That...certainly shouldn't be necessary...I mean, for Spore in general it'd be a good idea, but that shouldn't affect this specifically...might be worth a shot regardless, but backup your creations and save data before doing so.
Alright, brief update and small success maybe?

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it to the default paths in C. Now when I go to use the launcher it pulls up the spore game window, shows me a black screen, and crashes. I don't get any error messages.

EDIT::

Oh actually it's working fine now. Just needed a minute to rest I guess.

Well sweet, thanks for your help!

so i seem to be having trouble getting this ModAPI to work
i first started trying it on steam, then at the advice of the api downloader page, transfered my keys to origin and installed there

on steam when i would use the launcher, i got an error and then the game started
now on origin when i use the launcher, i get an error, and then some kind of SporeApp_ModAPIFix.exe program activates and remains suspended in the background of my system, preventing the launcher from trying to start again, until such time as i force end the task because it thinks the game is running

attached is the error im getting, i could use some help here

No, but I wasn't sure you had tried it, either. No need to be rude about it. Sorry that didn't help.

Alright, well that's not going to work, given the growing number of mods which require a newer version than the on you're presently trapped on.

Say...do you have any kind of antivirus or anything of the sort? And if so, which one?

Ok so when trying to start the launcher I get this error message.
missing dll.png

I have spore and all expansions installed through Origin on windows 10, and I installed only titan spore so far also through the easy installer. The installation of Dark Injection also fails which could be related, although that's just a guess.

Use the setup program to """""upgrade""""" your existing Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit, then let it update and run as normal.

Also, can both of you please tell me where you bought and installed Spore from? (e.g. Origin, Steam, GOG, physical disks)
I play the game from Steam, i can't unistall the Mods and even play even if i launch from the launcher! :(
Oh, you're using Steam Spore? That would probably explain why this is happening. Fortunately, in most cases, Steam users can obtain the Origin version of Spore, free of charge, by transferring the Steam keys to Origin. Mind you, you may have to contact EA support to do this. Once you've done so, just backup your creations and save data, uninstall the Steam version of Spore, and then install the Origin version of Spore. You'll likely need to re-install your mods after doing so, mind you.
Hopefully some weeks ago i tried to reinstall and now i can play Spore! I just had to reinstall Dark Injections Mod! :)

Yeah, the error you get when running the Spore ModAPI Launcher is correct. You need the March 2017 patch.

...version 1.0.0.0 didn't even have automatic update support, that can't be right. Open the Spore ModAPI Easy Uninstaller, and read the version number in the bottom-left corner. That's the version you have, and the version I'm asking for.

Hello, I've been having major issues with the ModAPI and trying to run Adventures on Space Stage. (Origin btw)

Basically, every time I load a save it asks me to name my captain again, if I look at the timeline and hover over my captain it says "Unknown Captain" with a string of code or something, and when i go to the first mission world and try to zoom in the game crashes when loading up the page that lets you beam down. It's very consistent. The only thing I use the ModAPI for is SnekyGraphics, but i also run the shiny tweak and at 60fps. If I run spore without SnekyGraphics but still through the API, the game crashes. But when I run it without the API at all, I name my captain and the name appears in the timeline, and then I can enter the Adventure world.

I've uninstalled and deleted everything multiple times, went into appdata and programdata to remove all traces of the modapi, but when i install it all again it keeps happening. Currently using ModAPI version 1.2.0.11, spore is on the assymmetry patch, I obviously have GA and C&C.

Please help, it kills me to think I fixed this, get through all the stages and crash on the first mission, i just want my game to be pretty

Hi there. Im having an issue playing spore. I have it on Origin with GA and i have installed API and Dark Injection was installed through that fine. However when ever i go to run the game through Api i get the following error.

i have tried to restart my computer to see if that works as you have mentioned it with a few others. I have only Downloaded the most recent spore and API in the last few days. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.
