I would say that a couple of us have had the issue, but there's no guarantee. Be prepared to revert to b7 if you need it, or wait an iteration.
Got a tip for us?

Not really a big deal, in fact, plan on taking off the Office 365 and use iWork or load Office 2019.
I’m shocked cs6 still worked that long, ya can always crack a newer version of you’re that against subscriptions
CS6 still works on Mojave for some, but not all and there do tend to be a few glitches. The real difficulty may come if you need to reinstall and encounter difficulty registering. Adobe provides some guidance, however there seem to be glitches that prevent completion. This is one of those situations where sooner or later you will likely be compelled to use Affinity Photo or some alternative if you really don't want to go the subscription route.
Downloaded and installed the new Monterey beta, on 09/29/2021. Now, the external monitor will not connect. Have MB Pro late 2016.
I run CS6 in an El Capitan VM. (Ironically, using an old version of Parallels that needs updating.) Works fine when I need it.
Otherwise, I've migrated to Affinity Designer, Photo and Publisher. Each one is about £50 to purchase out-right.
Yes, not the same day, but it was generally within a week until Catalina. Sure beats waiting two months like we did for Big Sur.
I had similar issues with my Mac Pro (Late 2013) and Beta 8. It turns out that video via the Thunderbolt 2 ports (all of them, no matter what cable combination) quit working. Video via HDMI continues to work though. Maybe give that a try?
Big Sur was released about two weeks after the first public beta. I hope we'll have initial Monterey release in mid-October together with new Macs.
HDMI doesn‘t work, either, in my case. Beta 8 detects the Thunderbolt Display (with the required adapter) but not the LG monitor, whichever input I may try.
Just updated, and my second display is no longer recognised. Gotta love betas....
Downgrading to Beta 6 now. Trying to fix the broken Beta 7 full installer gave me the "corrupted installer" error message.
Can you downgrade beta's ? Or do you restore and then reinstall the beta ?
I just installed Beta 6 via full installer over Beta 8. Now everything runs again and both monitors are detected.
Beta 7 full installer seems to be corrupted indeed. When running de beta 6 installer (InstallAssistant.pkg), it finishes in seconds and seems to install little to none. Also reboot will not initiate install of beta 6.
Any hints ?
The downloaded installer for Beta 7 was indeed screwed up, and you need to update the Beta 7 installer as per the directions in post 20:
Make a Monterey Bootable USB installer!
You can make a Monterey bootable USB installer by first formatting a 16GB or 32GB usb as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and naming it Untitled. After downloading the Monterey Beta 1 installer (which so far is nameless, even though we now know it has the name Monterey) you can run this in Terminal...

Up and running on Beta 8. No problems but the main problem I had was links not working with Firefox as my default browser. I will get around to trying it out once I set up the system.
so you where booted into beta 8, downloaded beta 6 & just ran it from beta 8 or did you boot into something else first and run the beta 6 installer from that other system or did you make an install usb stick?
I downloaded beta 7 and it completed in 2 seconds, a reboot & I was still in beta 8. I then downloaded beta 6 and the same thing happened.
InstallAssistant beta 6 & 7 said they would take ~35 MB of space despite the InstallAssistants being over 11.6GB.
In Beta 8, I just ran the Beta 6 full installer. It worked as intended and I was in Beta 6.

Where did you download it from ? Maybe i am downloading from the wrong resource.
I Used InstallAssistant.pkg
Look in Applications folder, an installer app can be found there after running the installAssistant.pkg
