The cracks came back because you used mesh tape. It never lasts for long. You should screw the ceiling up around the crack prior to the fix. cut away all loose material and v out the mesh tape. Then re tape with paper tape using all purpose mud. Then finish. Also push on the ceiling and see if any other spots could use a screw or two.
