Made my step to R8.1 too.i have 0 problems, did you use update or a full install of 8.1 ?
I downloaded 8.1 from ScrewThisNoises webpage and i used the mega links for full install
This is exactly how i upgrade EVERY time
In 8 run init settings update
Have a clean untouched FULL install of 8.1 & your fully init settings updated version of 8
in 8.1 i DELETE mods and userdata folders, then i copy/paste my userdata and mods folders from 8
Next I copy and paste my presets and cubemaps folders into 8.1 (I use graphics mode so these are needed), I also add any new optional plugins im interested in VNGE, VR etc
Then i run init settings - setting my preferences on 8.1
Then i run init settings UPDATE (it wont be big because i had 8 fully up to date.) Update will detect missing mods from 8.1 and redownload them if needed
Now start the game & hit f1 then plugin settings and double check if my plugin settings for presets and cubemaps & localization paths are correct ( in Graphics 0.5.2 - double check file paths and make sure everything looks right) Run reg fixer if needed (in hs2 main directoy)
And your done
PS I never use upgrade from previous versions, as i have had problems in the past.
Also as always full new install and then following your instructions to transfer my old setting and final update.
And kept my complete previous R8 as Backup for unexpected emergencies
Running perfect for first trials
Thanks ScrewThisNoise and Sykosis!
