Need help, Stuck in this screen while updating to Ventura (OC 0.8.5 in Monterey)
Have you updated the AMD kernel patches? Also update the kexts if you haven't done that already, use the builds page to get most of them.
I see the latest version as 16th of june https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla/commit/870f3bbd58eb15799422af8d20fabc0a18bad6a0

Need to KNOW this !!!
The only case where it doesn't just work is when vendor-specific instruction sets are used or when code does something differently depending on the CPU it runs on. There are some places like this in macOS kernel and AMD-OSX patches fix them.
What are some alternatives?
