    Build advice for Sierra and Creative Suite 6 specifically

    I was just answering your question. Not sure site admin is particularly bothered, my post asking advice on getting un blocked has been removed. Maybe my ISP will come back with something helpful.

    Build advice for Sierra and Creative Suite 6 specifically

    I can't get on the site/forum through my home internet. I used the contact form and was told my IP was blocked because I had port scanned the site? I had to google what that meant. I have only been replying to posts via my phone with wifi turned off and using mobile data. I have given a log of...

    @Edhawk @Jasonhacks Thanks for all the help. Bit of an update, my IP is still blocked, but I finally got a rx580 at a decent price. Popped it in and it booted fine with full screen and the first drivers I'd installed. All seems to be working correctly with my second screen attached too and my...

    Hi @Edhawk thanks for reply, they were both in the plist you uploaded. Just read up on how to change boot arg so will hopefully get safe mode to work. Update. Safe mode just black screens as well.

    @Edhawk Tried changing the boot arg but still black screen, reset nvram before. Tried recovery (is that safe mode in OC?) Can I check I've been doing it correctly, I have been changing the text in this line <string>-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=1 nvda_drv_vrl=1 </string> found this one...

    The card only has 2 dvi connections, I've been using the white one without issues until now. I will change the boot argument and try again, thanks

    @Edhawk Sorry to be a pain. I have done fresh plist with nv_disable=1 but it just blackscreens and won't boot from stick. The install on HD boots fully but with a black screen. I just can't get back in to install the revised drivers. Here is the log.

    Thanks for the quick reply, I've broken it at the moment. The EFI has gone to a yellow icon and doesn't load anything. I can't even get to boot from the USB stick to revert back. Will try again later. And see if I can get a log.

    Thanks for the reply, yes its a keyboard with the old round connector. The system only did 2 updates from the app store up to 17G14042 and I downloaded the relevant drivers. I didn't know to reset the nvram so will put the instruction back in and try that first, if that doesn't work I have...

    @Edhawk Bit of an update and new issue. I got the apps installed, but can't get graphics acceleration working. I have downloaded and installed the nvidia drivers 387.10.10.10.40.140 (now have logo in top bar) I tried removing nv_disable=1 but got a black screen (think the system had booted in...

    Thank you so much for that, once I had figured out gensmbios wouldn't work in mavericks, I sorted in windows. Got the installer to work at the second attempt with the nv_disable=1 and I am currently working trough the system updates. I had bought a rx580 off ebay to use but the courier has...

    I had followed the guide you had linked to. I'll give it another go from scratch, maybe I missed something and I may see if I can revert back to an older bios as I'm not syre I was doing the patch correctly. Thanks again for your time

    @Edhawk Thanks for reply. I'm sorry, I'm struggling to get the boot disc to build with a later version. I have used unibeast and and followed the HS guide and the installer won't finish. I worked through the patch for msi z390 board, because I had updated to latest bios but still didn't work...

    OK so I've had issues getting back on the forum, I thought the site was down, but it seems somthing at my end is stopping me on home Internet, I can get on the forum via mobile network. @Jamesbond007 I have tried clover, but struggled to find the correct version to use. I have maybe used too...
