Hardware Acceleration

Apps requiring hardware acceleration crashes, more info here. This can be prevented by disabling hardware acceleration on those apps or by increasing the VRAM size to 1GB+. You can use Smokeless UMAF AMD Tool.
Hey, I'm trying to boot Ventura on my laptop (same as yours but Intel). I noticed that you have "DevirtualiseMmio" disabled on your config without any whitelists, contrary to what's on Dortania's guide. I found the same here https://github.com/AbhaySingh15/Acer-aspire-7-A715-75G-Opencore-EFI on the Intel variant config. My hackintosh hangs after "PCI configuration end" with DevirtualiseMmio enabled, but if I disable it I get "vm_shared_region_start_address() failed". I tried the Intel config I linked earlier on Monterey/Ventura and I'm getting the same error. Did you face any similar problems during your setup? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
