Hi everyone. I recently upgraded to Catalina 10.15.5. I'm now trying to reapply Ben Dobell's patch https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update but am encountering the following error when the installation kicks off:

"installer: The upgrade failed. (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. The package is attempting to install content to the system volume.)"

I realize hardware acceleration is out but really did enjoy the better screen resolution that came with the patch previously. Any ideas?

Apologies this was asked and answered: sudo mount / -uw

Hi guys,

Thought to update you on this, I achieved this recently on my Acer Nitro 5 running High Sierra 10.13.6:

It was enabled via patch settings from Hackintool. Using that I was able to enter the necessary values into Clover, which enabled the Quicksync function.

Problems with build 17g66 are well documented, use the forum Search tool for details.
The short answer is to perform a security update which changes the build number and then install the appropriate web drivers,
