Having finished my deadline I'm back in Liberty City... and just saw something new; after jacking a car - the usual throw the driver out of the vehicle at a red light - the car behind me decided to go all vigilante and started chasing me & ramming me. Quel surprise. I ended up shooting the bugger.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

I'm back in Liberty City...
Speaking of, Pete. Is Liberty City still pretty much the same, as far as general layout goes? I'm presuming there has to be some road changes, new construction and whatnot, but the basic layout is still there, yes?

Sean, I have no idea, it's been too long since I played GTA III. Take a look back a couple of hundred posts for a post from Tom Scola about a Google maps version of Liberty City. That link will show you the current map.

Okay, I'm a bit pissed at Fantasy Grounds now. I have paid them to get the licenses and something fubared on their end and now I don't have the codes and my email has not been answered. Nice customer service.

I found it. It's completely different. It's still a series of islands, which is similar, and a small handful of major landmarks seem to be in roughly the same place, but it's clear just from looking at that map there's no way in which knowing the Liberty City from GTA3 would help you know the layout of GTA4. At all.
Also, it's at least an order of magnitude bigger and more detailed.

Fuck. That blows.
ETA: I was going to ask if you got the codes, so I could install one on my end and start poking at it.

Yeah. I mean I'm sure they'll take care of it, and it may be a timezone issue since Smiteworks is based in Finland, but dammit, they have my money and I have no product and you can't even run the installer without the code.

That's my suspicion.
I'm guessing these are FG 2.0 licenses, yes? 2.0 has been the main offering for at least a year, I think.
