With macOS 12.3b1 Apple has further depreciated more PERFECTLY GOOD MACS, some root-patch graphics patches will require tweaking? ??

Thanks for the reply Roysterdoyster. I’ve tried a fresh install and got the same result. As I used migration assistant during the install I thought that was the mistake and maybe I should’ve done a complete clean install. Then I tried a few times reinstalling the root patches to no avail.
Turns out I just needed to first uninstall the root patches and then install them again. Man am I glad I tried that function ?.

Thanks again for responding and to the geniuses who created this beautiful tool!

After performing Step #3 with OCLP_042NTUI off-line variant noticed some slowness in browser scrolling. So. D/L’d the regular version. Re-installed NVIDIA patches OTA, now it runs better than expected. Edit: Only the off-line variant version delivered the replayd crashing feature, further testing has shown. Patching OTA may have corrected? Nope. Edit: The crash is a macOS bug. Further depletion of intel and private processes dependencies is likely the cause - issues w/OCLP root-patches scripting are the effect. ?

Since the issue disappears if you revert to Big Sur, I'd have to say it's an issue in either Intel's GPU drivers not talking to Monterey properly or Apple's Metal implementation.

Don't know if that's an easily tackled issue for the OCLP guys though.

Fixed after update to 12.3 beta
Working perfect

I recently had unfriendly experiences for OTA upgrades on my iMac 14,2 from macOS 12.0 to 12.1 and then again from 12.1 to 12.2. In both cases the OTA upgrades resulted in an operating system that was sluggish and some applications, like Chrome, were basically unusable. In the first case I used Time Machine to go back from 12.1 to 12.0 and then used OCLP to install 12.1 from USB; afterward, 12.1 was working well. But in the second case, I actually had left Time Machine off inadvertently and did not have a recent working backup (my error!). Ugh, that was awful. After a bunch of costly misadventures I used Time Machine to make a backup of the poorly working 12.2 and then used OCLP and a USB to format the internal drive and do a clean install of 12.2 followed by Migration Assistant from the Time Machine backup of the poorly working 12.2. I had my fingers crossed. Fortunately it all worked out and I ended up at macOS 12.2 with all my data and set-up without having to recreate everything.

I have been bit twice now, once very hard, on OTA updates. They used to work fine. Needless to say, when macOS 12.3 rolls around I may not be brave enough to try the update OTA.

@slim0287 Perhaps that's the explanation for my lagging 12.3 beta which was done OTA from 12.2 (delta update about 2GB). Thanks for this information!

Does someone already have a link to the complete "InstallAssistant" package of Monterey 12.3 beta so that I can create a new USB install media with OCLP?

I have a highlight problem in Word under Monterey 12.2. Any one knows the solution to come back to normal? Thank you so much!​

 

[xLorak]

where download OCLP_042N???
in github latest versio 0.41


can you tell me step by step for upgrade 12.3 beta??
i have a problemm 2x install but stuck Apple LOGO

It's related to yourS GPU, I'm installing it with mini patcher or something similar, but not olcp. If you doing upgrade, just make sure you had minimum shared display aka remote desktop turned on, MacBook Pro 2014 11,3 gt750m had the same issue but it just logged with frozen LCD. I went on y it remote and patched with Nvidia drivers. Even Air 2012 had unsupported BS and now just copied partition from newer Air-2013 with Monte and patched wifi.

No real solution. Since not everybody in the non-metal community has seen these gray boxes: Do all your machines act like that? I've tested very much with Big Sur and Monterey on my MBP8,1 and different versions of Word - without success. Then yesterday Jazzzny suggested on Discord to try Word 16.43 (November 2020, I guess). That works for me! But of course it would be great if this issue could be solved at some stage.

EDIT: I testet a bit today. I got as far as 16.49. 16.50 is the first version to produce gray boxes. I know that older versions do that as well. But I won't bother testing when the good times started. I'm satisfied to have found the most recent version that works for the time being.

Thank you for pointing me to this function, HowowcanIgo, which was not on my mind, when trying to fix the current problem of sluggishness and unresponsiveness of applications under 12.3b. I will test it and report.

12.3b -- After reading your findings I tested System root-patch via all 4 variants of OCLP 0.4.2n, only the GUI_offline version rendered a usable system. All other 3 variants resulted in unsatisfying performance, with almost 10min. of complete unresponsiveness of applications after login.

For the moment I will stick with OCLP 0.4.2n GUI offline, until more promising reports by fellow forum members.

12.2 was a battleship, 12.3 feels like a prototype

Hello
Well my first real problem after my move to Monterey 12.1 on my cMP 3.1.
When I turn it off and want to turn it back on the next day, I'm stuck on the Apple logo and a progress bar at 1/3.
I have to force shutdown and restart on my 2nd SSD with Catalina and reselect my boot SSD on PCI-e with Monterey for it to work (good ).
An idea ?

 

[rehkram]

I think I'll take a pass on 12.3 b1 on my unsupported Mac.
I don't see the point of fighting with it. Thanks to all for the reporting from the front line.

In 12.3b the replayd process crashes repeatedly upon wake from a machine initiated sleep. The crash does not appear except upon wake. Not present in 12.2. YMMV
More - the repeated crashing persists for four (4) minutes solid during which time the Mac runs sluggish and unresponsive.

 

[TOM1211]

I decided to stick at 12.2 it’s solid on 2014 MacBook Pro very responsive and because I don’t own a iPad or anything that would work with the universal control although does tempt you to get a iPad but I suppose that’s what Apple wants .

Today's latest OCLP 0.4.2 version might fix this? (Fix Power Management Support in macOS 12.3 Beta 1)

Hey guys, I was trying to help the guy. He requested help, I gave it, after getting more info after his "it just doesn't work" post. I was in user support for decades and fielded thousands of calls like this. People need to be specific about their particular problem before it's possible to provide assistance.

And yes actually I read this thread every day, after having followed it since the beginning. I get it, people are having a wide range of problems on a wide range of machines at the moment. This is very frustrating for a lot of people until they find their particular solutions.

Re OTA it doesn't work on my external USB, and I don't get incremental updates on my Mac anyway due to post install patches so no benefit whatsoever, but that's just my own use case.

'it just doesn't work' wasn't my message, my mac info is in the comment footer. I asked as other people had the same issue i did and I stopped seeing people bring up the issue recently yet i was still suffering with it.

I've done a fresh install from scratch, (well reinstalled big Sur from scratch then upgraded from there). Used the newest OCLP and still sadly getting full system crashes. I cant see it linked to any particular app, stopped using Safari a while ago and its even worse when transferring files between hard drives.

With a lot of bugs, but CMP 3.1 rock it! =)
OCLP 0.4.2NB (Power Management fix)
Thanks for all contributors for greate work!

 

[LexAngel]

I used the Monterey Legacy Patcher for the first time today on a late 2012 iMac. I thought everything was working great, GT 640M shown as drivers loaded, all patches installed, but neither Chrome or Edge display properly. I've tried Googling, but can't find my exact problem Everything else works, including Safari as far as I can tell so far. Any ideas?
