It should update like normal from System Preferences. Though there’s a good chance that the latest RC2 beta version is the same as today’s release, in which case no update is necessary.
Same with latest Ventura update

However, if I press the Option key when pulling down the Dropbox menu, it displays normally.

am not using bootcamp assistant at all. i just install it via EFI on a seperate partition.
Yes, I updated from RC1 to RC2 this way. Only need to redo the root patch
Hi everyone,
Just to say that I successfully upgraded my MBP 9,2 (13 inch mid-2012) to Ventura (22A5373b) using the latest 0.5.0 build. So far, everything works normally and it feels equal or better than Monterey performance-wise.
Only thing to note was that I was on Monterey 12.6 and tried to do OTA, but after the second restart it either hung up or crashed with a kernel panic due to a missing lib. I proceeded to install again using an USB stick and it all went flawlessly. I must have missed something among all the info in these pages, because I was expecting to having to root patch after install, but as soon as Ventura booted, I noticed graphics acceleration was on and of course OpenCorePatcher said it had root patched today. Nice!
I am now receiving on software update the notification for the new (final release?) version. Will try this one on OTA again later today and report if anything.
Thanks to everyone who have worked so hard on this!

Thank you!! I'm reading/researching before I attempt any action. This is a whole new world for me and I'm intrigued.
No problem. There are a few steps involved, but it should be rather straight forward if you follow the instructions. If you have an external hard drive available I'd recommend also trying to install Ventura there first. That'll give you a feel for how it works on your machine. With an external SSD over USB 3, the performance is very good so it makes for a good way to test things out without overwriting a working system on the internal drive until you are certain that's what you want to do.
Fantastic idea!! I think I will follow your suggestion.
Happy to report that upgrading the patcher to the latest build of this morning fixed the copy-paste crashes.
Now everything is absolutely perfect. MacBook Air 2012.

I installed the .5 version someone linked to a few posts back and did moderate spoofing, installed the beta from Mr. Macintosh’s links and then OTA to RC2. I then ran root patches and set spoofing back to none
Quick update: Just finished updating OTA to 22A380 (RC2) and applying post-install root patches. No issues at all.
It is MacMini6,2. I downloaded the beta as per your previous advice. CryptexFixup.kext is enabled as confirmed from config.plist
Should I disable CryptexFixup.kext?
As a last resort, I gonna clean install macOS on SSD. Is it possible to skip BigSur/Monterey and clean install Ventura without first booting the last EFI from USB stick?
Do I have to clean install Catalina (last official macOS for MacMini6,2) then upgrade it to Ventura?
What is double stacked modified EFI? I pressed as you have described. But to no avail.

Don’t disable CryptexFixup, the app decides if it must be installed or not.
You can install Ventura directly, on a blank disk, no need to go on a previous macOS.

MacBook Pro 15” mid 2014 running macOS Ventura like a charm with the latest root patches of oclp 0.5.0 released today. Everything seems to work like a charm with the exception of continuity camera.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max connects flawlessly but when I select the iPhone the FaceTime screen freezes and when I select Desktop view it states after a while no video received.
I checked all the settings, connected via wi-if and usb port, restarted all devices but no luck.
Same thing happens in Zoom.
Can somebody check to see if this works on your MacBook Pro or any other unsopported Mac?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, maybe if anyone has RC2 the final release doesn't appears on Software Update.
Anyone running Ventura on a Mac Pro 5,1 with Radeon RX580 or 6,1?
Guess I'll have to update OCLP from 0.4.11 to the nightly 0.5.0... anyone have the link to the latest/nightly build?
Is it recommended to upgrade to Monterey 12.6.1 first from Big Sur 11.7.1?

What I mean is it sounds like you are trying to load the EFI after it’s already been done. If I select EFI Boot in the first step and EFI again in the second step, then I get the same error as you. If I select my OS volume in the second step I don’t get the error and the system boots like normal. I am running the latest development version of OCLP with default settings.
