Successfully installed 13.3.1 for a non-metal iMac10,1 with OCLP_063 and an OCLP generated installation USB flash drive on a newly created internal Samsung EVO860 SSD partition. The installation was very smooth that it booted up with the root patch applied automatically. Ventura runs very well for my needs (basic stuff), thanks to all the developers for the excellent work, particularly the non-metal part of the development.
Also like to point out that the same installation to a Samsung external T5 SSD always failed at the second installation phase never completes to 100% (“An error occurred preparing the software update” message appears with less than a minute remaining!) with the "macOS Update Assistant" window in the background. The external T5 has multiple partitions and I've tried to Erase/Add/Merge APFS multiple times which did not make any difference: it always failed at the same spot (time consuming as well because it took long time to get to that point). Not sure if it's partition related or AVX2.0 related issue. But the fact that Ventura installed successfully to an internal SSD indicates this issue may be partition related.

Had this exact issue a couple of times with various machines (always installing on-top of internal boot volume).
Sometimes it helped to do it over and over again; I suspect also NVRAM clear helped.
Now with 13.3.1 and 13.4beta I struggle on a C2D machine (MBAir 2,1) on which 13.2.1 worked well. Also new partitioning / erasing the existing boot volume did not help. Tried a few times (as you wrote: time consuming!).
Now jumped back to Monterey and currently doing an OTA to 13.3.1 now (previously used USB installer stick).
OCLP 0.6.2 and 0.6.3 do not differ in that regard.

Lets see how OTA goes this time. Edit: OTA from Monterey to Ventura 13.3.1 worked without hassle.

Regardless of the outcome, the underlying problem cause would be very helpful to know.

Successfully installed 13.3.1 on MacBook8,1 (12inch Early 2015) with OTA Update.
OCLP 0.6.3 (rebuilding Open Core before update and root patch after)

Every things work today.👍🏻

On the other hand, i had to update the firmware in 481.0.0.0.0, using a Big Sur installation and its updates on an external SSD.

On my testing internal SSD with latest Ventura 13.3.1+ and 0.6.3 OCLP, Parallers still not working. Also SIRI and Apple TV auto closing.
Click to expand...
Tried OCLP EFI 0.6.2 and root patch from 0.6.3 release as suggested for other systems and now Siri, Prieview app is working fine. Also on Parallels Desktop added the boot flag "video.metal=0" (Configuration-->Hardware-->Boot Order-->Advanced...) and working fine too. For some reason watching AppleTV free episodes worked only if managed to click on progress bar (over 10s). From 0s just starting the movie and auto closing.

Figured out the problem of adobe bridge! Need to copy with the replacement of the bridge plist from another computer on which you need to pre-select the "Advanced - Use software rendering" checkbox
Something like this i assumed, that the bridge would not refer to GPU when loading

Spoke too soon... YouTube vids won't play on either the internal or external monitors. Safari page load usually crashes. Sometimes the audio starts but the video is very soft, blurred-out.

Anyone else seeing this?

Same here.
Netflix and YouTube crash in Safari and Firefox (also tested Safari in Lockdown Mode).
But both work in Chrome.

MacBookPro10,1
macOS 13.3.1
OCLP 0.6.3: Root Patches installed, AMFI disabled

At least the preview app works again. And I don't get a "You shut down your computer because of a problem" warning after every system startup.

I can report similar outcome on 13.4 (Build 22F5027f). Happy that Preview is working again with OCLP 0.6.3, waiting to see what more will be fixed with 0.6.4 - OCLP Developers are awesome!!!

This is a very usable update for my use case - actually not just usable, it is great!
My MacBook Pro 11,1 is now updating to 13.3.1 with OCLP 0.6.3.
Thanks again to our devs and contributors of OCLP!

Hi
Same issue here, try this one, Disabling 3D acceleration got the Windows VM to boot.

You can try to apply the following workaround to disable Metal API:
1. Make sure the virtual machine is not running;
2. Open the control center and click on the cogwheel;
2. Go to Hardware > Boot Order > Advanced Settings;
3. Paste the following system flag:

video.metal=0

4. Start your virtual machine again.

Hope this temporal solution help you using it.

Thank you, worked well with Parallels 18.

After shutting down each of these vms a report window pops up "prl_vm_app quit unexpectedly."

That's probably a kernel panic after you hit restart but before it actually restarted, those can possibly be detected if verbose mode is on.
 
From the 0.6.3 patch notes:

"Resolve accidental CPU renaming with RestrictEvents"

Thank you for this. My cMP 5,1 no longer identifies as a 2x 3.46 ghz 6-core Intel i5.

I am on Monterey on my Mac mini 2012 for over a year and it has been rock solid so far. I also follow all the development of Ventura for unsupported Macs in this topic. Because the Mac mini is my daily driver I stay on Monterey until Ventura is more stable than the current state it's in. My hope is that Apple doesn't put too many new features in Ventura anymore so that the fantastic OCLP team can make it as solid as Monterey.

Super insight thank you very much, it's exactly the kind of insight I needed thank you.

I can say even with 13.4, videos are broken for most (Safari, VLC, etc.). However, I am able to play videos through Chrome surprisingly.

I had a similar issue after downgrading from 13.3 (OLCP 0.6.2) to 13.2.1 (OLCP 0.6.1) and restored all data and apps from a Time Machine backup. Reinstalling a fresh OLCP 0.6.1 solved the issue.

I have a same iMac12,2 K3100M and successfully updated from 13.4B1 to 13.4B2 with OCLP_063 generated USB installation flash drive. The OTA update failed towards the end of the process whereby it went into the cyclic restart without ever showing the login screen. "Safe Mode" did not make any difference.
My iMac10,1 (non-metal) also has this update issue. Right now it somehow updated from 11.7.6 to 11.7.7B via OTA and the iMac would not shutdown or restart normally. I have to hold the power button to turn it off. Looking at the Preboot volume, it seems it's missing a lot of stuff by comparing to the Ventura Preboot on the same disk, which was also installed via the installation USB.

I only experienced this failed booting when I uncheck the "disable AMFI" in the OCLP setting. Did you use the stock (recommended) OCLP setting? Did you also install the OCLP config into your internal drive?

Did not test VMs as I don't use them so I can't comment on this.

I did not change any default OCLP settings (AMFI=0x80 is in the config.plist) and I also installed OCLP EFI to the internal drive prior to the update.
