macOS 12 Monterey on Unsupported Macs Thread

Status

hey guys, testing my 2012 macbook air, it is working much better by disabling some features that are enabled by default in OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.4.1, would it be possible in a future update to remove these items that are enabled?

Still need to adjust the artifacts on the edges of the Dock and Widgets, but nothing that gets in the way of day-to-day use.

Ok - i wrote, that failed update with 0.4.1 (not beta) - other questions? And i know that 12.3 has a new kernel 21.4.0. My configuration without problem works with 12.2RC and 11.6.3RC. If penryn based Mini 3.1 works - on 4.2NB, maybe same gen CPU based CMP 3.1 should work to?

I see, thank you.

OK. Here are three sources of problem possible: your configuration, imperfection of macOS beta and imperfection of OCLP. Why believe that OCLP nightly build (which is beta, too) will lead to problem's solution, not its multiplication?

OCLP_041 is not Beta. ;)

Meh. I'm an abstract expressionist personally. I liked Big Sur and Monterey's move away from photographs, a move which really peed-off a lot of representational art fans. The pendulum will no doubt swing back at some point.

No need to reply though, let's keep this thread on topic.

Thanks a lot to the people involved in making this possible! As an end-user the patching progress was easier than I expected.

Funny thing is that my 2019 MBP has to stay on Catalina for work-related reasons while my decade old Air now supports AirPods auto-switching :D

Hi guys,

I’m having trouble installing the post-install patches. 1 thing I am certain of (because it’s visible) is that I can’t get the beta blur to work wile it dit work on 12.1.
The other thing that makes me think they’re not installed is that control centre takes a few seconds to open instead of quite instantly in 12.1.
But there’s always the chance my system ‘s showing it’s age more on 12.2.

I tried reinstalling OCLP (0.4.1) multiple times and installing the patches multiple times (with rebooting in between). Every time the patches should be installed the fans start spinning away and sleep by shutting the lid doesn’t work anymore.
I’ve tried resetting smc and resetting nvram. I’m using the offline version because of the wifi-issue.

What’s the next step? Fresh install?

Thanks!

12.2 (21D49) ran perfectly on my MBP4,1 Early 2008, while 12.3b seemed significantly slower. However, the post-install patches were successfully applied to the system. I did, like you, NVRAM and SMC reset, to no avail.
I then let Onyx app do a maintenance routine, one task "System integrity check" took 20mins. (2mins. was normal so far), but then the problem was gone.
A fresh install and reverting to the previous macOS that ran perfectly is always something to consider, as long as you have a Time machine backup.

I have "MacBook Pro 13 early 2011" with Intel HD Graphics 3000
I installed clean Monterey 12.2 and I noticed some graphics issues, one example when click right click on Recycle basket it flickers and glitching and this is anoying. Is there any graphics patch/fix to solve this? Also can I increase graphics memory from 512 MB to 1024 or more?

Same here on MBP4,1:
Found the culprit with 12.3 beta: Somehow, the Skylight Framework is only fixed incompletely for this OS build.
I get constant, CPU hogging crashes of the replay daemon /usr/libexec/replayd due to missing symbol in SkyLight.
Also, interestingly, the CPU seems throttled in addition, only reaching low temperatures while being 100% active with no idle time.

edit: checked back with running Onyx maintenance job, does (of course) not solve the root issue with SkyLight in 12.3

Please use the OCLP online docs - there is no support for any youtube guides because there is no way to control the contents. Some are simply out of date, some are wrong, some incomplete, others may be fine and work.

There is no time to watch such videos and find mistakes.

There are graphics issues even after post installíng patches. Not working everything at 100%, but it´s usable.

The artifacts with HD3000 and Monterey have nothing to do with the ammount of RAM of the HD3000. It´s a matter of OpenGL.
