macOS 10.14.5 Update

[pastrychef]

It's still necessary "-no_compat_check"?

To use iMac19,x system definition, "-no_compat_check" is no longer necessary.

Purple stripes have been in 14.5 betas for awhile. Only on AMD GPUs.

in my previous 2 boards “x99” i had the normal restart during updates or clean install but with my latest board “x299” i don’t get any reboots during updates or clean installs, it simply install from start to finish without a single restart and it takes less than 10 minutes, probably like 6 minutes for a brand new clean install, next time i will use the stop watch, i have a spare nvidia 740 that i use for mojave and i didn’t see any lines, but like you mentioned i noticed the system profile from all the people reporting those purple lines and they are indeed running AMD cards

regards to you gigamaxx

Was your i9 natively displayed correctly? Curious minds here.

no i have to manually edit a file to fix the unknown cpu

i have a i9 7960x

not sure but i guess the only i9 that are display properly are the ones that apple includes in their macs

all the others cpu have to be fix manually but is an easy fix

Just add 0x1005 to config.plist > CPU > Type.

2 reboots and 16 minutes later... Updated from the Software Update app in the System Preferences.

Did the update yesterday evening already before this thread has been started. I got really shocked from the purple lines on bootscreen. But I'm glad that I'm not the only one. It has cost me a few hours with trying to fix that one in my Clover EFI configuration. So hopefully WG or whatsoever will fix that soon. Everything else still behaves normal and because of a USB kext no fix is needed for that anymore.

Everything went smooth. Pink lines appeared and sometimes the screen was blank but no real problem during update. Prior to the update all kext and Clover have been updated to the latest version and a recent backup has been created.

I think it's just a Geekbench thing because LuxMark OpenCL scores are as good as they have ever been for me.

I think the same, my LuxMark Scores even improved with the update!

Quick question. Does anyone know if the latest Clover from Tonymacx86 download is sufficient for this upgrade (r4862)? Or is a newer version required?

Use the latest MultiBeast for Mojave as it has r4920. Do the following:

Bootloaders > Clover UEFI Boot Mode​

Build <---check to see that you selected the above​

Install​

When MultiBeast is done, reboot. Now you can update.
