12" 2017 MacBook10,1 updated to 14.2.1 OTA. Wifi wouldn't work when I rebooted - but after redoing the Root Patches - everything working grand.
OCLP will download it automatically if needed.

I read it is recommended to install OCLP to the SSD of a Fusion Drive while I always installed it on the HDD. In what extend will this affect the speed? More important question: can I install the next OCLP update on the SSD even if it is now located on the HDD?
it is recommended due to speed in my opinion, to install OCLP on the ssd part you can mount and delete on the hdd part, but if you have good experience with OCLP on the hdd part and all is working fine may stay with your solution. I always installed in OCLP in Fusion Drive environments on the ssd part for booting as fast as possible ;-) or even better get rid of Fusion Drive and change to ssd‘s completly for much better performance.
My magic moose stopped working after the drugs wore off…Magic Moose?🤣🤣🤣 I'd have loved to see that
Hello.
Just realised that after update to 14.2.1 and OCLP 1.3.0 using Airplay from Apple Music to Apple TV or receiver results in a SBOD and force quit. This is on two similar rMBP 10,1. Airplay from Apple TV works.
Anyone seeing this and have a fix or a hint?
Also want to take a moment and say thanks to all devs and contributors in this (mostly pretty well working community over the last year of 2023. Best wishes for the holidays
Be safe, be well.

hello I thank everyone who worked to update Open Core which allows us to use our old Macs. Thank you very much and happy new year 2024
You can install it to both disks, SSD and HD, but than you have to install updates of OCLP to both, the SSD and the HD. You also can install it to SSD and remove (delete) the EFI folder from your HD with EFI Mounter 3.1.

My MBP6,2 patched with OCLP 1.3.0 upgraded to Sonoma 14.3 Beta (23D5033f) via OTA without any issues. During the upgrade, the progress bar appeared to freeze for a lengthy period, but progress continued after a long pause and the upgrade completed.
EDIT: Similar flawless upgrade experience with Sonoma 14.2.1 (Release).

yes, I had same behaviour twice when upgrading to MacOS 14.2. Patience is the key...
Awhile ago, since I had removed the display, I replaced the memory with two sticks of 16GB of OWC memory. The only wierd thing was that neither of the sticks show a serial number. In fact, the field is all 0's. Don't think this would present a problem with graphics but I wonder if Sonoma has issue SN-less memory. Just a thought.
I never changed my RAM but I continue to get such kind of graphics artefacts since 14.0.
Update: 14.2.1 + OCLP 1.3.0, MacbookPro9,2 - not bad, but after a few days, WindowServer process rarely dips below 20% CPU and often gets as high as 200%.
I meant to say my WindowServer is about ~13% on the average. Maybe a little less around 11%.

When this happens, graphics go crazy with nothing really useable. Icons go missing, boxes are incomplete, no menus anywhere with insane flash and fonts stretched or messed up. Right now, it's ok. About 6 hours ago, I reinstalled root patches and rebuilt OCLP to the boot SSD. So far so good. It's like the kext's get corrupted during the patch.
Then that did happen on mine when I was on 14.2……the weird thing is it took about a week after updating before it happened. I have a weird feeling it’s something to do with the live wall papers.
