Mine seems to hang with display freeze after install. I think it's the dGPU.
How did you apply the Kepler patch, manually?

Thank you!
tar -czvp -f AppleMuxControl.kext.tar.gz /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleMuxControl.kext, I had to rename it to .zip to upload it here, so please mv AppleMuxControl.kext.zip AppleMuxControl.kext.tar.gz it when you've downloaded it 
).Edit: Here's a shell script to download the macOS 10.12 Sierra Security Update 2019-005 and to extract AppleMuxControl.kext version 3.14.52 from it automatically, just in case downloading it from a verified source is preferred:

I am still on 12.0 beta 10 without OTA update showing up for my 2x non-metal iMacs,even though "This Mac is enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program" with the latest OCLP 031n. I am not too distressed about this if there is no simple solution for it and willing to wait for another 4 days?

Well I took the manual approach with OC . Non OCLP. Looking for a way to patch Kepler manually now.
Hello,
I am on an iMac 27in late 2013 (14,2) and installed Monterey B10 using OCLP 0.3.0 and received/applied RC without a problem.
I am completely new to the OCLP and only used Monterey a couple of hours. I have noticed the following issues:
Thank you.

I am completely new to the OCLP and only used Monterey a couple of hours. I have noticed the following issues:
- Sleep doesn't work. Explicitly choosing Sleep from the Apple menu or on the login screen doesn't do anything. Letting the mac unused for extend period just switch between blank screen and log in screen every 5 min but the screen did not shut off. The light bleed on the dark screen is obvious in a dark room.
- Brightness cannot be controlled. F1/F2 (or Fn F1/F2) doesn't do anything while the other keys F11/F12 for volume works.
- Metal doesn't seem to be enabled. According to docs, iMac late 2013 does support Metal on the NVDIA.
Graphic effects like the Genie Effect for minimizing and restoring windows is very slow and the whole UI freezes while it is doing it (the mouse cursor stops moving, doesn't react to any keyboard interaction). I disabled the Genie Effect thinking it is a work around but when I wanted to open the Disk Utility which in Launch Pad/Other, just getting the Other panel to open took at least 20 secs and the mouse was freezing and stuttering making it very hard to go pick a program.
I do not recall experiencing the issue when on B10 but I only used B10 at most 20 minutes as once I saw RC available I upgraded OTA. I recall opening Disk Utility while in B10 and I would have noticed if it WAS slow due to graphic acceleration issue.
In Grapher, the 3D does not show any graph.
Thank you.

My iMac 2017 27" running Monterey b10 and OCLP 0.31n also doesn't show the 12.0.1rc update.
As I recalled, the spool Mac ID might have been blocked from what I read in some message before, and needs to be changed to some others like iMac15,1 to receive the update.
Anyway, I would suggest just to wait for the final release in few days.

I missed that step. Thank you very much for the quick reply. I was not sure my NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M graphic card WAS part of the NVIDIA Kepler that requires a patch.
When I went for the Post-Install patch then it identified the NVIDIA Kepler series patch to be applied. All the issues I reported are now resolved.
A great thanks to a great community.
I have not done anything special than just go to Software update while in B10 and saw RC available. Then I went and removed the beta profile to not receive any beta update.
Hey all
Before I go wading thru 89 pages.... does this work on the Late 2014 27" iMac Retina i7, and are there any things that are broken?

It seems Apple keeps a database for the unsupported Macs which have been running the beta Monterey for awhile and inevitably have sent some crash &/ diagnosis data to Apple so that the new beta update would be blocked.
Had the same issue, if you install dev seed profile, it will offer 12.0.1 update.
OK, so the compability list tells me my machine isn't officially supported ..... which I know, and why I am here. The potentially can be patched list doesn't show my 15,1. So your answer isn't really of any help with what I specifically asked.
Cheers ... seems that it will make my 5k display run at 4k, so less than ideal sadly.
I can confirm that I still had the beta profile when I saw the RC update.
My mac account is linked to my appleId which is a member of the Apple DEV Program. I am not sure if that plays a role in the profile the Mac saw.
Once in the 12.0.1 though, I removed the beta profile so to not receive further beta updates.
