macOS 10.12.4 Public Beta

[stahl]

new week – new beta ... Today Apple released the new developer Beta 4. This means tomorrow we will see macOS 10.12.4 public beta 4.

Done the update for 12.4 beta 4 (16E175b). Once again everything ok and now, only with two XCPM patches!

Now downloading Sierra 10.12.4 beta 5 (16E183b)
Come on Nvidia, what are you waiting for?

Nvidia won't release a driver for a day at least after the official release. I'm considering getting a ATI 480 to get around Nvidia issues since I highly doubt they will be releasing drivers after 10.12... unfortunately. the RX 480 is about 25% slower than my current 980Ti. I am hoping they open macOS up to 3rd party licensing since they suck at hardware updates but I have my doubts.

 

[Fergarth]

I've always done all the updates (including betas) and if I remember correctly, between 12.2 and 12.3, NV released beta drivers ... I'm hoping it will also do it (or not) before the official 12.4 release...

macOS Sierra 10.12.4 beta 6 (16E189a) now available

 

[AlphaFox]

make it stop!

 

[Fergarth]

After the nightmare (which I could not resolve) with 10.12.4 beta 5, I reverted back to 12.3 and today I did the direct update for 12.4 beta 6 and to my amazement, everything is working perfectly stable, sleep, wake, sound after sleep, bla, bla... without any problems, just with only two XCPM patches and no VoodooTSCSynk, which apparently does not currently do anything in my EFI.
Only problem, even without new Web Driver NV

I just switched to a RX 480 to eliminate Nvidia driver issues.

For me, broke bluetooth support (so AirDrop, HandsOff, and iWatch unlock). Wifi still works.

Card is Bcm94360cd (in an unsupported MacPro 3.1)

What did you expect if you knowingly use an unsupported system definition.
