I’m using a Canon 80D with several Flashpoint/Godox 2.4GHz TTL products, including an R2/X1T-C transmitter, V860II-C/Zoom Li-on R2 flashes, and an AD600/XPLOR 600 TTL. In wireless E-TTL, exposures are badly overexposed as if the flashes are firing near full power. Manual wireless triggering works, and on-camera or optical E-TTL also works, so the problem seems specific to wireless 2.4GHz E-TTL on the 80D. Is this a known compatibility issue, and is there a fix?

As of September 6th, 2017, all TTL functions are working as expected with the latest firmware updates. I've tested the TTL functionalities on both the 80D and the M5. You can download the latest firmwares here: http://www.godox.com/EN/Download.html.

Yes — based on the reported experience, Godox/Flashpoint 2.4GHz wireless E-TTL can work properly with the Canon 80D, but it depends on using the latest firmware.
The overexposure issue was resolved by updating firmware. The community report says that, as of Sept. 6, 2017, all TTL functions were working as expected on both the Canon 80D and EOS M5 after installing the latest Godox firmware.
So if wireless TTL is overexposing on your 80D, the first step is to update the transmitter and flash firmware from Godox/Flashpoint’s download page. Earlier firmware versions appear to have caused incorrect TTL exposure behavior on newer Canon bodies.
In short: this is not an inherent 80D incompatibility; it was a firmware issue, and updating should restore normal wireless E-TTL operation.
