No that feature should still be there in v3.85. Can you confirm in your host -> module definitions for the product detail module that the "Supports Partial Rendering" box is checked?

Scott:

There's an exception being thrown when I try to select a different variant. I've seen it "most" if not all of the times I try to change variant on color. Here it is:

Did the data model change from 3.8.1 to 3.8.5?

Scott:

Do you have a full-time tester on staff? Gotta ask. Might be something to think about.

I removed all the product, category and variant data. I loaded it back up again. Same problem.
Next I went into the Variants section of your UI and did a resave as you suggested. We are still seeing the same exception as posted earlier in the thread. Looks like you have a bug in your ddl_SelectionChangedEvent member function.

This is a mainstream use case. Buyers have to be able to select a color. I've done enough testing for you. Can you check it on your side now?

FYI. I had to uninstall SmithCart, remove all remnants of its database objects (this is best done with a stored procedure to remove the objects prefixed with "Smith_"), reinstall 3.86 and reload the product and variant information. Second time for this reinstall on this project.
