dosdude1 1.3.3 copy for MacPro5,1?

[applCore]

Looks like MacPro5,1 is doing great with @dosdude1's 1.3.3 patcher, but he took it offline at: http://dosdude1.com/catalina/archive/

Does anyone have a backup copy or a copy in your Downloads folder that you can share for those of us who aren't susceptible to the problems such as on a MacPro5,1 with a Metal 2 GPU?

I'd like to use this Saturday to build a new update USB to upgrade from 10.15.3 to 10.15.4, but it looks like I need that copy to make this work right from reading others' experiences on MacPro5,1 systems.

Use 1.3.1, it's on my GitHub releases page: https://github.com/dosdude1/macos-catalina-patcher/releases

Thanks so much. Any thoughts on installation with a non-EFI graphics video card such as a VEGA 64 that won't facilitate option booting to select the flash drive? It would be nice to not have to put in an old video card on each update...

@dosdude1 - any thought on that?

So good news MacPro5,1 updated without the need of a USB run of the installer, just a straight patch onto my existing 10.15.3 system. One problem I'm having though is that iMessage won't activate now it seems.

UPDATE: cmd-opt-p-r NVRAM reset resolved that. All working right now it seems.
