Hello,

I sent a support ticket, but seeing as we're Sunday, I'm not sure GOG will bother to look at it until Monday...

I'm downloading Spore without Galaxy-DRM after formatting my laptop. I'd downloaded it without an issue before, but now the third file "setup_spore_3.1.0.22_(10834)-2.bin" continually returns a "Failed - File incomplete" error in Chrome.

I can't seem to find a link to install GOG Downloader to use that method, and (as stated above) I refuse to install Galaxy-DRM on my system since I've heard the horror stories of it failing to fully uninstall and corrupting games that are installed after the fact.

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: I have found this https://www.gog.com/downloader but I can't see the two buttons, and I'm concerned one of both of them might be attempting to get you to install the DRM platform instead of the Downloader... Can anyone load that page and tell me what both buttons say, please?

EDIT 2: Hovering over the buttons reveals that the one on the left is for the installer and the one on the right for a zip file.
It will take a while to see if the downloader is able to get the last bit of the installer or not.

Thank you. I marked you as the correct answer. :)

The Downloader was able to get my all three files, so I can finally play the game again.

Hello all! I have a problem that no one else seems to have, that I have searched so far, i have played (loved) spore up to the space stage, with a smallish 'patch' on my screen, its invisible, but the the cursor doesn't function inside this patch. easy enough fix to rotate the screen, its an old game and my computer is Windows 10 Pro hand mi down, but now that I am in the space stage this 'patch' has blocked my ability to buy and sell things making further progress in the game impossible! Is anyone out there having similar issues? I have searched the troubleshooting pages of GOG, with no real help. I would be so appreciative if anyone could point me in the right direction! thanks!

Encoring years old threads with very little relation will not help you. Look in the game specific forum:

Try running it in a window.
Also, not sure what you mean by “rotate the screen” are you playing on a tablet or something?
