Anyone using the "no cd" for spore?
SNUGGLES:
Hey all! I am wondering if anyone is using the no cd .exe for spore. I normally use the no cds for all of my games. But spore has me a bit concerned. I received it today as a thank you gift ( otherwise I would not have purchased it at all ). Before I install it, I want to know if the no cd will stop it from connecting to the internet. Also will it try to connect if I add downloads or custom content in the game?
I know that gamecopyworld does have links to a working no cd .exe. I am just hoping someone will know if it stops securom from installing and if it prevents the game from connecting online and verifying each time. IS there anything special I have to do for this no cd? Normally I just put them in the place of the standard game's .exe.
Thank you in advance. :D

My understanding (I'm still waiting for my, umm, 'copy') is that yes, the Spore no-cd.exe doesn't connect to the internet; in fact, you shouldn't install the download manager at all when you're using it. It also doesn't install SecuROM, which is one of the main points of the no-cd.exe :) You can still add creatures that are shared by other players and shared outside the Spore site (see the Spore threads in Retardoland here for some).

Excellent! Thanks :D

Has anyone used the 9.7 MB fixed .exe by Reloaded, found at Gamefix? I don't want to download the Creature Creator one by mistake.

I installed the game. I installed the proper no cd .exe. The game still wants me to "register" my game. It wants me to make a screen name and a spore account. What should I do? Have you guys made a screen name?
