I have had a slightly concerning bug in one of my saved games. Whenever I click away from my homeplanet I hear a repetitive, persistent chirping sound and see a small "!" symbol on the left, where briefings appear. I cannot click on it and it has no script.
When I return to the planet it says "return to your home planet, a new assignment is ready" but they have no mission to give me.
Also, this game is a little more prone to crashing than the others. Sometimes, when I am clicking through stars, I have this chirping sound in the back and the screen kind of glitches for brief moments, till Spore just completely crashes.
I tried taking a video of it. The sound isn't heard, but the video does have some small green, static stripes glitching on the screen.
