206.28.114 01:04, April 27, 2013 (UTC) once, I was a carnivore, and I was following the midnight theme I started. I found another 'midnight' creature and allied it. Then I discovered that all the nest for miles were of that creature so I had to make ridiculous journeys to eat.
