2nd patch released
raptureswild:
I guess it's more like too paranoid to arr the game, since anything other than a traffic ticket puts my future career in jeopardy. And I'm not smart enough to be sneaky enough to not get caught. I do stupid things like put my real name on my computer (justifying in my mind that I use it for school). Again, as JMP says, don't do that.
Anyways, I'm installing the second patch now and I hope it will fix the invisible creatures problem (since that has been plaguing me, and I didn't put two and two together to realize the patch caused the problem). I will update this post shortly with whether I am still having the same (frustrating) issue.
Edit: If you are having trouble getting the patch in the usual way ("log into Spore to grab the patch"), reinstall your EA download manager. I did and my patch is now downloading in-game.
Edit (again - third time! LOL): Invisible monsters seems to be caused by Patch 1 and fixed by Patch 2, for me.
And it's not that I don't trust the instructions at all. It's also partly because I'm lazy, and I think the box is pretty (I have a bookshelf with boxes of games going back to about '98; didn't say I wasn't a loser). I have nothing against arr... acy? I just don't do it. For a number of reasons. Sorry to come back to this and beat a dead horse but I want to clarify that I don't mean to sound condescending or judgmental in any way.
Insanity Prelude:
Haven't heard about anyone getting caught arr'ing using the instructions here...
grig:
EA and Maxis are too busy buggering their games to actually do anything about Pirates ;)
raptureswild:
True that; and screwing over their legal customers in a vain attempt to stop pirates. Like by not allowing one to manually download the patch from the website and forcing him/her to login to the game to get it. I said a few choice words the other night (see above post) and scared my boyfriend with my anger (he's used to most of it by now, though).
Besides, how stupid do you have to be to bork the game beyond all recognition by a PATCH which you then must fix with another patch? Idiotic. Though, again, I haven't come to expect much more from EA, though it does make me a little sad that they brain-slugged Will Wright as well.

* Space phase: Fixed graphic issue with water levels not updating properly with terraform tools so that visible water and atmosphere levels will now correspond in the Atmosphere monitor.
Cake is a lie. This is still borked post-patch, water still disappears the moment you leave planet.
