Genesis in 5 minutes with Creature Creator from Spore
The corruption will clear on a reboot, at least for a while. There is no good way I have found to cause it. From what I can tell it isn't a common issue for others using High Sierra, I thought is was hardware but the apple service diagnostics program I obtained all show passing, even after running them continuously for two hours. Description: A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved input validation. CVE-2017-13820: John Villamil, Doyensec. Entry added October 31, 2017. Available for: OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 and later. Impact: Parsing a maliciously crafted QuickTime file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. Hello Spore fans! Just a heads up that Spore and its expansion pack Galactic Adventures isn't compatible with the newest version of macOS (10.15 'Catalina'). The game is a 32 bit app and starting with 10.15 macOS will only support 64 bit apps. I don't know if EA will make a 64 bit version of the g.
The premise of Microcosmic GodSpore is both simple and complex: life from start to finish. Will Wright of Sims fame has created a game so sweeping that you really have to wonder if it can be pulled off. Broken into five distinct phases of game play: tide pool, creature, tribal, civilization, space, you play god—though it's more the watchmaker than the Zeus-type throwing lightning bolts and taking the shape of animals to have sex.
I'm trying to install Spore on my Mac (MacBook Pro 13', Dual Core, Snow-Leopard). I'm having a few problems. Not long ago a friend of mine gave me his Spore copy and his Spore key code to try and install the game. As it commanded me to type in the code, it appeared to be invalid so I went ahead and just bought my own copy of Spore. Journalizing is the way to protect data on Mac OS X from any kind of unexpected hardware malfunctioning issue. Now a days number of file system including HFS+ and HFS file system supports journal file in order to minimize the chances of data corruption.
Spore has also been in the news for the Mac this year. A mobile component of the game was previewed for the iPhone as part of the Apple Event in March. Before that, at Macworld Expo 2008 the Creature Creator was up and running, and now it's available as a demo to download. That's the good news. The bad news is the system requirements will be keeping more than a few Mac users from playing iGod.
- Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
- Intel Core Duo Processor
- 1024 MB RAM
- ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
- At least 260MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures.
PPC Graybeards, no Spore for you. And not for you Mac mini owners, and anyone who purchased a MacBook before late last year, as 'this game will not run on the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.' For those left, you can run the Spore demo, but with a few restrictions that will make you feel like the second-class gaming citizen that you, as a Mac user, are.
AdvertisementMy first disappointment was that Creature Creator only runs in full-screen mode if you don't read the directions. As Open Forum member Muriac pointed out, Command+Return toggles between full screen and whatever resolution you have it set at. Running at 1680 x 1050 does require full-screen mode to access the settings menu, though. The Mac version started up at a default resolution of 1024 x 768, which stretched like crap on an iMac at 1680 x 1050. Once I fixed that and cranked up the graphics, Spore looked and ran great on a 2.0 GHz Core Duo iMac, at least as much of it as I was able to run.
Unfortunately, the demo only allows you to choose a few parts when creating your creatures. You need to pay $10 to get the fully functional game, which will be included as part of Spore when it is released later this year. You can still create creatures and share them with the central database now—a big part of game play in Spore—but creatures created on Windows PCs with the paid version of Creature Creator will be better. The web page states that you will be able to buy Creature Creator for the Mac soon, but I might just wait for the full game to be released. After all, waiting for platform equivalency is as much a part of Mac gaming as the playing.
