With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.6.3, some quite useful bugs fixes are dropping related to macOS 13.3 and newer:
- Resolves 3rd party apps erroring due to broken Metal API on 3802 GPUs
- ie. Intel Ivy Bridge and Haswell, and Nvidia Kepler
- Resolve Safari 16.4 rendering issues on non-Metal GPUs
- Resolve CoreGraphics.framework crashes on Ivy Bridge CPUs
And many more bug fixes listed in the changelog below.
As to be expected, many of these features are still in active development. This is a community driven project, and as such we ask users to keep expectations in check and use Monterey if you encounter issues that affect you.
