ooh I clicked on the info at the bottom of the window that said 3D not available, which offered a link about system requirements, which was unhelpful (I'm on latest chrome and Win10) but when I clicked the link from there to Maps - I have the 3D button back! Woohoo :)
Edit: however this only seems to work using that link, if I go straight to maps in another window, it doesn't work :/
Edit2: It seems to be as simple as - http://www.google.co.uk/maps/ or maps.google.co.uk leads to low-res, no 3D. Using http://www.google.com/maps/ or maps.google.com leads to 3D high-res joy. Is this a Brexit thing?

I get 3D using either of those links. Haven't noticed any loss in quality recently either.
I never use the 3D button, zooming in and changing angle with ctrl+LMB always does the trick.

Ah, posted before seeing this.

Might've discovered something.
Wanted to check a link I'd copied worked as expected, so pasted it into an incognito Chrome window and there was no 3D. As soon as I signed in, 3D was there. Tried Edge and saw the same thing.
Could you have been signed in to google.com but not .co.uk?

Google Maps sometimes switches into a lite mode if you don't have enough computrones or something. There is sometimes a link in a bottom corner to go back to full mode. Do you have anything like that?
