Problems with FW 1.8.1 on the R5

[RedCobra]

Anyone having issues with FW 1.8.1 on the R5?
On some forums I am seeing comments like this:

"yes af is slower inc tracking and not as accurate have downgraded back too 1.7"

"I thought my new 135 was very poor, or faulty, but I’ve experienced this issue before. So I decided to downgrade firmware and it worked great again"

"My EF lens seems to be struggling to focus after the upgrade."

I personally have not upgraded my 2 R5s.

I've updated one of my R5's so far. Not noticed any issues whatsoever. Still the best camera on the market (apart from my R3)

I've not noticed any issues in casual shooting, but I've yet to take a closer look.

Nothing wrong here, working the same as it did under 1.7.

No problems for me with R5 and 1.8.1. If anything, tracking of objects seems a tad better when in face tracking mode.

I have it and no problems at all.

Any problem can be found if you are expecting to find it....whether it exists or not.

No issues for me after a few hundred frames using 1.81.

I've updated and not found any issues as yet. Won't be using the hi-res but just keeping camera up to date.
