Attaching my crash logs. I uninstalled the steam version and now can't get the gog version to boot.

If you install more than one copy of the game, you need to uninstall all copies of the game to fix the issues it can cause, and then reinstall only one copy

#

Assuming that is what is causing the issue

#

You’ll probably want to back up your Spore AppData folder and your “My Spore Creations” folder before uninstalling

Okay. Sorry. I just read this.

I did not follow the directions.

I reinstalled the Gog version after uninstalling the steam version. It seems to boot just fine now.

Very worried about my progress and achievements that haven't shown up in the sporepedia being gone though.

If you backed up your AppData folder, I assume that the locally-stored record of your achievements are kept somewhere in there

It was backed up. I didn't have to use the backup though as it pulled all of it from the populated Appdata folder that was there upon the reinstalled version of Gog spore.

#

any way to access that record?

If the AppData was already there, then it should still be in there I think
