I guess the ESC key and Arrow key problems resulted from the notification about removing the Myst V ages. After I exited and reentered DI the problem vanished. Usually problems like that never go away and I had a similar problem in my standalone URU CC.
I successfully converted the Myst V ages with Drizzle 2.9 and they work fine (so far) with Deep Island. Next I will try installing the Myst 5/CT Improvements.
I'm glad 2.9 has improved age stability. With my standalone URU CC and Drizzle 2.7 I experienced game crashes while exploring the Myst V. Hoping that will now be a thing of the past.
Thank you for all of your efforts to keep DI up and running.
