Ok. I can confirm that chrome froze for me too when I surfed that website. Also, it froze on Youtube!

For now, I disabled acceleration in chrome by going to Preferences and turning off acceleration. It has not crashed since then.

If you can't even get to chrome settings, then open chrome from terminal by passing a flag to turn of gpu acceleration ( first result on google for "start google chrome terminal disable acceleration")

That made better sense. I got the SMBIOS to be nearly filled out (was missing ROM), but didn't change anything about the Chrome website: www.tv2.dk / hardcrash. So I tried your EFI folder, same thing. I tried to use your EFI folder and then swap the uuidgen number with mine, same thing.

Says my card is Vega 64 but it's an 56 (I guess you modified something?:))

Is there anything else I can try?

I have whatever green n lilu kexts which helped me identify my RX 64. Maybe they are out of date and not recognizing your card properly. There shouldn't be any thing else affecting your GPU model detection

I have the latest Lilu / Green at home, I will try and swap them to see if it helps.

@dashingncool does your computer freeze if you go to www.tv2.dk in Chrome? (I am pretty sure if I get the chrome problem fixed, then my FCP X will be good - so that's why I test in Chrome).

Ahh sorry! missed it. That is good news I guess, so it’s wide ‘spread. I guess that will be fixed when we get a real iMac 19.1.

Thanks for every help @dashingncool - This upgrade for me has been the most Vanilla osx ever, running the 5k with 2x dp cables just works OOB with that single kext patch has been bliss. Not worried about updates is the real deal too (Damn Nvidia got complicated on last minor update).

I will keep watching lilu/green updates in hopes we get a solution sooner then december :)
 
Awesome! Glad to be be of help.

This is the best hack build for me as well. After disabling hardware acceleration, its all good.
 
Hi all - recently installed HS on my build (Asus ROG Hero VIII, i7 6700k, Vega 56 flashed with Vega 64 bios, wifi/bluetooth card).. works pretty well so far OOTB except for the known crashes in Electron Apps (Discord in my case). I've added Lilu/EverGreen. Now just one thing bugging me.. getting the computer to wake from sleep. Tried various darkmodes all to no avail - anybody have any tips pls? Would iMac 19,1 help?
