This was a great game, had loads of fun playing it as a kid. As a result, I spent a few extra bucks getting a copy for the game, installing it via Origin. Now it is worse than ever before. I started by playing as a carnivore, eating and evolving, growing legs and arms, becoming the Apex predator. It was a good reminiscence from the good ole days. Saved, and logged off. Everything is working. The next day, I started again as a Herbivore, set out to conquer the galaxy with love and zealous religion. Right before moving onto tribal stage, I decided to try and befriend an epic... even though it is impossible. I found a nice big ole' epic, got killed.... and that's where the game lost all of its quality. Like in the good old days, it crashed, fine. The save should still be current as I saved upon exiting the nest editor. But NOPE! it instead deleted the entire save. Frustrated, I try fixing the issue, but it resulted in loosing my last carnivourus save. I tried troubleshooting it, and restarting and creating a new game as another herbivore. Upon reaching creature stage, I design my creature, evolve it... this time better than any of my other creatures. Only, I tried saving before it crashes and destroys my file. Instead the game crashes and destroys my file. Even more frustrated at spend several hours playing the same startup again and again. I create a new game, starting in the creature stage, and saving, only to find the game crash and deleting the save. Meaning that this game just simply does not let you save... AT ALL!!! I tried contacting ea support, and every time, they tell me to reinstall the game, do this, do that, restart the computer, try to see if the game is still broken. Rather than sticking in with it, and waiting until the issue is fixed, they send me a list of instructions expecting it to work, just to end the conversation. All it has come down to is that they will allow you to buy the game for the latest computer, but won't even support it!
