i tried my best ,but today i reverted back to 8.1 2857 from 8.2 build 3311
nothing really serious ,the performance was stellar ( no shut down or anything else) BUT the little things are what made me do it :
-the random audio dropouts when loading a song on the opposite deck,
-the shaky wave forms,-
-the weird refreshing of the browser ,
-the higher cpu use and
-some really weird behavior from my controller (ddj sx) like 2 days ago on deck 1 while a song was playing the jog wheel was stuck in search mode -i would even touch it a little and the track would advance a lot (even when the track was playing) ,when it was supposed to pitch bend or move the track a little when the deck was not playing-.when i shut down vdj and restarted it at the end of the night , it was normal again.
of course until the end of the gig i used deck 3 instead of deck 1 and all was good....
in 8.1 i never had the smallest problem with any of it.
so after reverting ,all of these little issues are gone..
so stability & peace of mind comes first , and when these little glitches are ironed out i will try it again.
i cant have any doubts or fear that something will happen during my gig,in all the previous versions my trust for vdj is 150 %
just to be clear : the same laptop with the same specs ( nothing changed) ran with out any issues vdj 7-vdj 8-and vdj 8.1
its an audio optimized laptop i3 -6 gb ram -dedicated 2 gb video card & intel hd graphics card-no internet at any time and windows 7 ( i may have missed a few windows updates in the past year but i dont think that this could be the reason.)
the laptop has and is performing in any gig without any issues (and some of the gigs are more then 16 hours long)
in the summer the fan may work a little more but my cpu usage is never more than 25 % ,usually it is at the 7-15 % .
only when analyzing a track it goes up to 45-50 %

i just installed 8.1 again and all is good
when you first install 8.1 it removes 8.2,and then again run the installer of 8.1 and voila !

Wow my problem exactly! In the past two weeks there has been at least 3 updates and after my bad gig experience Saturday with sound drop outs and songs hesitating to play also beat grids not lined up.Disaster. I come home hook everything up guess what another software update. I start playing music perfect no problems.If it ain't broke don't update
leave it alone.
leave it alone.

Not a bad statement, but not ideal either. The updates are issued because they do fix things.
Maybe it's nothing you've run into (yet) but each update does tell you what's been changed.
A better idea is to update when you have enough time to check and make sure it all works to your satisfaction - not just before a gig.
Also, you can always go back a version if required. Keep copies of previous versions on your hard drive, so you're not relying on an internet connection which may not be there when you need it.

I had the same problems last night Djing it was a nightmare.
Sound drop outs limiter at max CPUs on max and it froze.
Back to 8.1 I think.

No it shouldn't as long as you don't allow VDJ to delete all files.
There is a popup with a question in the uninstall routine (I don't remember the exact words) something like:
Do you want to remove all files from your system?
Something like that.
Answere these question with "No" and all your history, databases, playlists etc. should remain on your system.
The database.xml files are holding all informations about Cues, Gain, Tags ...
