I’m also getting massive lag while no video plays. Trying to play MKV files, they were fine with july version… Raspi 3 with latest osmc version. How to downgrade?

There is no downgrade path (other than installation of a previous version)
So the path forward is to fix any problems that may exists. If you want that to happen follow the instructions that @ActionA posted
