I'm running an in person game from an old laptop that is desperately struggling to cope with FG Unity.
I have a full Unity licence, have done since the kickstarter, and I had a full FG Classic licence before Unity. It looks like I can still download the classic version, but it says the Unity Key won't work with it, and the Classic Key seems to be gone entirely... can anyone please offer some help on how I might get Classic working on my poor old laptop?

FG Classic is a different older product that is no longer sold. It is still available for anyone who purchased originally to download; but is no longer supported or updated. Additionally, FGC can not connect with FGU users.

You should still be able to find your Classic key if you go to the store page and click on the store dropdown at the top and then go to Order History.

If you do get FG Classic working - with all of the provisos mentioned above, there's an additional one that no products released after June 2021 will be available on FG Classic, and there have also been no updates (rulesets and DLC) to products available before June 2021.

You might find you can use FGU if you use some of the settings here: Reducing GPU Usage - Fantasy Grounds Customer Portal - Confluence (atlassian.net) (https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/1638006786/Reducing+GPU+Usage)
As well, don't use LOS or Lightning on any maps and keep image size smaller.

Thanks, if the Classic install doesn't work, I'll certainly give that a try.

Hmmm, that might be a problem, I'm installing now and hoping I can get the adventure content I want to run working.

Found it in Steam... it wasn't listed where you said it was - though my Unity Key was.

No problem, I'm playing in person and using FG on a TV as a map and general adventure log tool.

I've installed FGC, copied the module from my Unity install, I'll have to export/import all the images and re-link pins ect but it is at least working. The extra functionality of Unity would be nice, but that will have to wait until I have a better laptop.
