[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 7959532, member: 28487"] As far as I know Fantasy Grounds Classic has nothing to do with Smiteworks servers expect for the storage of the IP alias. I used FG before they added the login to Smiteworks in the settings. I bought it from Steam. the books are stored on your machine in an encrypted files. These are decrypted in session and read by the DM client and uploaded to the player clients. You have no access to the encryption keys. This is why there is a considerable upload on the DM network connection. Sufficient that when I was about half way through Princes of the Apocalypse I had to stop as at that time my network connection could not handle the upload of the shared rules modules and all the maps etc that had been shared with the players. Network traffic has been so high since the pandemic that both Youtube and Netflix in Europe have reduced stream quality. I was watching the second half of Stranger Things season one last night and it was the first time since I got fiber broadband that I have seen Netflix buffering. FGU will have more cloud dependence as iy is brokering the connection between the DM and players clients in some fashion [/QUOTE]
