I did this, and there is a looooong loading screen. I assume this is because its loading the entire city.
Sure, it's a big map. But it should be the same as for the previous test maps.

I start in my apartment. The guard says "oh its just you" then I go out in front of my apartment and there is no portal out.
If there's no portal between Garrett's apartment building and South Quarter, then you're in the merged map. (Also, there'll be a "welcome home" message on start-up.)

However every gate has bars and its on the "sell the Blood Opal" mission. I tried selling talking to the fence and running past the guards but there are portals, not a merged city.
There's still a portal to Stonemarket but it's instantaneous - no map is loaded. The gate to Docks is shut for the first half or so of the game.

I've updated the file on Mod DB after verifying it with AngelLoader.

Moving to Linux is understandable but for any gaming project you should make all releases Windows 11 compatible as according to the latest stats only 3% of gamers are on Linux greatly limiting your test pool.
Of course - and I did test before release but with FMSel, which handled that first 7zip file just fine. But AngelLoader is probably what most players use so I'll do an install test with that from now on.
I do have a hand-me-down Win11 laptop but it'll only be used for testing.

I played the test map up till the keepers headquarters, couldn't CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+END past it.
How far do you need to go to unlock everything?

Hmm, it ought to work. I'll have a look...

Its possible my MSI Afterburner interfered. When I say unlock everything I mean the city. How far do you have to go in the story to have nothing in the city blocked by bars

Once testing is done, is the plan to make the merged map one of the optional components of the T3Gold package?

If you're at the Keeper Compound mission then the gates (to Docks and Old Quarter) should already be unlocked.

Depending on the quality either the merged map will be an option, or it will be the default with an unmerged City option.

Can you believe a new Thief game is releasing tomorrow? Crazy.
Anyway, tested the map some more. I ran from the Keeper Compound to Southquarter. I saved right before going there. I hit quicksave right in front of Garrets apartment and CTD, so I reloaded and ran back, was going around the corner to the entrance to the Docks. Pressed quicksave again and it closed again.
Think I ran into 2 clones in Stonemarket Plaza but I could be wrong, they could be part of the story.
Ran from one end of the Keeper Compound all the way to the end of the Docks with no issues, just some FPS drops here and there.

I went on the Abyssal Gale, tried CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+END............mission didn't end. So I used SneakyTweaker and set the mission end button to DEL. Didn't work.
Could AngelLoadedrinterfere with the mission end button?

I hope there'll be a non-VR mod eventually.

Hmm, that's disconcerting. Do you still have the save from before the crashes?

There'll be clones even in the original game but I think it's still a bit more likely to see them in this map.

You can't end the Abysmal Gale like that because it's not a mission - it's a part of the City. All the proper missions will immediately show the "do you want to end?" pop-up (expecting you to click Yes).
