Hello to you, My myst V game won't run under Windows 10, though it did run properly under Windows XP service pack 3, but I don't think it is a compatibility issue. Is there some way I can attach here a screenshot window I receive while attempting to run a Myst V? Is this perhaps a Direct X issue, since I remember while attempting to install a Direct X 9 for Windows 10 the installation has failed.

As far as I know you can visit thedifferent ages in any order you like. However, let's start with the Age Eshertold you to start with, calledTaghira.

Taghira

Myst V: End of Ages is, true to its name, ostensibly the final game in the Myst series. That said, the game is mostly composed of unused Uru concepts. Cyan had ended up in a bad place financially following the shutdown of Uru Live and disappointing sales of the single-player version, and so development of Myst V was rushed.

• 2Unused Graphics

Unused Urwin

At some point in development, an urwin (a creature later appearing in Uru Live) was going to be present in Direbo. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, it was never fully implemented before the game was released.

Amongst the textures for Direbo is the urwin texture used in Negilahn in Uru Live. The dat folder also contains an urwin model (Direbo_drboUrwinShape.prp) and associated idle and walking animations (Direbo_UrwinIdle.prp and Direbo_UrwinWalk.prp). There is also unfinished code for spawning the urwin (drboUrwin.py), haphazardly copied and pasted from the code for spawning Bahros.

Unused Graphics

Descent

ahnybuttonglow2*0#0.hsm
Present in the textures for Descent is this texture from Uru. It isn't used in this game.

manyassortedbooks*0#0.hsm
Also in the Descent texture file is this texture, showing, as per its name, many assorted books. It too goes unused, though this texture does not appear to be from Uru.

Noloben

• srln_pelican*0#0.hsm

• srln_pelican_greenhead*0#0.hsm

The textures for the pelicans contain a fair amount of unseen content.

Laki'ahn

A version of the flag on Fighter Beach with the symbol outlined. A certain prerelease screenshot in the game's Prima Official Game Guide shows this version being used instead of the basic version.

Multiple

xpedestalcarvings*0#0.hsm
A prototype slate pedestal is present in the texture files of Direbo and Noloben.

A prerelease screenshot exists showing the prototype pedestal being used in Todelmer.

xcheckers*0#0.hsm
This texture is present in the texture files of Noloben, Laki'ahn, and Myst Island.

GUI

xeditablejournalcover*1#0.hsm
The texture used for the editable journal in Uru. The player journal in Myst V uses a different texture (which also later appeared in Uru Live in its originally intended context).

xbookcoverdefault*0#0.hsm
When viewing a book, this texture would be used as the default cover if no other texture was specified. This can't occur in the game.

xplayerguicomponents*40#0.hsm (partially unused)
The '>chat' icon is left over from Uru Live, and is unsurprisingly not used in Myst V.

xavatarcustomguielements_eng*860#0.hsm
Parts of the avatar customisation GUI from Uru still remain in this game, despite the fact that this game does not have avatar customisation. Additionally, an early logo for the game can be seen, from when the project's working name was Sasquatch.

xoptionsguicomponents*40#0.hsm
The textures used for Uru‍ '​s in-game menu are still present in this game, though unused.

Unused Dialogue

glblEsher-AfterSlate_eng

A Slate has been placed, and because of that a link is created. Use it!

An unused Esher line. The 'glbl' indicates that there are multiple Ages that the sound could have played in. Radiant defense reviews. There is a corresponding video (right) for Esher's face while saying the line, though there is no associated animation data for Esher's model. There are also no corresponding subtitles for this line, in any language. Trivia: Cyan quoted this line on their website.

There are also corresponding French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish translations of the line (though no Italian or Polish):

glblEsher-AfterSlate_fre

Une Ardoise a été mise en place, par conséquent une liaison a été établie. Utilise laǃ

glblEsher-AfterSlate_ger

Eine Steinplatte wurde platziert und dadurch ist eine Verbindung entstanden. Benutze sieǃ

glblEsher-AfterSlate_jpn

スレートが収まった、その結果接続が確立した。使うがいい。

glblEsher-AfterSlate_rus

Плита возложена на пьедестал, и теперь портал открыт. Воспользуйся им.

glblEsher-AfterSlate_spa

Se ha colocado una pizarra, y debido a ello se ha creado la conexión. ¡Utilizala!

Unused 25th Anniversary Icon

As with the other games that received updates for Myst‍ '​s 25th anniversary (with the exception of realMyst: Masterpiece Edition), the game's Myst 25th Anniversary Update added an unused '.ico' file in the main directory, named EndOfAges.ico. Like the unused icons in the other games, this icon file is actually just a renamed PNG file, not an ICO file. Additionally, like the Uru: Complete Chronicles icon, this image is 255x256.
