This release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.6.5 is primarily targeted against Rapid Security Responses introduced with macOS 13.3.1 (a). This should resolve the WindowServer crashing some users experienced, primarily on Haswell iGPU-only Macs.
- Do note that RSRs are currently only supported on Haswell and newer Macs, they'll error out on older units. See associated issue for more info: Rapid Security Response with legacy Macs #1019
Otherwise this build of OpenCore Legacy Patcher includes additional noteworthy improvements:
- Additional graphics patches for 3802 GPUs on 13.3+
- ie. Intel Ivy Bridge and Haswell, and Nvidia Kepler
- Add support for USB1.1 and USB3.0 controller co-existence
- ie. 2008-2012 Mac Pros with USB3.0 add-in card
- Resolves canvas rendering in Safari on non-Metal GPUs
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.
