Pages, Numbers, Keynote, crash upon launching - 2012 MBP 15" non-retina

Hello Legends,

Please allow me to report an issue which I was't able to find luck after going through a few forums. Hopefully some legends have already resolved it.

Issues:

OCLP ver 2.0.0-2.1.2 + MacOS Sonoma 14.1-14.7.2

Pages, Numbers, Keynote crash upon launching.

  • to be more specific: click on any app, the interface flashes, then disappears -an opaque shape shows up where the "create new file" screen is. But it never gets to a visible or stable "create new document" interface as some reports say.

Configuration:

MacBook Pro 2012 15in, non-retina

Failed experiments:

all combinations of

  • OCLP 2.0.0 - 2.1.2
  • MacOS Sonoma versions 14.1-14.7.2

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm still narrowing down the root cause by comparing similar cases. So please feel free to add something here

------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Compiled: Case 1]

[Resolved: iMac 2011, 27" ]

Issue:

  • works - Ventura, Sonoma
  • crashes - Sequoia

Solution:

  • OCLP + Sonoma

Slightly different symptom:

  • apps launch to the "Create New File" stage, then crash while creating/ opening one.

Variables:

- CPU: Sandy Bridge, compared with MBP 2012 - Ivy Bridge

- no Metal support, whereas MBP 2012 with legend Metal support

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll keep updating this part, sorting similar reports following the same format.

Happy holidays!
