wow i can see acceleration works on 320m. is it possible also for 330m?Hey, sorry for the slow response. I am mostly active on Unsupported Macs Discord these days and don't check MR as often as I should...
I'm currently relying on the OCLP developers for distribution of the patches, as well as kernel-level support and testing for GPUs that I don't own (i.e. non-Tesla). However, my fixes can certainly be bundled in other tools in future. I'm planning to fully open-source them and release standalone binaries (as I did last year) in a bit, once I cleanup my code and fix several issues.
Also, the OCLP beta fixes are actually public as of yesterday/today!
Edit: here is a screenshot from my 2010 MacBook, just for fun

It is coming along well, but still lots of work left to do.
Edit 2: it was also discussed on Discord that dosdude1 may write a GUI for OCLP.
Is your target disk on USB, do you use OCLP, which version? And on which machine?
There were a few reports regarding hangs during installation and during booting, and I also have them.

Search
Search back the last few pages: Booting NVME broke with 11.3 for unknown reasons. Go back to 11.2.3 or use another disk to install macOS Big Sur.
It is very interesting that cMP3,1 with Highpoint 7101 has no issues with the betas:

fresh install, absolutely no trouble at all. thnx!
Success! (With the “new” beta)
MBP 8,2, BigSur 11.2.3, OCLP 0.1.1 beta
A little graphic bug here and there but, hey! It’s working!
Keyboard backlight is not working, and I don’t have backlight control. (I have a Tiresias installed, so I thought it’s going to work, because it controls directly the PWM signal to backlight, a problem with the kext maybe?)

Here's a collection of all the InstallAssistant links for 11.4 beta 1:
macOS Installer - 11.4 beta 1 build 20F5046g:
Developer beta link, round 1:http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/20/48/071-29407-A_OXMA3CJJ4K/w59cmy5r1v4uvptoqys1u80iwy7w1w5o82/InstallAssistant.pkg Dead
Public beta link, round 1: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...b0gyklnt56kifwfc1zknzr7w/InstallAssistant.pkg Probably dead soon (was removed from catalogs)
Developer beta link, round 2 (today's readdition to the catalog): http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...64pdkk9h5z118v2wwovaulu9/InstallAssistant.pkg
Public beta link, round 2: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...zayi15tcmvdshvdx4gn5px89/InstallAssistant.pkg
Note: all the links are the exact same (I did check using the integrity data, however, and not an actual checksum). No clue why Apple consistently uses separate links for developer and public beta for some reason, and even more baffling why they would remove it only to readd it the next day if it's the exact same.

I DON’T recommend to anyone install BigSur right now with a non metal GPU. It’s only to test the patches.
And DO NOT INSTALL THIS AS YOUR MAIN SYSTEM, it’s buggy, a lot of errors and more.
Only for testing and in another partition/external drive
Big Sur 11.4 beta 1; latest url:
here's the second url posted by Apple late afternoon (Cupertino California USA) 2021/04/22:

1. macOS Big Sur Beta 11.4 (20F5046g) - 071-29407 - Added 2021-04-22 17:22:10
Same build as before; haven't looked at checksums, but appears safe to install now since it appears in all sucatalogs I checked.
Okay, I just verified both files have identical SHA1 checksum values!

Do an SMC reset and check if your BT card came back to live. This has IMHO nothing to do with Big Sur or OCLP - there are simply too many other users running your type hardware without any problems. Since you did not wrote which installation method you used I can only assume it was OCLP.
Would be nice if you could be more precise with your issue descriptions. No one owns a really working glass ball here. And with the glass balls there is no such thing like an SMC reset
