In your ACP change from ImageMagic to GD for image processing.
ACP -> Attachments -> Default Image Processor.

It's true 8.1 isn't officially supported. But FYI, I am running 8.1 for months now on a big board without any issues.

And some people swallow swords that are on fire.
Pushing the envelope is rarely suggested if a site is targeted at always being available. It's more an indicator of the admin's desire to be "on the cutting edge" instead of being firmly on the base of "reliability". Typically when the crap hits the fan and the site quits working because they were on that edge and they are now bleeding to death, they are the ones that yell the loudest. 🤷♂️

Not looking to be on the cutting edge, looking for the fastest forum my hardware can serve.

The Definitive PHP 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, and 8.1 Benchmarks (2022)
We tested the performance of 14 PHP platforms (WordPress, Drupal, Laravel) on 5 PHP versions (7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1). And PHP 8.1 won!

Sorry to burst your bubble.. but if you are running a non-supported version of PHP on a script... you ARE on the cutting edge. It's apparent that stability is one of your lesser concerns. There is NO getting around that.

Really... is that why certain developers and support have been VERY concise that 8.1 was not a supported version under the 2.2.1x script?
There are a WEALTH of posts here that are directly related to 8.1 and issues it has with the current version of XF... and MANY of them posted in the bug fix area.
Like I said, last I looked, XF developers did NOT recommend you run 8.1 as it was "cutting edge" and the current version of XF was not "certified" for PHP 8.1 compatibility... but you do you and enjoy living on that cutting edge. Will it run.. yep... will it have issues that will crop up, yep, as proven by the bug fix entries.
Realize.. we aren't talking the "cutting edge" of PHP having been out a while.. but the cutting edge of the fact that it has not been reliably & extensively TESTED against the current versions of the script. That's generally referred to either ALPHA or BETA testing.. and has not been (at least since my OS/2 2.1 days) been recommended as a position of stability - and I BETA'd MANY an OS/2 app related to FidoNet back then (actually ran 2.0 for a while until 2.1 came out, and prior to that DESQview for a multi-node BBS).

Thanks, just had a look and it's already set to GD.
The main issue seems to be large zip files via the Resource Manager.

Have you checked your PHP upload/post settings?

I've turned off FastCGI and it's allowing me to upload again. Whether it will work for the people that had the same issue before, who knows!
Am I losing much by having FastCGI turned off?
Would it be worth considering using nginx instead of apache?
I only have two sites - One is just a general forum, the second is where people upload large files.
