No other SSDTs or changes to DSDT are needed.

If you have already flashed the Designare's on-board Titan Ridge, we must welcome you into the Society of Mad Scientists. :)
I'm trying to get flashed AR working on my Aorus Pro, relocated into another case, and then I can get on with the installation of the Designare. I know that membership in the Society of Mad Scientists is highly coveted, and I aspire to membership some day.

where I am (or as we say in indiana, where I'm at) is I have flashed the AR with Elias1 bin, and DROM SSDT (attached) work fine audio, camera, pass-through TB port). the display lights up after display sleep, but after system sleep, a mouse click or key press makes the fans spin up, but the system seems to be frozen--no display, and no ability to access via screen sharing. what log can in inspect for a cause, and where is it located?

I have the _E17 to XE17 patch in config.plist, but I seem to remember that the _INI to XINI patch isn't needed. are both these assumptions correct?

are there any BIOS settings that come to mind that I should experiment with?

thanks

If you are using an add-in-card, it is necessary to determine its PCI address such as RP21 or RP05 or something else. IORegistryExplorer will give us that information. Feel free to select File --> Save As... and post the saved IOReg file.
the AR AIC is at RP21, which is consistent with the SSDT I'm using (attached to above post)

so the issue remains as system freeze during/after sleep

Please check if agdpmod=pikera is present in Boot Args.

Edit: If you use config-AMD-GPU.plist, this argument will be there by default.
Just want to make sure that I understand this since I’ve been doing it wrong for about a year lol... so I would only use the intel config file If I do not have a graphics card?
Ie. even know I have an intel GPU, since I’m plugged into the RX 5700, I would want the AMD version?

correct, you are using an AMD card to plug your monitor in, not your intel

UPDATE 07-11-2020:
Finally I got rid of the issue with final cut pro X. CaseySJ I found the post you mention OpenCore Sanity Checker. So I used my config.plist and fixed all the errors Sanity Checker was reporting. After that Finder and fcpx work w/o issues. I can't talk enough how great Sanity Checker is!!! Hope at Tuesday BigSur will launch and soon have a great guide from CaseySJ. Best Regards!
Sorry, I missed your post from before but it may be related to what I was experiencing recently. In my case as in yours, after browsing with Safari, the 'pkd' and 'lsd' processes would ramp up and other applications, like FCP would not allow an open/save dialog box to open. With activity monitor, I forced those processes to quit, and everything goes back to normal. I have a lot of plugins loaded in FCP and there is something that Safari is doing in connection with those plug ins that seems to cause the 'pkd' process to go crazy. As long as I don't launch Safari, I'm fine. What issues in the Sanity Checker did you correct that seems to have fixed the problem for you?

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately I stopped these processes by "force quit" in activity monitor but still have the issue. It's something else that I cannot find for long time. My 2nd hackintosh which is almost the same as my main doesn't have these issues and all plugings are installed also. This is because the installation went through clover. My main didn't have this issue also when I had it with clover. With OpenCore these issues showed up.

Try to swap your storage drives and see if you still have theses issues

Hello guys. Is there a guide/link to the post on how to install Supplemental updates? I just got a notification about one for 10.15.7. I checked the first post and the last 15-20 pages, but couldn't find how people are doing it.
I've never installed any updates before (I only did fresh OS installation twice).
