macOS 13 Ventura on Unsupported Macs Thread

I upgraded my Macbook Pro Mid2012 from Monterey to Ventura. Everything works fine, but the photos app can't recognize faces, the photos in the widgets have delays and if you have a Memoji as a user icon, it breaks when the screen is locked (in Monterey it seemed like it was "alive"). Could it be a bug or hardware deficiency?
I downloaded from OCLP .68 picking the "22G120" listing. It downloaded and verified the installer just fine. However, on building a new Installer USB, it showed as "22G115", which is the older RC version I believe.
In any event, I upgraded my MPB2015 with OTA 13.6. It shows "22G120" version. Reinstalled patches from OCLP v.68 and all seems fine.
I'll upgrade my other Ventrua - OCLP needed (MacMini 2014 and MacMini 2012) devices via OTA as well, and wait a few days before trying again to rebuild the USB Installers for all three.

Memoji breaks indeed. I only had eyes left 👀. But with the new iOS 17 i have updated my contact card and that picture syncs across all devices, including Ventura macs.
Now if they would just release 0.6.9 officially, then I'll be fully up to date with public releases to fix issues.
That might be more due to Apple's hardware being keyed together. I don't know if they did that with your model though. Just a thought because it sounds like a possibility based on your description.
Upgraded from Monterey to Ventura today on a MacBookPro5,5. That was a wild ride!
The upgrade and installation itself went fine via the Software Update, but after restarting, the desktop appeared, but I could no longer interact with the MacBook Pro because pretty much everything that would have been needed to do so was "dead": keyboard, trackpad, Bluetooth, WiFi, none of it worked!
But after connecting a wired keyboard and wired mouse to the MacBook Pro via an old USB 2 hub, I was able to successfully install the still much needed root patches. And there were quite a few
...
After that, everything finally worked again. For a moment it seemed as if the computer had been lost to me. But not this time ...
It can't be said often enough: Thanks to all developers involved who make something like this possible!

Yes, these machines which use USB1.1 internally need a wired keyboard and mouse until the post-install patches are applied (possibly also a USB2 hub). I.e also while using a USB installer.Upgraded from Monterey to Ventura today on a MacBookPro5,5. That was a wild ride!

USB1.1 is no longer supported in Ventura and Sonoma.
Upgraded all my devices that need OCLP for Ventura via OTA 13.6 (22G120), reinstalled patches, and all is peachy-keen. haha. MPB2015, MacMini2014, and MacMini2012 (x4). Still on OCLP .68 w/AMFI enabled.
(I also updated all my devices that support native macOS 13 as well: iMac2020-27in, MacMini2021, MBP2022-13in, MBP2020-16in, MBP2018-15in (All are Intel based). Except for Wifey's MBP2016-15in that is still on native Monterey, everything else is on 13.6 now. I'm sure I'll be doing this exercise again soon for 13.6.1 or 13.6.2. ;-)
I could be wrong, but I don't believe Devs will release official OCLP .69 (or later) until after macOS 14 Sonoma is released. I won't probably look at Sonoma until at least 14.1.x anyway We'll see were OCLP is at that point.
This is a question regarding Monterey on SUPPORTED hardware. I have an issue with the Mac App store, where the option to automatically download apps purchased on other devices won't stay checked. I've done the usual troubleshooting steps such as sign out / and back into the app store, clean caches, delete preferences, restart, create a new user, and nothing fixes it. What's strange is, Ventura on the same iMac under OCLP has this option enabled. It's not a huge deal, as I usually manually install apps anyway, but I would like to fix this if possible, in case there is an issue.
Also, today I downloaded the Monterey 12.7 full installer from Mr. Macintosh's website and re-ran it just in case something got broken. Still not fixed. The only thing I can think of is, this is the only Mac signed into iCloud, the other devices are my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen.) It just doesn't make sense that the unsupported OS works, but the officially supported one, doesn't. If anyone has any suggestions that I HAVEN"T tried and listed here, I'm open to suggestions. Again, mainly just want to fix this if possible, the system seems to function as normal except for this detail.
Thanks

Yup, got it running on my MacBookPro11,4. It still has that issue since I patched it to run Ventura where it tends to get stuck during booting and I have to manually restart. I really hope I don't have to wipe and re-install, because I don't want to erase/wreck the Boot Camp partition again.
Well my two big players right now are Monterey and Ventura, Sonoma was just out of curiosity. As far as the question I posted today, I think is legit to go here because I'm comparing native supported behavior to unsupported with OCLP where the native os has issues, and the OCLP one doesn't seem to have that issue.
@MacinMan No worries - I totally agree. I think threads are over-rated and don't understand why we don't just have one thread for all issues.
I have the same MBP. Currently running Monterey very nicely. What’s your experience like on Ventura compared to the previous OS?Upgraded from Monterey to Ventura today on a MacBookPro5,5. That was a wild ride!

Hi guys,
I'm trying to use Blender but it crashes as soon as I try to open it. I've searched on this thread and I've spotted users saying it was working on previous versions of Ventura.
Is anyone having the same issue?
MBP 10,1 - Ventura 13.6 - OCLP 0.6.8
