High Sierra 10.13.2 Broke Sleep
- Thread starter OEMPT

- Sort by reaction score
My 2010 with a flashed AMD Radeon HD 7950 (2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeons) is also having the sleep issue in 10.13.2.
It will go to sleep but fans will come on and then a force restart is needed.
I tried the normal...no device attached, PRAM reset, etc... Only noticed this after 10.13.2.

Switched an "upgraded 3,1" to an Apple ATI 4870 and that fixed the issue on that one - sort of.
You can force sleep the system and it will wake ok. But no automatic sleep after no use.

Popped in the ol' RX 460 back in the MP after updating to 10.13.3 and...
no go!
Broken sleep introduced in 10.13.2 is the same in 10.13.3 with my RX 460...
oh, well...

Yep.
Disappointment 10.13.3
Although, I'm sure there are some who are not disappointed about their messages being listed in order, now.
Unplugged my USB3 stuff from the Inateck 4 Port USB 3 card and back on the FASTA cards.
No more sleep problem.
And it looks like with the final 10.13.3 release today it is going to sleep on its own!
Not using APFS on the boot drive plugged into the FASTA eSata seems to have cured my crashes caused, when there also were USB 3 devices on the card.
Keepin' fingers crossed!
If this is stable, I guess I will pull that Inateck card. Less is always more!

i'm confused by your post in the last week about sleep working. are you using a Polaris GPU in a Mac Pro with 10.13.3 and sleep works for you without kext edits or anything?
This is a 7970 GHz edition running on 10.13.3.
Sleep seems ok, it does not always trigger, when it should. But I can do it via menu and it works fine.
Wakeup garbles the screen for a moment, but I am ok with that.

I tired changing the port numbers in the 10.13.3 9500 kext plist file, this had previously fixed the sleep issue for me in 10.3.2 and the supplemental update, unfortunately it didn't work for me this time.
I updated to 10.13.4 Beta 1. Sleep is working perfectly again without any kext/plist edits. My mac is also reporting my graphics card as an Rx 580. All is right with the world again.

I had issues with screensaver on MacPro 5,1 with NVIDIA GPUs when it was set to automatically turn on. Disabled the screensaver auto-start and fixed those issues. Set screensaver to a hot corner and it's fine when manually engaged. Display set to turn off after XX minutes and no further issues.
I can also report that the 10.13.14 beta 1 (build 17E139j) made my Gigabyte RX460 4 GB work again 
On 10.13.4 my Sapphire RX480 8GB is correctly identified and audio output is working.
How about 'Non Sapphire' RX580 GPUs? Do they get identified correctly after the 10.13.4 update? I have a MSI RX580 8G (Reference gpu) in my cMP and waiting for this issue to get solved before HighSierra upgrade.
Did the 10.3.3 update. Sleep broke. Did the AMD kext hack again (update had, er, updated it), and sleep is restored. Hopefully the last time I'll have to do it.
I'm having a similar issue but want to make sure it's the same: my computer does not always wake from sleep, but during that time I also cannot remote or SSH into it either, which makes me think it's not GPU or kext but I haven't found a forum describing this issue exactly. Is that similar to your issue?
It works for all RX 580's I belive. I have a MSI RX 580 GamingX in mine.
Thanks for the reply, is the 'sleep' function working normally with the 10.13.4 update?
