@esetnik and @xelanaiznac :

Replacing my AppleGVA.framework with a fresh one from macOS installer fixed this issue for me and VDADecoderChecker now reports "Hardware acceleration is fully supported".

Restore AppleGVA.framework from usb installer, run below from terminal then reboot

cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
sudo codesign --deep -fs - AppleGVA.framework
sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleGVA.framework

Source: #322

I had the exact same issue and solution!

Did you install Shiki as per mentioned post ?
I had to upgrade to 10.13.2 when installing full 10.13.2 install usb media over my 10.13.1 (as you did), so the AppleGVA.framework should be the original one ?
I also encounter this VDADecoder error, but no Shiki kext in my other Clover's folder.

I started using Shiki.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext after Xelanaiznac recommended it. I am currently only using the shikigva=60 boot argument as recommended here.

When I upgraded from macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 to 10.13.2, I just downloaded the full macOS installer and launched it from the Applications folder. I never had to create a new USB installer. Upgrading this was did NOT give me a fresh AppleGVA.framework. I still had to copy it from the macOS installer.
 
I finally got round to doing the proper USB fix using the steps you posted in ammulder's guide. In fact, given our configs were reasonably similar, I used your SSDT, and made the config.plist changes ammulder advised.

All seems fine, except I have lost Bluetooth. I admit I only use it for my Apple Magic Mouse, and occasionally with a headset. I have my Fenvi Wi-Fi-BT card linked to the only USB 2 mobo header, and as you did I excluded HS11--13 and I understood that would leave HS14 for BT. Wi-Fi works fine. Should I try enabling other ports off the USB 2 header, or give BT away?

Also, do you know of a power management ssdtprgen guide for the Skylake CPUs that is straight forward as the Coffee Lake one?

Using the SSDT-USB.aml file that I made for the Gene is fine. You just have to figure out which of the internal USB headers you have Bluetooth connected to. On the motherboard, there are two USB2 headers and one USB3 header. I had my Bluetooth connected to SS14.

Therefore, you can either (1) switch the internal header you are using or (2) in your config.plist, DO NOT disable HS12.

For power management with Skylake, you can just use the SSDT-XCPM.aml file and put it in to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/. If you do want to use ssdtprgen.sh instead, here are some very simple directions. (*Note: he used "-turbo 5000" because his CPU was overclocked to 5.0GHz.)

Pastrychef, I have to admit I was confused about the USB2 headers. The diagram on page 1-7 of the manual seems to show ROG Ext and USB1314 sharing a 9-pin connector on the left of the USB112 header. I thought I was misinterpreting, so my Wi-Fi/BT card I have connected the the USB1112 header. I have only just found the statement on page 1-33:
'1 x USB 2.0 ports (USB1314) at mid-boardcshare with ROG extension (ROG_EXT) port' :confused:
Not sure how that's possible, but I will re-wire! Too late now -- rearranging my office and it's 1.20am!
 
While I'm still awake, just tried to change my AirPort Extreme setup and my hack-Mac Airport utility could see the reset APX but couldn't join it. But my iPad had no problem and let me do the setup. Even after that, Airport utility on my desktop shows the APX greyed out with a yellow triangle beside it, and clicking on it I get the message that it was previously part of my network but 'not found'. Seems to me my Fenvi wi-fi/BT card, while it connects with the APX fine for Internet access, appears a bit 'foreign' to Airport utility. I'd like to find a better solution.

The ROG_EXT port and USB1314 are both used to connect Asus' optional hardware device that gives front panel overclocking capabilities. Since you do not have this optional device, you can use USB1314 as a normal USB2 header.

Remember, when you setup your config.plist and "uia_exclude=", you must NOT exclude HS14 (if you use USB1314) or HS12 (if you use USB1112). The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adaptor will use one of these USB ports and, therefore, if excluded, will not work.

Thanks again! Cancelled the exclusion of HS12 and BT is back.
 
hi @pastrychef so I put a USB2 2 port splitter inside of the case on the USB2 header (?) and I can't connect a bluetooth USB receiver to this so I can keep it inside the case.

It does work when connected to an external port, though.

Also is there any good way to figure out OC settings for the 6700k? I have it at 4.6Ghz at v1.285 and it's fine but sometimes freezes under macOS (but not Windows when I run Prime95 stress tests). I wonder if it needs more voltage.
