Movie Edit Pro 15 plus patch problem - editor unusable?

I just installed the Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus patch, and then found that it made my project unusable. Every time I press 'play' there is a large pause (with some sort of progress bar at the bottom), and then it will only play with 'stutters' in both audio and video - sometime the the video refresh is also very slow.

I should explain that I am editing with multiple very large raw DV files, as I am mixing down a 4-camera recording of a play. I have been using various versions of MEP for many years now, and have never had any issues doing this previously - even MEP15 was fine before the patch.

It is totally unusable like this - so I have uninstalled MEP and then put it back in without the patch: now working fine.

What is wrong with the patch? I am concerned that I can now not take any advantage of any other improvements or fixes that might be made.
Addition on 2009-11-24 at 10:43 pm:
Only patch on the website I can find is 8.1.6.0, which is what caused my problems - up until then (and now, since I have started again and reinstalled from CD) I was using the 'as supplied on CD' version which is 8.0.5.8

The installation process for the patch was fine, no problems - it was it's effect on the program after that which was unnacceptable. Something about the behaviour makes me think my problems are a side-effect of a deliberate change to how MEP does the preview (some sort of buffering?).

What is your version no.? The newest update for MEP15 is 8.6.1.2.
It is recommended to turn off the virus program during installation and after that reset your program to standard.

We have this problem as well.  We have been able to get our projects to work by creating a new directory, new project and then copying all the media into the project.

I'm getting the same problem. No problem with MEP15 until I allow the update. After the update I can load files into the timeline. If a single video plus soundtrack is played it is fine but as soon as I require the program to use an additional track the playback is stuttered and all program controls AND the computer become inoperative. My only solution is to do a hard restart.  I reinstalled MEP15 thinking that some other software had corrupted it and it worked fine until again I allowed the recommended update and now it is unusable again.
I have always had good results with MEP2005, MEP12 and now with MEP15 but if Magix don't sort this I will be buying elsewhere in future.
