Issues with Dark Injection

Forum rules
BEFORE YOU POST...

Remember that all mods available here REQUIRE Spore: Galactic Adventures AND patch 5.1. Patch 6\Bot Parts does NOT include Patch 5.1! (Some may work on other setups, but this is recommended)

Can't get a mod to work? Feel free to ask for help, there's always someone around to help out. Just make sure to include the following information:
a) Did you install Spore from Steam, Origin, or a Disk?
b) Is your game patched to the latest version?
c) Do you have Galactic Adventures?
d) If so, is it also patched to the latest version?
e) Where did you install the mod to?
f) What is the file's current name in the folder you installed it to?
This information is needed for us to help you!

Issues with Dark Injection

Unread post by NegaChomp »

Hello, I've been having issues with Dark Injection, and I know this is a very n00by question, but is it possible to get Dark Injection running with a crack? I know, I know, the actual page says it's not, but I was wondering if it would in my case due to the fact that I installed from legit disks. If it's the cracked .exes and not the packages, then, well I guess I can't use the mod anymore, as I had to exchange my GA physical disk code for an origin digital one, due to originally having a netbook. I'm completely out of installs now, and my old netbook no longer reliably works... So yeah, would it work in my case, or is it just a matter of hoping my old netbook actually turns on to get to use Dark Injection? If it helps, I used cracks for both Core Spore and GA, but if installing core Spore legit will make it work, I'll try and see if I can dig up my old manual...


Apparantly I had an account for DavoOnline I didn't even remember making. ...strange...

So, wait...what variant of the game are you actually using currently? If it's disk, DI will probably work.If it's Origin, throw the files in, add the force save fix, and cross your everything (or just fingers). If it's pirated...IDK, try it. But try this first...with your disk, that is.

The Spore is installed from a disk, with a crack installed so I don't have to go find my old manual, or check the registry on one of the computers I installed it on. It's the Galactic Edition in case that makes a difference. If I remember correctly either 3 or 4 of the installs are used, so I'm perfectly fine (although one of them can't be recovered, due to a failed partition...) The GA is installed from a disk, with a crack installed so it will even function. I had to contact EA and exchange the code for an origin download around 4 years ago. The origin version only lets you download (not install) three times. I would still have one install were it not for this, but apparently the failed download I had when first installing GA COUNTED, which is part of why I'm not going to just go buy another copy.

It IS possible for me to install Spore legit, albeit difficult to go dig up the code, while it is NOT possible for me to reinstall GA legit without repurchasing the game, which I honestly don't want to do, as between the aforementioned download problem and the new Sim City, I'm done giving EA more money.

Install them legit from your disks, Google the registration code. No crack needed.

...oh wow, can't believe I forgot that GA has unlimited installs... Thanks, I'll see if I can get it working now.

No problem! Good luck. You MAY want to use legit Core Spore from disk (via De-Authorization tool if needed), because cracked Core Spore + legit GA + Patch 5.1 (needed for most mods created after the downfall of Sporedum.net) = no animations...(sometimes)

Well, both installs are now legit, but DI still doesn't work. Any other tips?

Make sure GA is patched to version 5.1, and that you have the necessary files from Darkspore (available on the DI page) in the correct location. If you've done those things, ensure you've done them correctly. After that (and fixing any mistakes you made if you made any), check whether or not it works then. If it STILL doesn't work, what does happen instead of the desired result (DI)? Also, a list of everything in the paths /Electronic Arts/SPORE/Data and /Electronic Arts/SPORE_EP1/Data could potentially help.
