[Tex/LaTex] Bent arrows in tikz

arrowstikz-arrowstikz-pgftikz-styles

I want to create a graphical model (a bit like a Bayesian network) in which some of the arrows are bent. I am using the tikz package.

This is the code:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tkz-graph}  
\usetikzlibrary{bayesnet}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}
\usetikzlibrary{trees}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
\tikzset{>={Latex[width=3mm,length=3mm]}}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\tikz{ %
\node[obs] (C) {C} ; %
\node[obs, right=of C] (M1) {M1} ; %
\node[obs, right=of M1] (M2) {M2} ; %
\node[obs, right=of M2] (E) {E} ; %
\node[ellipse, latent, above=1.5] (Mechanism) {Mechanism} ; %
\edge {C} {M1} ; %
\edge {M1} {M2} ; %
\edge {M2} {E} ; %
\edge[dashed, bend right] {Mechanism} {C}
\edge[dashed, bend right] {Mechanism} {M1}
\edge[dashed, bend left] {Mechanism} {M2}
\edge[dashed, bend left] {Mechanism} {E}
 } 
\tikz{ %
\node[obs] (C) {C} ; %
\node[obs, right=of C, yshift=1.25cm] (E1) {E1} ; %
\node[obs, right=of C] (E2) {E2} ; %
\node[obs, right=of C, yshift=-1.25cm] (E3) {E3} ; %
\node[ellipse, latent, above=1.5] (Mechanism) {Mechanism} ; %
\edge {C} {E1} ; %
\edge {C} {E2} ; %
\edge {C} {E3} ; %
\edge[dashed, bend right] {Mechanism} {C} ;%
\edge[dashed, bend left] {Mechanism} {E1} ;%
\edge[dashed, bend right] {Mechanism} {E2} ;%
\edge[dashed, out = 200, in = 270] {Mechanism} {E3} ;
 } 
 \tikz{ %
\node[obs] (E) {E} ; %
\node[obs, left=of E, yshift=1.25cm] (C1) {C1} ; %
\node[obs, left=of E] (C2) {C2} ; %
\node[obs, left=of E, yshift=-1.25cm] (C3) {C3} ; %
\node[ellipse, latent, above=1.5] (Mechanism) {Mechanism} ; %
\edge {C1} {E} ; %
\edge {C2} {E} ; %
\edge {C3} {E} ; %
\edge[dashed, bend right] {Mechanism} {C1} ;%
\edge[dashed, bend left] {Mechanism} {C2} ;%
\edge[dashed, out = 180, in =180] {Mechanism} {C3} ;%
\edge[dashed, bend left] {Mechanism} {E} ;
}
 \caption{blah}
 \label{fig:mechanism}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

This code had previously generated something that looked like this:

what I want it to look like

However I recently upgraded to my LaTeX editor (Texpad) and now for some reason the bent dashed edges are straight:

not how I want it to look

Would anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

The problem comes frome the syntax :
