Anyone who has yet to update using the 'Preview for Developers' program - get on board! The changes in 8.1 are fantastic!

Just a note - it's big update and will take 2 update checks, a number of reboots and around 45-60 mins of your time (at least on my 920).

I have just updated my phone and the changes are great.

is everyone compiling successfully in 8.1?
I'm getting very strange errors like resources aren't loaded.
They are all in the Asset folder, but lines like..
		buf = DataBuffer.Load("monkey://data/"+file)

		img = LoadImage(file,w,h,frames)

are crashing. They should be returning NULL if not found, these are just crashing the app.

Same problem as pantsonhead, here. Trying to run any project on winrt platform spits out errors to do with images.

I'm up and about now so will fire up my project and post a bug report. Apologies if it turns out not to be a bug with Monkey but rather Frameworks or other 3rd party modules.
