Official Spore FAQ - Read before posting.

The official Spore Creature Creator Frequently Asked Questions now contains quite a few bug fixes:

FAQ

Here is a few of the more frequent ones directly cut pasted from the FAQ.

Quote:

Q: My game crashes after seeing the EA logo when the EA download manager is running.

A: To resolve this issue, you'll need to update the EADM DMCmdPortalClient.dll file.

* 1. Double click on My Computer.
* 2. Double click on your local drive (C:).
* 3. Double click on Program Files.
* 4. Double click on Electronic Arts.
* 5. Double click on Spore.
* 6. Double click on Sporebin
* 7. There should be a file named DMCmdPortalClient.dll right click on this file and choose Cut.
* 8. Replace this file with the updated version found here.
* Note: If you do not replace this file, your Spore Creature Creator won't be able to patch itself.
* 9. Try starting the Creature Creator again.

Q: Several creatures are in My Spore CreationsCreatures folder, but aren't available for loading in the game. How can I publish these and make them available?

A: This may be the result of the game not shutting down properly. As we look into a fix, you can follow these steps to restore your creatures.

* 1. Go to the Spore application data directory:
* Vista users: C:UsersAppDataRoamingSPORE Creature Creator
* XP users: C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataSPORE Creature Creator
* Mac users: UsersLibraryPreferencesSPORE Creature Creator Preferencesp_driveUserApplication DataSporeCreatureCreator
* 2. Delete these two files: GraphicsCache.Package and ServerCache.Package
* 3. Run the game. You should see your lost creatures restored in the Sporepedia under “Everything”
* 4. To share them, open them in the editor and make any small change. Save and publish.

Please help me

The main reason I bought Spore was to spend time with my friends even though we have different schedules but when ever I try to share my creations it says "Sons of Marz" was not successfully shared. And I am getting all of my friends content while they are getting none of mine. Please someone find a way to fix this, I tried useing the information above, but the files were not found on my computer, if it helps I am an XP user . This problem is very irritating and makes me feel like I am using an old buggy game.
