Hi- I've recently start playing Myst V, and so far I'm not as disappointed as some 'posts' led me to believe I might be. However, in exploring K'veer after solving one puzzle I decided I might have missed something and opened up a previously saved game (the first time I have done this). Without giving too much away I had returned to the central pedestal, but the level of the floor was now different to when I had left it and I was now further into the game than when I had left it. Is this an occurrence others are experiencing?

Yes Dave, you are not alone. I was well into the game, returning to K'veer for reasons that will eventually appear to you. I was thoroughly exploring every nook and cranny, including floor movement, but wasn't getting anywhere, so I quite for the night. When I opened the game, there I was, in a new spot, looking right at what I had been looking for. Truthfully, I was happy to have found it and rationalized that I had indeed found it the night before, and the game was "correcting" itself, some bug, by having it appear when I resumed play, but who knows. There are ALOT of peculiarities with this game, a few I have posted along the way. Good luck!
