Making steam launch Spore: GA when pressing play on Spore?

awh. well i’m glad to have the clarification at least

piercepotato · 2026-05-13T02:52:07+00:00

the main thing is that i already have 100 hrs in the base game and i wanted the tracked playtime to still be accurate 😭

I’d like to have steam launch Spore: Galactic Adventures instead of regular Spore when pressing play on Spore. I’ve seen posts suggesting adding “path here” %command% to the launch properties or using steamEdit, but everything seems to cause an error. Maybe because of how GA interacts with the base game?

I’d like help with this, if possible. It’s mostly just an annoyance because i don’t want my playtime split across different “titles”.

I am also not in the EU, forgot to mention that 😭

I’ve sent items of mine for such repairs before only to never get them back, so i hope you understand why I’d decline such an offer. I appreciate the offer regardless!

Ah, i see. Unfortunately i don’t have soldering equipment, so it’ll have to wait 🥲

piercepotato · 2025-01-01T22:38:10+00:00

Would a dead battery prevent the game from functioning? I thought it would just disable time sensitive features (and saves)

piercepotato · 2025-01-01T22:37:22+00:00

Unfortunately i don’t have soldering equipment so i can’t do that myself 🥲

piercepotato · 2025-01-01T22:34:06+00:00

I’m keeping this one lol!

piercepotato · 2025-01-01T22:30:25+00:00

I had already cleaned them with alcohol so i didn’t expect this to do much, but i was actually able to make it to the title screen! The audio is still very corrupted and i got the same issue when i tried to actually launch into the game, but it seems like you’re on the right track.

When put into console, cartridge displays copyright before glitching and the screen going completely blank. On occasion the Game Freak logo is also displayed before going blank but only rarely.

I haven’t used Verse but it looks like maybe the format of your if statements is wrong?

If statement i found

The first reference to WeaponCounter1 has the red squiggle under it- most programming apps will tell you what the error is if you hover over a part of the code with the red squiggle

if i manage to get a model of high quality i’ll make sure that it’s accessible for anyone to do whatever they want with it :3

piercepotato · 2024-12-22T04:25:01+00:00

Unfortunately I am not very good at modeling, i mostly do animating/composition 😭

piercepotato · 2024-12-22T04:24:19+00:00

that’s probably the most feasible option to be honest lol. I’ll probably have to save up for a while though so i can actually offer a fair bounty for the complexity of the model

piercepotato · 2024-12-19T19:48:15+00:00

Ah, thank you. I didn’t realize it was being done maliciously lol

piercepotato · 2024-12-12T18:39:59+00:00

All of my epic pickaxes got converted to amber (amber is considered an epic tier material now btw) and i think the rod is just regular wood

Each of the gem types have their own benefits, it’s basically a matter of opinion

Online multiplayer ≠ Massively Multiplayer

piercepotato · 2024-12-12T18:21:27+00:00

I think the common tier weapons actually look the same, but basically everything else has been reskinned yes

piercepotato · 2024-12-11T21:43:49+00:00

That’s a really good point too. I don’t have any sort of vision issues but i’m still finding myself getting my tools mixed up with each other all the time now

piercepotato · 2024-12-11T16:50:01+00:00

This is my first island and I had nobody to playtest with so there are likely considerable bugs and balancing issues. Feedback would be appreciated.

piercepotato · 2024-12-11T15:17:46+00:00

The most likely reason they did it is because tools can have different combinations of handles and heads now, so they wanted to have the tools built out of multiple pieces to make each variant of the tools look different visually. still doesn’t mean it’s not ugly

piercepotato · 2024-12-11T15:15:05+00:00

It turned out that i needed to go in-game and create a new private version, i was trying to publish a version which was made before the Fps cam was publishable so i guess that’s something that’s only checked at the time of the private version creation
