How to Fix Most of My Apps Are Crashing
Graphics issues usually stem from an unsupported GPU, missing acceleration patches, or incorrect boot arguments.
Quick Fix Steps
- Verify GPU support: Check if your GPU model is natively supported in your target macOS version via WhateverGreen documentation.
- Update kexts: Ensure Lilu and WhateverGreen are current and loaded before other GPU-related kexts.
- Check boot arguments: Add
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100for debugging, oragdpmod=pikerafor modern AMD cards. - Test Metal support: Open About This Mac > System Report > Graphics and confirm Metal is listed.
Verification
- Graphics acceleration is smooth (not CPU-bound).
- Metal is reported in System Information.
- No GPU-related kernel panics on boot.

Original Question: "Most of My Apps Are Crashing!!!"
 |
So I thought I had finally gotten all of my hardware working in my hackintosh, but now that i'm trying to actually use it, just about every app crashes. If I open firefox I only get the firefox crash reporter (I can use firefox as long as I launch in safe mode by option clicking the app). VLC crashes if I open any video file. Safari shows the "A problem repeatedly occurred with [this site]" message on about half of the sites that i try to visit. Photoshop won't even open. Other apps like chrome and quicktime seem to work fine. I thought maybe i broke something by using migration assistant to move my user accounts from my old hackintosh, so today i formatted my drive and did a fresh install of Catalina 10.15.6. I didnt transfer anything, but I still have the exact same issues with freshly installed apps. I've been using hackintosh over 10 years now (but i'm very new to open core) and i've never run into anything like this. I have no idea where to even start. Please help.
