I've found a bug, if I start the SSC (full version) while the EA Download Manager is running, the SSC starts and crashes back to the desktop when it reaches the "EA" splash screen. Quitting the Download Manager solves the problem. Weird. Running XP Home SP2 btw.

My creations so far. Bobosaurus was made by my sister. Billosaurus and Amadillodan were made by my Mum, which shows how easy it is to use. :)

The EU version of Spore.com is broken. It says it's updated things when it hasn't. :-/

Does it not type a letter at all? Because some mac keyboards have the @ and the " in opposite places (from a windows point of view). I'm guessing its probably not that because I'm sure your aware of that but just thought I'd try and help.

I'm perfectly aware of the layout of my keyboard. I think the character is blocked in some way. If I copy and paste, it only gives the part of the e-mail before the @ and that's all.

Have you tried pressing other keys to find it? Sounds like the keyboard setting in Spore is differing to your actual keyboard layout. Otherwise... no clue. :-/
Every other key is displayed as it should (except for the apple symbol (option+1). that gives a square with a ? in it)

EDIT: option and ` seemed to do it. Strange.

This is so much fun :D Do you have to get an EA account to send your creations to other people?

You don't need one to post them here, but to send them to the Spore server (for eventual downloading to the game) you'll need a "Spore" account (it's just an EA account, idky they call it a Spore account).

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
