macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

I don’t think it is RC as the build is 22G109 - which looks like a full release.Correction - 13.6RC
Even after running sudo /bin/launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.softwareupdated attached is what I got.
RC always have a "non beta" release number.
A "release candidate" is supposed to be released if no issue is found
I just changed Macs from one that had the full up-to-date OS14 Sonoma beta installation to one with OS13 Ventura, and frankly can't see any worthwhile reason to 'upgrade' to Sonoma - the most recent Ventura version seems to have all the functions I need ... what am I missing?
Confirmed - it is the RC.RC always have a "non beta" release number.

Thanks rbart.
MBP5,2: 13.6RC (22G109) installed OTA over 13.5.1 on internal SSD. Using latest OCLP main 069n (20Aug) for EFI and post-install patching. KDK from 13.5.1 is used as best match.Confirmed - it is the RC.
Resulting system works very well.
As always for USB1.1 machines, need external keyboard/mouse connected to USB via USB2 hub until post-install patches are applied which then enable internal keyboard and trackpad - this is for Ventura and Sonoma.
Thank you developers!

I forgot to say that the problem is present on the MBP11,1 also with the lid open (as @iPlasm also previously said, for his machine), when the Cinema Display goes black (after the screensaver, with the default settings): a rather serious issue.
A temporary workaround is to disable display sleep (set to “Never”).

About 13.6, can this (see below) be true…?!? It would be total nonsense: fix Location Services in 13.5.1, only to break them again in 13.6! Let’s hope this will be fixed in the final 13.6 release…
I installed macOS 13.6 just now with 0.6.8 and it's fixed - confirmed. Didn't know 0.6.9 was out but now I'm looking.
0.6.9 Is still beta. So is 13.6 as far as I know, but probably RC
When you run Opencore Legacy Patcher 0.6.8 and choose "Create macOS installer," 13.6 was the only choice on my machine. It did work. I tried clicking on official telephone support and got Rickrolled though.
You need to provide actual details about your problem. Nobody can help you with what you’ve provided here.
Only kernel panics are fixed, not playing AppleTV+ content still persists…
My AppleTV+ was fixed with the installation of macOS 13.6 using 0.6.8 for what it's worth. Before installing 13.6 go to TV, Settings, Advanced, then Reset Warnings, Reset Cache, Clear Play History, Confirm Clear Play History and exit the program. That advice was what Apple Support said to try while I was still having the issue. It didn't work. But the TV app did work after the full install of 13.6.
All I can say is it's working fine on my iMac 14,2 - 13.5.1 with OCLP 0.6.9n (23Aug23), so there must be some hardware specific issues still to resolve.
Followed your advice, upgraded the wifi card to a BCM 94360CS on a 2011 27 inch Polaris iMac , upgraded to Ventura. So far Airplay - Video and Audio - works great, can even use an ATV3 as extended display. Very happy to finally move from Catalina
Hi!
This question is not exclusive for Ventura but for OCLP generally: Macs that had video acceleration (H264 etc) in High Sierra, seems to have lost it in OCLP that which increases the CPU a lot when watching videos. Is there a way to activate the video acceleration on these macs? I’m using a white Macbook 2010.

Can you test if GPU based H.264 worked with dosdude1 patches Mojave or Catalina on your particular system?
The foundation for OCLP non metal patches has been created back in this time. If it did not work back with Mojave it will unlikely work on Big Sur and later.
