Interesting. Does that mean a Public Beta 2?

Downloading now. Thanks for the link.

beta 3 installed on iMac 21.5 ”late 2012 with software update. Everything works fine except Safari, which most websites reloads constantly without stopping…

Opencore 0.2.3

I Will be installing this through Software Update,2012 Mac Mini, last time went well, hopefully, the same this time.

Edit:
Installed without a glitch.
Too short to see how it runs, had a process quit though, I think it was thumbnail/quickview.

Are you certain this issue is with OCLP 0.2.3 specifically? This looks to be a macOS Monterey bug

OTA update to macOS Monterey 12.0 Beta (21A5284e)

iMac11,3 - AMD RX480 - BCM943602CDP - Xeon 4370 - OCLP 0.2.2

Using the latebloom extension I could update the system without any hangs or problems to the latest Beta. It is really important to mention that the version 0.1.7 of latebloom did not hook any longer into the new kernel on boot but even though I could successfully install the OTA update. Meanwhile an Beta 3 aware update has been posted.

If you experience kernel hangs on the various reboots during installation or on cold or warm boot after primary installation with pre 2012 systems you should consider adding this extension to your OC config.

- Bluetooth is working as before
- Performance is the same as on Big Sur or Catalina if you consider the usual Geekbench tests as a proof.

OCLP 0.2.3 software update Monterey Beta 3 shows available, installed successfully no issues whatsoever. Thanks again.

Confirmed installed beta 3 on iMac 13,2. Is software update, no issues at all, everything went through flawlessly.

I also noticed the multiple safari bugs with web sites crashing… especially this forum page, having to use my iPhone as I refuse to use edge on my Mac unless I have no other choice.

good job everyone.

settings I have configured through patcher are auto selection of modded boot volume and hidden boot selection screen - so my iMac boots as if it’s a supported OS.

too job everyone

can’t wait for beta 4 now 👍

Is the Safari reload Problem „unsupported Mac“- related? Or a general issue?

I have the same in my unsupported Mac…

Seems an issue related to those Ivy Bridge iMac, try this:

defaults write com.apple.coremedia hardwareVideoDecoder disable

if after this you still have the Safari page reloads, then I guess you should remove the AppleGVA* binaries from folders:

sudo rm /System/Volumes/Update/mnt1/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleGVA*.framework/Versions/A/AppleGVA*

And I don’t break anything with it?

Do I have to Restart after operations?

MacBook Pro 11.3, Monterey Beta1, Beta2, Beta3 getting error 3014 when updating iPhone 12MaxPro. On BigSure no problem. How can solve? Thanks.

Hi,
after 1 week with beta 2 I got today this screen.

any idea ?
View attachment 1806017

Should mean you are booting not via OpenCore. (Maybe after CMD+ALT+P+R reset NVRAM?) Try holding down ALT while booting to get the Apple boot picker. Assuming you get that, then CTRL+Enter on the OpenCore entry (if it is still there and working) to reselect it as default.

 

[webg3]

Is your edges like this too?

Hey guys! Just finished installing macOS Monterey Beta 3 (21A5284e) on my MBP 9,2 non-retina using OCLP 0.2.2.
All working perfect. Thank you everyone for all your great work.

Thanks, but did that work for someone?

/System/Volumes/Update/mnt1/ is empty, so "no matches found"

iMac late 2012 21,5" with I7-3770S (Ivy Bridge)

Using now Edge, maybe it works again with next beta... 🙂

What's the output of these:

defaults read com.apple.coremedia

ls -l /S*/L*/F*/WebKit*/V*/A/R*/com.apple.WebProcess.sb

Edit


{
hardwareVideoDecoder = force;
}

(I forced it with "defaults write com.apple.coremedia hardwareVideoDecoder force" after removing AppleGVA* failed...)

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 69584 10 Jul 11:16 /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/com.apple.WebProcess.sb

So you are using VDA enabled with stock Monterey WebProcess, instead this output:

ls -l /S*/L*/P*F*/AppleGVA*/V*/A//AppleGVA*
