I have the same computer and the same WiFi-Bluetooth chip, and it works for me. Have you tried reinstalling the root patches from OpenCore again? It should show up as 'Modern Wireless.'

If it appears but doesn't work, check to see if any of the antenna connectors have come loose. This can easily happen.

What doesn't work is transferring all the data. You need to do that in Monterey and then upgrade to Sequoia.

In Sequoia, USB cameras don't work yet. However, they do work in Sonoma
 
Indeed, it works perfectly for me too.
Sorry for not taking the time to come and tell you that everything was working on Sequoia 15.1.1
Except my Logitec Brio Camera in USB connected on a fast USB 3.0 on the backpanel :(

So, still no USB webcams on Sequoia. :( It's cruical for my job to have webcam, so no upgrade for now. Is there anyone with 14.7.1. that can confirm that USB webcam works? I am still on 14.7 because of that.
 
Don't upgrade to 15.2 until further notice! Just saw on Discord that folks are seeing crashes in Safari Javascript JIT and suspect that it is using AVX.

Hello, I am using Sonoma 14.7.1 with a Logitech USB camera connected to a 3.0 hub, and it works perfectly. In fact, it also works on Sequoia without OCLP patches. However, once the patches are applied, it stops working.

I'm running Sequoia and everything works great, except that there appears to be no anti-aliasing on certain types of graphics/shapes/text. For example:

Currently OCLP 2.1.2 and Sequoia 15.1.1, but it was like this on 15.0.1 and 15.1 and earlier OCLP versions. GPU is an RX 580.

Same problem with RX580 and 15.1.1, visible ou Google homepage, lichess,...

My 5,1 can't turn on WIFI when I upgrade to 15.1.1, Bluetooth works fine.
The WIFI card is BCM94360CD.

Can anyone know why and how to repair it?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Reverting root patches and then reapplying them again helps sometimes. Also a PRAM reset might help.
 
I dunno why, but I'm perpetually confused by these reports of OCLP working on the 5,1 with Ventura/Sonoma/Sequoia, because I understood everything after Monterey to rely heavily on AVX2, which is not supported for the 5,1 or 6,1.

Are you guys just using Sequoia, with the expectation that it's going to be highly unstable on a 5,1?

Nope, works fine. I've had zero stability issues, only the graphic artifact I mentioned earlier. Performance and usability are the same as they were under Monterey.
 
How did the OCLP team get around the AVX2 requirements?
According to their site:

Currently at this time, OpenCore Legacy Patcher only supports patching the AMD Polaris and Vega Graphics stack to no longer require AVX2.0. We're recently received an AMD RX 6600 donation, so hopefully in the future the project can support AMD Navi with pre-Haswell Macs. However, no time estimates can be given.

Ahhhh OK. I use/need Navi GPU (5700XT) to interface with my Studio Display, so looks like I'm stuck with Monterey.

They patched it the best they could, but they did not get around AVX2 requirements.

Even with the best patches, it is highly likely your system will crash with a VTDecoderXPCServ kernel panic at some point.

My 3,1 and flashed 4,1 will run into that exact panic at random. Sometimes a system will be up for weeks with no issues, other times it will crash when idle, or after an AppleTV+ or other video stops playing.

Hello. Anyone have any updates on when/if the USB webcam will work again in future updates for Mac Pro 5,1 on Sequoia 15.2+?

OCLP developers do not read posts here, report the issue/ask about on the OCLP Discord server.

Don't they really have a regular email or web form for reporting bugs? :( I supported them and paid a donation because I believe they are doing a great job, but I find it really strange that they use the gaming-chat platform to report bugs. I'm already so overflowed with various messengers that it's frustrating for me to register for yet another platform instead of sending one simple email. :(

The developers may not have the bandwidth, manpower to review hundreds, thousands of posts in forums, email messages or posts from various websites in different countries. Likely their plate is full. They’re testing, debugging 20+ Mac laptops, iMacs, Mac Minis, Mac Pros from various years and I think their work isn’t a walk in the park. If I would encounter tech problems, I would first try to find alternate ways, check other sources like the FB group and try out alternate fixes.

I ended up installing Discord and reporting the issue, but I didn't get any feedback so far. I looked for alternative ways to fix it, some said that it might help to turn on the "Disable AMFI" option in OpenCore, but in the end, those who tried it said it didn't work and they had to go back to Sonoma. I'm really sorry because it doesn't seem like a big problem, and for many it's crucial. If anyone finds out anything, please let me know!

OK guys, today I got feedback from Discord bug report channel:

"This is the case on ALL MP 5,1 systems using an external webcam. It will work without root patches, but with patches, blank video. There and MANY posts here about this, but this is not something the OCLP team has chosen to work on (I'm not sure why as I've tried to raise it up thew chain). It appears there is something with the USB 1.1 root-patch that breaks video on webcams.If you need webcams to work, roll-back to Sonoma until this is fixed. I'm glad I had more than one MP 5,1 and tested it first before upgrading my main system. Sonoma is very stable and webcams still work."

Something that thinking back, is new to me: I've been applying OCLP root patches over and over, thinking that I'm getting a complete new set everytime.

Correct me if I'm wrong, reverting the root patches means that OCLP looks at the computer and hardware and then after "revert" the next "apply", downloads and or applies a complete new set for the hardware and software configuration.

I know much time has passed @MNissen but may I ask if this is the case please?
I.E. Did you find the answer?
