What version of mac os you trying for 10.13.5?

Yea APFS and HFSPLUS will not be on there you will have to add it in manually.

yea you can use it from a real mac. You can google how to pull it from a real mac. Its a phrase and when you see it you will laugh. But i dont think it has any peformance diff with the FakeSMC just makes you OS even more vanilla.

I usually check out tonymac for hackintosh news.

Im in the same boat as cox has 80 and 443 blocked for me. How do you use the ddns val with duckdns?

Just update like a normal hackintosh. I went from 10.13.4 to 10.13.5 today. Downloaded the update from the app store, it rebooted, updated and i was back at the desktop in about 30 minutes. Installed the updated web drivers after and everything is all good.

Also are you using gridrunners xml as a base? It's missing some stuff that's important from there. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Try using 2 or 4 core cores...use Q2.11 instead of 2.9 and are running this VM on a hard disk. Even if it gets up and running it's gonna be slow slow from a hard disk. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

You need the fakeSMC unless you have a osk key in your xml. The OsxAptioFix3Drv should work, I use it. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Try the Lilu and NvidiaFixup kext to see if it help with the GPU problem. Just copy and paste them into the kext/Other folder on your EFI/clover partition.

I bet it's the 6 cores passed thru. Try 2,4 or 8 cores. Mac like core counts that mimic real CPU cooler counts. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

<topology sockets='1' cores='8' threads='2'/> Sockets does sound correct, try the above. My High Sierra vm is my main so i run it all day, Also what BT/WIFI card are you using for handoff ect.?

I ran this for a long time using the official Plex docker. It worked and never had a problem with the docker image filling. Now I had my ram fill up a couple times watching live TV. If you cd into the /tmp/ directory using the terminal run ls -lh to see if anything Plex appears. For some reason all plex's transcoding folders are hidden when in /tmp/.

If your making a install disk from 10.13.4 run this command on the install disk. rm /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra/.IAPhysicalMedia The .IAPhysicalMedia was added to 10.13.4 and stops the bootloader from seeing the installer. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Go to a newer release. Im on 4411 right now.

what clover version are you installing? Early versions of clover would not install to the EFI.

Check the cpu mode line to look like this cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'>

Nice bump for me. I have a 1600x with 4 cores 8 threads passedthru. CPU is oc'ed to 3.9.

There is a way to boot safe mode thru clover. No sure of the clover line arguments. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

For adding a GPU to the xml setup a fedora or Ubuntu VM and install virt manager. Using it to add hardware to your xml is easy mode. I added a GPU, usb sound card and a Bluetooth adapter without fiddling with the xml. As for the amd card thing I think there's something using clover configurator you can toggle.

Yeah I'm using apfs. I updated like normal and installed Nvidia drivers after. I do have to select the install from HD selection in the clover bootloader when I updated to 10.13.2. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Im on 10.13.2 right now

Download the new version and install using the same parameters as your install disk. Then copy the clover folder from your Mac os install disk over to the efi of your Hackintosh main disk. Use the efi mounter program to mount the efi partition. I personally keep a copy of my install disk clover folder in a Hackintosh folder on my desktop along with all the other Hackintosh tools I need for installs. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

You can update clover right in Mac os just remember to copy over the right contents into the clover folder. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

try a different vnc client. Chicken of the VNC, VNC viewer, tightVNC etc.
